baby's butt

scott's board meeting was last night - hoorah!  he left the office when the meeting started at 4, and was on his way out the door to meet our friend zack for poker when i got home.  and yes, that's fine by me - he's been working hard and deserves the time out with friends.

anyway, my good friend jami's baby shower is this weekend, but since we have no mutual friends, i had to go baby shower present shopping by myself and had been putting it off.  since i had no excuses last night, i finally decided to brave babies r us by myself for the first time ever to find her a present.  she has, i kid you not, a 12 page registry, so it took a while to wade through the options, but finally i came up with this: pack of diapers, tube of boudreax's butt cream, and a pack of wipes.  i still had a few dollars left to spend and was trying to come up with something else to go with my theme of "everything for baby's butt" - tried to find some cute onesies (you know, to cover the butt), but didn't love any of the options, looked through the registry list again ... and found a listing for a baby rectal thermometer.  bingo!  (get it?  baby's butt, rectal thermometer?  i crack myself up.)  i actually called scott at his poker game to see if he thought that was too over the top, but he thought it was hilarious.  sadly, babies r us was out of rectal thermometers, so i ended up just getting another tube of butt cream and a pack of diaper pail deodorizers.  i might run to target tonight to see if they have one, though.

and then i came home and watched three episodes of gilmore girls and ate girlscout cookies.  i highly recommend the lemon chalets.
