Stay, Beautiful Baby



One of the girls I've come to know through the bank, Rachael, had her baby shower today, so I attended that this afternoon with a supervisor, and two other coworkers. It was crazy to think that less than a year ago, this girl was celebrating graduating high school... and now she's due in the next couple weeks with a baby.

Obviously the pregnancy was accidental, but as the time draws nearer you can just see how loved this baby will be. Which is beautiful and touching and lovely to see... and I am so proud of her for making the best out of a difficult situation and trying to create the best life she can for her soon to be son. And if he turns out to be half as adorable as she is...

But since Sundays are my day off, I couldn't let the baby shower be the only activity on my social schedule. I headed off to spend more time with Rory (See? We CAN be friends!) at Dave & Busters. We sat there for the longest time just talking... and I learned more about him then I ever expected to learn so soon. I just wish more people could see the boy I see in front of me. And that... makes me sad. People don't give other people enough of a chance. There's so much beauty inside of some people, that others refuse to take the time to see. And there's so much beauty inside of Rory.

Finally, no Sunday would be complete without Momma Janita time. Only one more Brothers & Sisters left before they run out like every other show I watch has... but with the writer's strike almost (officially) over, I'm looking forward to what the writers will be throwing together. Even if it takes til mid-to-end of April for actual episodes to appear on my television.
