Non-Shower

Seems like no one liked my wisdom of yesterday...perhaps the tongue-in-cheekness of it didn't come across. I still maintain that it is true...but that is neither here nor there.

Anyway, on to newer topics. Chicago this weekend for my non-shower and to visit. Munchkin is coming with me (she hasn't seen her niece in forever!) but The Boy is staying home. The big reason is that his brother is coming to visit this weekend, but I am not sure he would have come with me anyway.

I am told that we are expecting pretty much all of my female relatives, save for two aunts and a cousin that are definitely not invited;-), plus a couple of friends. I think the total will be around about 25 people...which should be a good size. And I am getting my wish: a couple hours of cocktails and light appetizers with no presents;-). And cake:-D.

[The invitations included a note that said something to the effect of "AM has requested that there be no gifts, and is likely to throw a tantrum if you try and give her one. So please, don't".]

It will be a little on the early side, which will allow the people that want to get home early to do that...and will act as a nice warm-up to those of us that want to go out afterwards. I am actually not real sure what the plan is, but I think there may be a dozen or so people that want to go out to dinner afterwards...I am not sure, since I am not in charge:-).

It won't be a long trip...leaving after work Friday and coming back Sunday afternoon. I am staying with the BFF's, and Munchkin is staying with her brother. I have a breakfast date with Tinkerbelle on Saturday, as well, which I am most definitely looking forward to:-).

And that is about it, I guess...at least until our French visitors show up the following weekend...
