Instead of Sunday afternoon being a leisurely family day, I spent my afternoon sipping wine at the Silicon Valley Mom's Blog party sponsored by Graco. Don't I look like I'm really listening in that photo.
Honestly, the party was a blast. I drank three glasses of cool white wine, pool side at the Four Seasons. Enough to be able to soldier through a kid party at Chuck E Cheese's afterwards but not so much to where I couldn't drive. Finding the perfect wine-sober ratio isn't always an easy feat. But yesterday the stars aligned and I was good. real good.
Favorites from the evening:
- Getting my hands massaged in the best smelling lotion from the Four Seasons. I could have drank the lotion; it smelled. that. good.
- Laughing incredibly hard with Kimberly when three ladies came out in their bathing suits. We thought they were with us and that there would be shedding of clothes and a new mommy-bonding experience of showing our stretch marks and sagging bosoms. Yeah, they weren't with us. But the belly laugh has bonded us anyways.
- Graco making a swing that plays tunes from your i-pod. Not that I have an i-pod or a baby. But still. Way cool idea.
- Mary Tsao complimenting my hair and my new shoes. When a mommy-fashion icon compliments you, well, lets just say my ego swelled just enough to make me feel great and not so much that I couldn't fit my head in the door.
- Finally getting to pay Glennia back for buying me booze at our last get-together.
