things that are sweet

a surprise baby shower at ebscoland today. i walked into the manchester conference room with my notepad and pencil to be greated with cake and brownies and presents. the ladies all came and we talked about Carters brand clothing, "the postpartum waddle," and baby powder.

i learned that talcom-based baby powder sticks in babies' lungs, but cornstarch-based powder is fine. luckily, last night while out with momby at Target i chose the 100% cornstarch powder. definitely a mistake on my part, but one that was a happy one.

i wonder if i have remnants of talcom powder in my lungs? we all survived our childhoods apparently.

we celebrated my birthday at my in-laws with dinner, scattergories, and heavenly peach pie. j. gave me a dwight k. schrute bobble head doll to help me commemorate my time at The Office, and a box of chocolates. momby gave me a gift certificate to get a pedicure, and a box of chocolates. and j. and h. gave me a candle... and a box of chocolates.
