Today was Jennifer's baby shower. It was far from the boring old traditional showers you usually have to endure a few times a year - this one had a rock 'n' roll theme. The colors were red and black (no pansy-ass Powder Blue or Pepto Pink), there was fruit and ice cream (not cake and punch - we went with foods we knew Mom-to-be actually liked), and the scattered decorations were classic rock albums and 45s. Presents were opened to a mix CD featuring Janis Joplin, Queen, Green Day, the Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Who, and many more. Also, all of us throwing the shower each wore a T-Shirt depicting a different rock band. Yeah, we're dorks, but we're cool dorks.
Anyway, Jenn recieved a lot of baby stuff, and she was very grateful. She was also touched by the amount of thought we put into the shower itself - it really meant a lot to her that we did something that took her personality and interests into consideration. She's only been in our department a year, but we are all really really really gonna miss her while she's out on maternity leave - oh, well, at least we'll get a baby out of it!
And I just know she's gonna go into labor when it's just me and her in the van and then I'm gonna have to deliver a baby and won't that be an interesting entry...
Okay, I'm sleepy, and I'm going to sleep.
