I feel better today than I did the other day, definitely. My cousin's shower wasn't as awful as I had invisioned. (most things aren't) I was actually getting defensive of her a lot while we were there. Do people who have only met the bride one time (and in one case NEVER) normally come to HER bridal shower? They were friends of the mother of the groom. I thought this was for the bride, not the mother of the groom. Anyway these women thought it was funny that they knew so very little about my cousin. (lucky me I was sitting at the same table as them) I thought it was inappropriate, to say the least. After getting over feeling sorry for myself, I'm actually, dare I say it, happy for my cousin. It was one of the first times I've been able to see my cousin in a different light. Is it only around our family that she is such a downer? With these people she was lighthearted, smiling and laughing. What a difference a few days can make in one's opinion of another. The groom's mother did a great job with the decorations. She even made some of the candy herself. (which I'm still not sure if I liked or not... I'm not even sure what was in the truffle) God knows, my cousin's mother didn't contribute. Hopefully they got a lot of things they needed and make good use of all that cookware.
In other news... I am a mommy... ish... maybe I'm a grandmommy? I went to check on my parakeets today (she's been sitting on eggs for about two weeks) and there was a teeny tiny, featherless baby with Gollum. (the mommy) It was making tiny chirp chirpings. I was actually shocked to see it despite the fact that I knew she was sitting on five eggs. The last set of eggs Gollum had didn't hatch. The first egg got within three days of hatching and she just stopped sitting on them. When I found them, they were dead and cold. Plus, I wasn't completely sure these were fertile. I wasn't expecting her to lay anymore eggs till next spring at the earliest. I figured I'd just wait her out and when she stopped laying on them I would just take them out. (pressuming the weren't fertile) I can already tell what color he/she will be as mom and dad are both typical blue. Let's just hope Gollum continues taking care of them now that they're starting to hatch. I need to start doing research just in case she doesn't.

Yeah on the baby parakeet. Mom's going to need extra calicum. Feeding her hard cooked egg inckuding the shell will help with that. I love little baby birds....even if they do look like space aliens :)
Wow, I never knew anyone to have parakeet eggs hatch! Good for you!!! That is so cool.

Congratulations on the new additions. How adorable they must be. My grandmother used to raise the small breed parakeets. I don't remember anything about what she used to do to be able to help hon. I think the women the brides future MIL invited along where quite rude. (Hugs) Indigo
