My sister was kind enough to host a bridal shower for me. She told me to invite some friends and I invited some of my friends from school. Initially, I wondered who I should've invited. I always felt like me and females didn't get along very well. Some females are very nasty -- they talk shit behind your back and such and some are just very hormonal, which I can't stand.
Anyhoo, the ladies I invited were the ladies who were close to me during the past two years. They were there for me to give me support and to listen to me bitch about school. I think going through the whole nursing school experience for two years made us bond in a way -- kind of like a sisterhood type of thing.
And I also invited my old boss, Anne. I've known Anne for a LONG time! Golly. I think 10 years now. I worked for her and her business partner (Michael) for a long time too. ha ha. Working for them is like being in a black hole -- no matter what happens, I keep going back to them to help them out. I need to cut my umbilical cord with them but somehow, I can't. I love working for them.
Okay, going back to the Sunday Brunch......
My sister, my mom, my sister in law, a gf of ours and I all drove together. When we went up the escalators of the Hyatt hotel to go to the restaurant, we saw a few ladies who were already waiting for us. And I thought, wow, these ladies are here for me? We got seated and then one by one, the ladies started to make their way there. The brunch was buffet style, so the ladies ate their hearts out. I didn't do it so much because....I ate right before I left. Shhhh!!! Mr. JB and I took our babies to Fort Funston right before and stopped at Noah's Bagels to grab some bagels. If I didn't eat, I would be too cranky. I had to. But no one knew. =) But of course I felt bad because my sister paid for all of us to pig out. =/
Then, game time. My sister had three games -- how well do you know the bride, the first person to give me these 5 items (mascara, something blue, ), words scramble. My cousin Mi Mi won the "how well do you know the bride", my classmate Adrienne was able to give us 5 items and I'm not sure who won the words scramble.
Then gift time. I got some really cool stuff: KITCHEN AID MIXER (Yes!! I can make cupcakes now!!!!), frozen yogurt mixer, a few VS / Fredrick of Hollywood lingeries, a cookbook, an apron, and measuring cups, VS perfume/lotion set, photo albumns, a memory book, candle holders, a picture frame, and gift cards to Target and Bed Bath and Beyond. And I got some moola too. ;)
THANK YOU LADIES from the bottom of my heart for spending the day with me! And thank you for being in my life as well.
And special heartfelt THANK YOU to my sister, who paid for everything! Eekk!! And she gave out "two peas in pod" salt and pepper shaker too. Sigh..what a good sister I have. ha ha.
