I was wondering...

why I didn't get any comments last night on this post. The I realized I *thought* about posting, composed it in my head... but didn't actually make it to the computer. So here's a second version for your entertainment:

My sister in law was expecting a new baby girl in the middle of March. She had the baby this past Saturday - wonderful! Everyone is healthy and happy... except one little detail. It's a BOY! She discovered the false identity about 10 minutes after the birth when the nurse took the baby to do Apgar scores, weight, etc. Everyone (including dr's and nurses) were shocked. They haven't decided on a name yet... but baby boy's room is beautifully decorated with ladybugs and lots of pink accessories. Oh dear :) What a wonderful surprise!

In other news, my boss reprimanded me last week. Which was very appropriate, I took the criticism well... except I needed to apologize to a coworker for overstepping my role, and, well, let's just say if you're holding back tears b/c you had no intention of hurting said coworker's feelings, and you think it might be better to apologize tomorrow (after a good night's rest) it's probably a great idea - I ended up *not* listening to myself, and made a very embarrassing apology (that very same day), complete with silence b/c I was trying to hold back the tears... then I couldn't so I just cried through the apology. How embarrassing. And it's not like the world was ending. I just inadvertently hurt her feelings. Which was not my intention... No one mentioned my cry-spell the next day (how nice of them) but this just reinforces my reputation of being "emotional". Yuck.

My friend and her baby boy are coming over for lunch. I'm so excited to see them. I haven't seen him in about 2 months, which means he's grown leaps and bounds. The house is vacuumed, dishes clean, table washed, food prepared... now I just need to finish this post and jump in the shower :)

and next week (after Easter Sunday) I'm cooking dinner for the sermon discussion group I'm part of. I've thought of a menu easily thrown together the night before *and* immediately before they arrive, as I'll just be getting home from work about 1.5 hours before they arrive. There's a huge part of my heart that wants my home to be a welcoming place people can come and be restored - does that make sense?

Thank you for reading - please stop by for tea, as I'd love the company and... you're always welcome here.
