Shower Prep Marathon

Monday was shopping-for-the-shower day.  We bought the food, the decorations, and stuff to make the prizes for the games.  We also made prizes and decorations on Monday.  Tuesday was shower food prep day.  The shower food was build-your-own fruit pizzas and b-y-o veggie pizzas.  At first, it was simpler because I planned to have only the fruit pizzas and made it easy on myself by asking my sisters to bring the fruit, and Brian’s sister, Renee to bring  the fruit pizza spread.  I thought it was a great plan, but Miriam was appalled at such a lame spread.  She insisted that no shower she has ever been to in her life has served such meager fare.  That’s when the veggie pizza idea was born.   So while Miriam was at work,  Katrina and I chopped vegetables, baked cookies and crescent rolls, and mixed ranch cream cheese.  It was exhausting, but we were done by 3:00.
