Anxiety - a shower? Oh no!

Don't get me wrong. 

I love showers - baby, bridal, even rain showers.   Love attending them and don't mind getting a few rain drops on me when running from car to work, gym, etc., during one.

The problem is -- I'm not a very creative person when planning and implementing one.

I turn white -- and become immobile.

I have no visual creativity.  During the four years I taught PE & Health, I put up one bulletin board in the beginning of each year ... and it remained there until the last day of school. 

So, this baby shower scares me.

My sisters-in-law threw a beautiful shower for my niece. It was a Winnie the Pooh theme. Ready for this? A game included naming certain aspects of Winnie the Pooh cartoons, etc. I got a big ZERO.  Baby themes and I don't go together - like bulletin boards.

Luckily, Jessie selected a great theme - farm animals.  That's easy to handle.  I LOVE animals.  Jessie & Justin hope one day to own a mini farm. Animals are definitely part of it.  So, I'm on board with that. Note, I did not write "bored."

So, with the help of dear friends, we had our first Baby Shower Board meeting. It went well.  I like what we're doing.  It's Jessie. And that's what it's all about.

So... giddyup baby shower.  I'm in the saddle - and hopefully I won't fall off.

My Grandma Hertzel used to sing this song Pony Boy to me when I was young.  Maybe that is where I came to love animals.  Here is a 1909 version . . . but Grandma's was much more enjoyable.
