I Can Handle It
I have been M.I.A. over the last several days. Not sure what my problem has been, I just haven't felt well, and I have been doing all sorts of school work so I can go on Spring Break. Yeah, I know, gag I get a spring break. But if it makes you feel better I am going to be working on my writing requirement and my bar application during the break. I wish my writing requirement was as much fun as writing on this blog, but I am writing it through a class on International Trade Regulations. The paper is addressing, China, Religion, the Olympics and International Human Rights all in one. Woo hoo Spring Break 2008!
Well, actually I am going to have a little fun, I have a bachelorette party this weekend. Another soldier has bit the dust, gone to the other side, well whatever you want to call it. Another friend is getting married. Let me say I was invited to ten weddings last year, this year I have only received four invitations. I can pretty much recite 1 Corinthians 13. But anyway I am excited I will get to see all my friends from college this weekend, and I am sure there will be some stories from this experience.
But we are having a lingerie shower this weekend. (I was going to discuss Easter in this blog, but I will do that later.) I think lingerie showers are extremely awkward. This past fall some people in law school had a lingerie shower for a girl in our class. After it was over she and I were talking and she said "I really appreciate everything, but it will be awkward to wear it." And I said "Why?" and she said "because I will be thinking about who gave this to me." After thinking on this, she has a point.
I do not want anyone to give me a lingerie shower. I don't want anyone to know what I am wearing on my honeymoon. How weird is that? Seriously. Just take a second and think about this. I have to admit I never buy lingerie for anyone, I always take a Barry White CD, or actually now I have started taking an Al Green CD (my music taste has evolved). Actually this gift has evolved into a bag with toe nail polish, razors, shaving cream, lotion, and Big Red, plus the CD, and whatever else I might throw in there. I just can't bring myself to go and buy lingerie or whatever for anyone.
Now you might call my attitude jealousy, but I like to think of it as privacy. Don't worry, I am going to fulfill my friendly duty and show up and be supportive. But please, if I ever join the other side, don't throw me a lingerie shower. Just let me handle that!
