I did get together with a friend Saturday night though so that was nice.<br /><br />The driveway sounds about par for the course for you guys. I'm sorry.<br /><br />Opening gifts at showers always seems weird to me, I always feel awkward about it - like it's a competition or something. At my shower I was super uncomfortable. I got used to it and now it seems weird not to open gifts at the shower - but it's a good change as far as I'm concerned. Most of the showers I'm invited to are for co-workers and they are always come and go which I like so much better than the traditional ones with games.<br /><br />Crud - that reminds me. I have a shower on Wednesday for a favorite co-worker. I need to decide what I'm getting her. She has an amazon list so I just need to choose something. I was waiting to see what other items got purchased before I make my choices.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-54910848424697466772019-08-26T08:01:45.116-04:002019-08-26T08:01:45.116-04:00It was a good weekend of getting a few things done...It was a good weekend of getting a few things done, enjoying a long drive in the country for a change with the weather being so nice, and some much needed rest. Have three appts this morning and it'll be a busier week at work, but all very manageable. Have a super week!dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-19095020992879538802019-08-26T07:19:35.396-04:002019-08-26T07:19:35.396-04:00Sounds like a full weekend!

I've also been to a "display" shower where you dont wrap anything and just set your gift on a table for display. I prefer them open if I know most of the guests, but not if I only know the bridevor mama. My mom's bestie always excuses herself and leaves when it's time to open the gifts. She just says I don't do gifts I'm going to leave now. She does give a gift she just doesn't want to watch all of the opening lol. My baby from Washington made his move home to St Louis and on to my house this weekend. Both my boys were home for the first time since Christmas. They got to work on my to do list on Saturday morning. I got a new refrigerator so that meant that the garage needed a spot cleaned out to put my old one. That was a trip as I feel like they thought I was a hoarder. I found myself justifying everything I wanted to keep. Needless to say, the garbage man and Scrappers have a full day for them tomorrow morning. My older son weeded my pond area and got out a lot of roots. They installed a handrail going down to the basement and it added extra handles for my pocket door. They also replaced cracked and broken pavers in my patio and sidewalk. I've been battling a nasty cold so I slept on and off. We went out for a disappointing dinner on Saturday night. I made them breakfast and they continued on their chores Amazon my older one left to go back to St Louis. It was a weekend of Celebration as my youngest son Snahged a job offer on Friday. He will be here until Thursday and then off to St Louis. So good to see him. Have a great weekDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818785860858381950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-59921846381069500372019-08-26T07:07:51.515-04:002019-08-26T07:07:51.515-04:00I had been looking forward to the shower but wow w...I had been looking forward to the shower but wow was that awkward. So glad we were there for our friend but if we'd been told she wasn't going to formally open presents in front of everyone I think we would have bowed out of it. At least it was a nice day outside so we were comfortable from a temparature standpoint.<br />The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
