Shower

Evening!  I hope everyone had a great day!!  My day was wonderful.  My niece had her bridal shower this morning.  It started at 11:00 and was a brunch, and what I think perfect!!  You got in and out and it didn't completely screw up anyone's day.  Her wedding is in Feb, but with the holidays so close it was decided to do the shower early rather then later.  The theme was fall, and the hall looked wonderful.  Each table had a center piece of a tin/wood angels and ceramic pumpkins surrounded by leaf garland.  It doesn't sound the greatest, but they were cute and made the tables pop with color.  Coffee, juices, and wine punch to wet the pallet.  Plates and plates of every kind of danish, sweet rolls, bagels, and doughnuts you could think of.  What a way to start the party!!  She had a great showing and the table and bar were filled with gifts.  She's always been spoiled ::grin:: being the first, and it continues now.  After all the greetings were done, and we took our seats the buffet was opened.  Eggs of various kinds, sausage, roasted potatoes, roast beef with weck rolls (weck rolls are a staple of the area and pretty much unique here too.  They are like a kaiser roll with seeds and salt on top- a great way to eat roast beef), and salad.  Perfect for me with the mouth pain I've been experiencing.  Almost like she knew.  I didn't eat the beef on a roll, but rather just cut it up.  It was tender, juicy, and about melted in your mouth.  I added the beef on weck to my list of must haves after my surgery!  LOL  Gifts were opened, and she got so many nice things and so much of what she had on her list. 

 

She is your typical young girl getting married for the first time.  It is the subject matter of everything.  She is so excited she can't help but give details, share ideas, ask questions and look for advice.    Hmmm... actually that is like anyone getting married isn't it?  First time or 5th.  It's an exciting event in your life and you just have to share details, events, planning snafu's, and pictures with some if not all.  AAaahh I remember mine.  I about busted a gut with excitement and couldn't wait to share everything.  LOL  Now can I forget it?  No, seriously, she is so damn excited as are the rest of us.  Have I told you she's always been spoiled?

 

It was a great day, except for one thing that pissed me off.  My pictures.  They came out blurry and most are a waste.  I am not sure if it was the lightening or if I had inadvertently messed up the settings but getting a good picture was not happening.  Ok, a couple, but for the most part it was a bust.  I will be spending tomorrow trying to figure out things, but in the meantime here are two....

I came home and after changing and getting situated I logged on to go through mail.  I got an alert from Morgan at Random Thoughts and of course checked it out.  I laughed so hard I even had tears.  Not sure if I was crying because I was laughing so hard or if I just got emotional because of the sentiment.  Thanks Morgan, you are such a doll!!  I truly appreciate what you did, and thank you all who commented, I am all warm and fuzzy inside. 

 

 

 

As Bill stated earlier in one of his comments, my boys played the Flyers tonight.  I of course watched the game.  In horror I thought Bill jinxed them by saying they could mail it in.  After they went up a goal the Flyers started 'gooning it up', or so I call it.  They were trying to get the boys off their game and it almost worked, but the boys prevailed once again in OT and won 5-4. 

 

 

I'm off to bed, it's extremely late and I need some sleep.  Have a great evening and see you tomorrow :)

hugs
