During August, as I enjoy some travel time, I’m sharing some of my favorite and your favorite posts from the past year. I’ll look forward to seeing you again in September. ~Lisa

After telling a friend recently that I haven’t had an invitation to a baby shower in years, guess what popped into my inbox last week?
But here’s the kicker: the invitation is from someone I don’t know who’s throwing a shower for someone else I don’t know, who happens to be expecting twins.
I scratched my head for a while wondering how to handle this. Should I point out I know neither the hostess nor the mother-to-be or should I just show up bearing gifts? (Okay, I was kidding about the latter.)
I guess this is the Universe’s strange idea of a practical once, and for once, I’m actually laughing.
It’s Whiny Wednesday. What strange, ironic, or downright annoying things are going on in your Universe right now?
Facebook has some new feature where they add posts (ie ads) to my page that they’ve determined would be of interest of me. I’m getting reminders about back to school, parenting tips, recommendations for baby products, etc. A good reminder for why we don’t want that kind of marketing/advertising here. Blech!
