Baby shower planning

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Baby shower is an event or a celebration which is hosted when the due date is approaching. It is a celebration to welcome the child’s impending birth and mother and baby are showered with blessings and love, hence the name ‘baby shower’.

There has to be a central theme for the whole event. Baby shower decorations have to revolve around that theme and items that can be chosen for decorations should also be useful for the mother later. Bottles, booties, clothes, diapers, pacifiers can all be used for decorating and which later be given as gifts to the mother.

One very creative way to hand over gifts is to make a diaper cake and it can serve as a central piece in the baby shower decorations. Though, they are available in the market, diaper cakes are easy to make at home and can look very creative and innovative. Diaper cakes are made of diapers arranged in tier forms that resemble a cake. Stuffed toys, bottles, blankets or many such beautiful new born accessories can be hid inside the diaper cakes which everyone will love.

After the party, baby shower favors can be given to guests who will be delighted to receive them. Personalized shower gels, key chains, creams, soaps, cookie mix, scented candles in shape of baby bottles can all be given as baby shower favors.

Ogunquit Hotels

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

I have been looking at Ogunquit hotels on the internet lately. My daughter is going there for a while to stay with friends while she is doing some work experience and I am hoping that I can go and visit her at least once while she is out there. They are great people and I am sure that they will look after her well and the work placement that she has seems excellent.

However, I want to make sure that she is okay and I will also miss her, hence the fact that I am already looking at Ogunquit ME hotels before she has even left! I have talked to her about me visiting and I think she is okay with the idea! She does want to be independent and use the opportunity to find her feet on her own but I am sure that she will benefit from a hug from her Mum from time to time! There are some Ogunquit motels quite near and so I might book one of those for 6 weeks into her work placement. This will have given her time to settle down but also time to miss me!

Driving License Suspension

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

My friend has been telling me that he has managed to get a really good Massachusetts DUI Attorney. He has been having some problems and unfortunately was caught driving under the influence and had his licence removed. He was very upset about this but understood that he broke the law and so it was fair enough that he was punished in this way. The problem is that he cannot get to work without being able to drive and this means that he will lose his job. He is using the attorney to try to get him a hardship license so that he will be allowed to drive just to get him to work and back home again. This will help him to continue life pretty much as normal and hopefully get over his problems. He tends to drink when he is not working as he dwells on his problems, having nothing else to think about. I am so glad that he will be able to work and then he should hopefully begin to feel more positive about things and stop drinking so much. I try to be with him as much as I can when he is not at work so that he does not get depressed and he does seem to have found the withdrawal of his licence as a sign that he needs to pull himself together a bit.

Can someone translate those russian word for me???…thank you!!

Someone dear to my heart wrote that to me yesterday without telling me what it meant: vsaw panotna do zaftra miya deyvachka.

It’s “??? ???????.. ?? ??????, ??? ???????” -

“All right, see you tomorrow my darling”

P.S. “I checked four online translators”
You can _not_ use online translators when the text is _not_ in Russian (Cyrillic) alphabet as in this case -
“transliteration” was used - that is, Latin letters were used instead of Cyrillic.
Translators expect real Russian text - written using national alphabet - Cyrillic letters - and not English letters

There was a civilization more advanced than us before the great flood? What if the dinosaurs were too huge to fit inside the ark that they were left out?

What if the flood tale was written by superstitious, goat-herding primitives, but a few thousand years later the inhabitants of an advanced civilization still took it at face value? Wouldn’t that be funny?

It was so advanced, it left exactly zero evidence.
