A glorious grand opening.
I take back every bad thing I ever said about Babies R Us. Today I went to the grand opening of a new store near us (in Colma), and a brand spanking new Babies R Us is a beautiful thing. Everything was so well stocked, and all the display models of everything were pristine. Plus, all the employees were super friendly and helpful since it was opening day. Now that I have this one so close, I can go there for anything I need without having to go to that ghetto one in Redwood City ever again. I was so smitten by the store that I wanted to delete my Target registry and start anew at BRU. I think it’s a little late for that though.
My venture to the baby superstore was only shadowed by the fact that my pants kept falling down. Seriously, it was a good thing that my shirt was so long or else I would have been in danger of mooning people behind me. I’m finding it harder and harder to dress myself as my belly grows bigger. The rounder it gets the more I like it, but getting pants to stay up when you have a spherical midsection is proving to be difficult. It can only get worse as the baby (and I) keep packing on the pounds.
Tomorrow is Matt’s birthday, and we are going out on some adventure to celebrate, though we don’t know exactly what we will do yet. It will probably involve a museum and some lunch. We got the party started tonight with his birthday cake that I made a day early. It needs a more clever name, but it is called Lemon Apricot Coconut Cake. I had never made it before, but it turned out to be pretty good. Anyway, I’d better hit the sack in preparation for our big day tomorrow.
