Q: Surprise!

I'm at work and I went downstairs to pull some paperwork from a file and my boss comes running down and he's all serious like and says "Chrissy! You are suposed to be in a meeting right now." So I'm like, "what meeting, you never told me about a meeting" He's rushing me along and I'm fuming mad at him for not telling me and trying to figure out what I'm going to be talking about in this meeting and if I was supposed to have something ready to present or whatever, and so we walk into the conference room and.....

all the office girls scream "Surprise!" It was a baby shower....for me! I wondered why I was the only girl answering phones for the last 2 hours and the only one doing anything. I couldn't find anyone I needed or anything, and I'm so blonde that it didn't occur to me that maybe they were getting ready for something like that. haha!

It was nice, they had fresh flower pots all around for me, lunch, cake, punch. One girl made little carriges out of yarn and that plastic material you sew together, filled with mints. Another girl made teddy bear shaped suckers. Another person made a huge banner that was sooo cute! I got alot of gifts for the baby and big things like a stroller, car seat, breast pump, a scrapbook, clothes, etc. I'm just so flabergasted that they went out and did all that, and somehow kept me in the dark all week with what was going on! Just goes to show how busy I am here at work, I guess!

yea it was fun! I'm still mad at my boss though, lol. I was scared that I was supposed to have something prepared for this meeting and had no clue what I was walking into. It is just funny now.
