| More stinginess and bah humbugs! |

A past co-worker just gave birth...to a big, hairy baby!! Okay, the baby was cute for a newborn. She had lots of hair and weighed in at 8 lbs and 15 oz. I still don't want to imagine what giving birth would be like; it makes me want to cross my legs. Anyway, the stingy part...a co-worker wanted the five of us to chip in for a gift. She had suggested flowers, but then the conversation went to...well, how about something more long lasting? And the only thing suitable was cash. I know it's something she'd really appreciate. So we all chipped in $20 each. I guess I don't really mind that much, but I hardly talk to this girl any more...not $20 talking anyway :P And my work is having the Kids' Christmas party on the 19th. It is to start at 9:30 in the morning, and it will be the day after my birthday shindig. It will be a very late night of the 18th, I believe!! So...um. The thought of helping out with this little party is not so appealing. We'll see. |

Don't you love how those of us who are not "Christian" get sucked into the "christian vortex" during December????

Awww, but when you see your OWN baby, its all worth it, lol. As for giving, I would not give if I did not feel I wanted too. I agree, $20.00 is quite a bit for someone you rarely even socialize with. A card would have been just fine.

I have no idea when I am going to have babies. But when I do, I know they'll be perfect!! ;-)
