Last night was Laura's bridal shower and bachellorette party, and I think was a lot of fun. Everyone did a lovely job, and we all shared the work and ate lots and lots of cake. If you're in North Central Ohio, Gibson's in Oberlin makes a mean white cake with a raspberry filling.

It was a good night, and Laura made an excellent bachellorette, and I think she and Andy will have a good time together, at least they will once their housemates leave. She's also incredibly low maintenance and doesn't seem neurotic or picky at all about her wedding or shower or anything of that nature, despite the fact that she's told us a few times that she's going to be a crazy control freak. I certainly haven't seen it yet!

One word of advice though: avoid shooters. They're higher alcohol content than you would expect, but not high ENOUGH to be "good" and will leave you with a headache like you wouldn't believe. It was almost a schnapps headache, but without the nausea. Maybe it's the food coloring, or the preservatives? Ugh.

And now I am going to drink coffee, watch Mythbusters and Knitty Gritty, knit on my sweater and wonder why my hair doesn't look like Nicole Kidman's in "Bewitched."
