after staying up late last night playing halo reach on xbox live, i woke up kind of late this morning at 9:30. boyfriend was in the basement playing starcraft 2 because he got up much earlier than me. that was fine for a while. i packaged up the baby shower gift and played online for a while. it started getting later, so i took a shower and finished getting ready to leave at 11am. boyfriend still hadn't come upstairs yet. finally, with five minutes left he came up. of course i was a little upset that he stayed down there for two hours without even saying good morning. he tried to placate me but i was having none of it. i will be glad when he finishes that game!
so the shower was a typical baby shower, only with more guests than usual. i found some of boyfriend's family to sit with, so at least i wasn't by myself. there was a mountain of gifts to open and it took a hour and a half! at least my quilt went over well, and everyone oooohed and aaahhhhed over it, which was nice. i was glad to leave however. there will be another one to go to in two months for his family.
after that, i took a drive to salem willows. it was very cold and windy, and i was wearing a dress and a thin coat. silly me! but i got to see the ocean for the first time since the summer so that was good. i miss the sound of the ocean. i took some photos, then got back in the car half frozen. then i drove down to winter island and took some more photos, although i didn't get out of the car this time. it was relaxing to enjoy some of the places i used to visit often when i lived nearby.
i visited with my mother for the rest of the day. we made a tasty roast pork and homemade applesauce, with mashed potatoes and roasted butternut squash. she was also making homemade chili and beef stew for the week so the house smelled wonderful! we chatted for a while, took down the christmas tree decorations and decided to send out a facebook invite for a game night in a couple weeks.
