I can only imagine retaliating against a shower by not going. But I can't even imagine that, since I've been lucky.
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We made onesies with iron ons (mostly Ramones and funny song lyrics) and hung out. It was fantastic.
Awesome! I should track down some Ramones iron-ons for Rose -- they are by far her favorite band.
My boss was 7 or 8 months pregnant and her sisters came in and screamed at her for over an hour about how difficult her friends were making the planning of the baby shower. I could not believe it.
Jesus.
smonster, lots of ~ma for your sister that it's something easy and cheap to solve.

Making onsies is one of the few shower activities that I actually think is fun.

The status is NOT quo.
I should add that I actually think it would be very different going to a shower for someone I’m really close to -- most of the ones I’ve struggled with have been family and people I’m not as close to, which makes the forced frivolity harder to deal with for me.

She is so cool.
Totally. Already cooler than her parents, that's for sure. I barely knew any Ramones songs before she was born, and now I can probably sing you the entirety of Rocket to Russia, including the bonus tracks. Of course, it helps that all the songs only have about four lines each.

Oh dear gods I can’t even. I’m just about out of spoons and I have an out of town guest who I haven’t seen in 8+ years arriving at 10 and the house is so close but...yeah. Having a hard time mustering the energy for a final push.
But hi! You and the bebe are adorable.
