We have a wedding shower to attend tommorrow, and I've been cooking a few things to bring, including some simple cupcakes. I had put the batter in heart-shaped foil cupcake cups, which overflowed. I guess this is what happens when someone who doesn't cook much anymore tries to bake a batch of freaking cupcakes. Otherwise, my Death By Carbohydrate contributions to the party came out well. I made a double batch of Emerils' Four Cheese Macaroni & Cheese (my staple mac & cheese recipe), Pasta Salad & Chex Muddy Buddies (don't ask). Tommorrow morning, the only part of the contribution that I should actually eat, I'll finish the Deviled Eggs.
The wedding shower is for my husbands' brother and fiance - who are getting married very close to my due date. Bob's already threatened them that I might very well go into labor during the reception, breaking my water on the dance floor. Bob's the Best Man - though he's mentioned that they may need a back-up. I told Bob that it's alright if he's not there during the entire labor and delivery process, you know, it's been done three times before pretty uneventfully - technically without his help, right? It's highly unlikely to happen that very day, but, it's kinda funny to think it might. My sister in law is within a week of her due date right now, and I told her it would be funny if she went into labor tommorrow, during this wedding shower shindig.
His brother and I are exactly the same age - about one month apart - and it's funny to think they're just starting out, getting married, just bought their first place, and we've been doing this for years. Our seventh wedding anniversary is next week - (yes, we did it backwards considering my daughter is nearly nine).
I'm seriously wasting time here - so what else? Uh, we did get a crib, after an unsuccessful trip to Babies-R-Us. My four year old deemed that " cribs are dumb" and got very cranky in the store, so after buying no baby items at the baby store, we ended up at IKEA and bought an assembly-required crib that was $200 cheaper. It's not like my babies ever use cribs, like, ever, but I figure we need to at least try to use one, once in a while.
