Socializing
Published on 07/15,2008
Did more socializing today than work. Four of us took lunch (pizza) out to David, who is still recuperating from shoulder surgery. Took forever to figure out what we were taking ... David has a sensitive stomach, Chris can't eat pork, Stacey didn't want subs because there's too much bread, and I never consulted Jessie ... although I remembered she doesn't like tomatoes. So Stacey and I made an executive decision and ordered pizza ... but one without tomatoes and without bacon, ham, or sausage.
Anyway, we had pizza and Cokes and a good visit with David. He's coming along.
Then at 2 there was a baby shower for a coworker who is having a little girl, Brooklyn, sometime next month. Lots of cute little girly things. I'm continually amazed at the new gadgets on the market, baby gadgets, that is. She got 2 "oral care" things. I'm sorry, but both of my kids came looking like their granddaddy ... NO TEETH. So what's up with oral care for babies? Surely I'm not the only mom who gave birth to toothless babies. I still am in awe of warmers for diaper wipes, which, by the way, did not exist when I had babies in 1979 and 1976. I used a good ol' warm washcloth. But then, I also used cloth diapers instead of disposable. Wish I'd invented those ... the wet wipes.
Came home and my Jaybug is here. Chris's childhood friend, Brian, lost his mom yesterday to pancreatic cancer. She was only 53. Brian's dad, Lee, was one of Kelly's baseball coaches 20 years ago. Seems like it was just a little while ago, not 20 years. So Jay is with Mawmaw while Chris has gone to the funeral home. Ed and I will go after supper.
