Wendy sometimes attending to keep the peace is the only option. I have a co-worker I would really rather not hang out with EVER, but she is getting married in June. I have refused all invitations to other events over the past 3 years and this is one I just cannot get out of. So, in order to save myself from having to sit around with a bunch of bikers, I offered to be the photographer. She buys the chip I take the pics. YAY ME!!!!

Hehe! But see, I think sitting at home with my animals, doing exactly what I want to do, and not worrying over everything that comes out of my mouth... is a heck of a lot more fun and enjoyable than making small talk with a bunch of strangers or half aquaintences. She could have a nice bubble bath, read a book, and cuddle with a pet!

if you feel you must get a gift, I'd go to the Target or nearest store like that and get a pack of diapers (if you know they aren't going to be using cloth diapers) and some wipes and maybe some baby soap. You know that's stuff they'd use.

I wouldn't feel inclined to get a gift. If you didn't receive a formal invitation, then I wouldn't feel a gift was needed. If you were sent an invitation via mail or email then I'd probably send a little something.

I do not like baby showers either and I have 2 babies myself. The games I found silly. We celebrated my last baby after she arrived with a "birthday" party for her that was just a BBQ and cake, no games and everyone got to come and oogle her.

Well, Debi, that just proves that you are person who realizes that not everything is about you. Sometimes you do things you would rather not because it makes other people feel better.

First rule of social etiquette.

It would be easier if I could be a beeotch.

You wouldn't believe some of the music they are playing. I think she is walking down aisle to Metallica. I can't even type the titles of some of the songs they are that bad.

OMG you should hear some of the stuff that comes out of my mouth! But I am so charming that people think I am funny, even when I speak before thinking. But I know what you mean- people often say to me, "I can't believe you said that!"

It could be fun. Sometimes people that you think are going to be horrid turn out to be really nice.

It's not the guests I am worried about. Worried isn't the right word. This gal has a nickname and it's Skanky. I think he lifelong dream is to be a Hell's Angel. She is 48 years old.
