    She sounds like a heaping dose of crazy.

  • Nope, you shouldn't feel bad at all.

  • She's weird and that's definitely not something you should do for her.

    It's not too late. Maybe I'll run into her again and let her know what I'm going to need from her.

  • Or you could be just as klassy and say, "I am going to need you to kiss my a$$"

  • Oh sure..I'll plan it...I'll plan it to take place in her house...with her money :)
  • I hope she isn't one of those women who have babies because they think they're "cute" and treat them like accessories?  I have never been pregnant but if I was or was even TTC a baby shower would not be the first thing on my mind.

  • I must be honest, I got the idea from my friend (the trainwreck one who I adore). She asked one of her friends to throw her a baby shower. So she gave the friend $200 for food and decorations, then said friend could use her house for the shower. It was still fun times lol.

  • It was very fun and she got the best cake. It was some sort of white angel food with butttercream and fresh fruit on the bottom. yummy! Then we had blindfolded diaper races where we had to diaper stuffed animals. I won, even though I had never put a diaper on anything in my life (which is why that was fun, slightly competitive over here).

    At least it was her own money. It's such a small difference between her situation and the almost situation with the crazy girl I know, but such a big difference at the same time. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />

  • If you have to pay someone to throw you a shower, wouldn't the money be better spent on buying stuff for the baby?  People are weird.

  • I think I'm going to start telling random people to throw me parties. I wonder how many would do it.

    Wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong?
  • But if you don't have the shower you can't get gifts! You think she's planning on paying for a stroller?
  • While you're at it Shannon, you need to throw me a bridal shower. I need more presents. And I want to have a collection jar there. Oh  no, not to pay for the food, but for me to take home. 

    K? Thanks!
