Anyone who knows me five
minutes knows I like to shop. I also like to celebrate
life's special and even a-little-better-than-everyday moments. We have had a lot of those in The
Longmont Book Club I'm happy to report. First that comes to mind is babies! I think April was first with Jack who just turned one, and then Cynthia with Patrick who is almost one I think, and after Thanksgiving
Annika had baby Luna and Denise just had the twins Naomi and Hollis and Tuesday
Danine had
Xander! Whew! That's a Jr.
LBC right there! I usually like to lunch when I know it's a birthday (not everyone reveals that information - I should ask for it on sign-up day). I was thinking though that others need to be recognized, those that aren't childbearing, we are to be
honored for "holding it together and bearing up" for at least nine months out of the year as well. I know, after three children of my own, that all that
birthin' babies is an uncomfortable business to put it politely. Getting through each day for me is sometimes a huge obstacle course! The very fact that I'm vertical and have my make-up on is a God given miracle. So to those of us without a cooing infant, the regular guy and gal, Persona non
grata, it's time we had a shower for us! When was the last time you
received a set of wine glasses just because we know how much you tip it back? In the months to come in 2010 and beyond, lets see if we can spread the baby showers around, we'll call them "buddy showers". And hey! If you're pregnant or planning on becoming so in the near future could you please let me know so I can start baby browsing in bulk? I'm in the mood to go shopping - I can always get vertical and my make-up on for that! (And Congratulations on all those beautiful babies and may they all sleep through every night!)
