dessert & fiber one bars

this past thursday the girls from my bible study threw me a little baby shower. we were supposed to eat dessert at a little bistro on main street, however, those plans fell thru when that little restaurant was found to be closed. so quickly, i suggested the ole’ AppleBee’s because i love blondies. both the little 19 month olds named Jackson and the dessert. so, off we went. we had a really sweet waiter named Michael who was a bit overwhelmed with us. after all, 5 out of the 10 of us are pregnant.
i haven’t laughed so hard in so long. that was the best therapy anyone could have offered me. just when i’m feeling consumed by the daunting task of raising two little boys, my sweet friends rallied to lift my spirits and remind me not to take myself so seriously. and might i mention that my super sweet friends from work have also uplifted me so much this past week. thank you so much lacey, kendra, melanie and claudia for all of your sweet, sweet comments on my previous post.

i shouldn’t go into too many details because i know some guys read this blog as well as some family members, but lets just say, no discomfort of pregnancy went undiscussed. and i have never laughed harder. the funniest part of the night was when one of the pregnant gals (i’ll keep her name anonymous) was offered a fiber one bar. after a plate of mozzarella sticks and a little desert called the triple chocolate meltdown she quickly seized the fiber one bar and dipped it into the remaining ice cream on her plate as only a woman would do if plagued by the discomfort of constipation. we all watched in amazement and i couldn’t catch my breath i was laughing so hard. she was so stinkin’ cute about the whole thing. it was like something out of a movie.

i love these girls like they are my sisters and have known many of them since middle school. i am so blessed to call them my friends. i love you gals so much! thank you for such a wonderful night and for such a generous baby gift.
