What Would Martha Stewart Think?

Today, I went to the most non-traditional (and interesting) baby shower I have ever attended in my life.

1 - It was a breakfast baby shower. It started at 10:30 in the morning, but mimosas were served and we all had a few drinks with our breakfast (except for the mom-to-be).

2 - It was a "co-ed" baby shower. As the mom-to-be put it, "I didn't get this way by myself".

3 - The father-to-be was suffering from a broken ankle from a skateboarding accident. (Since he is on crutches, he said that when they go to the wine and spirits store, she has to buy his booze which has made made for lots of strange looks in their direction.)

4 - Many were tattooed--both men and women.

5 - No baby shower games were played. It was not at all "girly"- - even though mom-to-be is having a girl. (I don't think I saw a single pink stork.)

6 - Several "baby shower inappropriate" things were discussed that I can't even hint about in this blog.

7 - We had drinks (let me say it again--there was booze at a morning baby shower), we ate breakfast, she opened gifts, we ate cake and we left--it was only a 2 hour shower and then we could all get on with our day.

It was the most entertaining baby shower I have ever attended.
