I had a blast this weekend with Mary-Mia, Lisa, and Gen during my big weekend getaway escape from the husband and kids. It was a major production as we got to the restaurant at 6:00 and didn't leave until 10:00. I was thinking the four of us were just like the Sex And The City gals. Hmmmm, I wonder who is Samantha?
That was the longest dinner I had in a long time. We exchanged some baby gifts. Mary-Mia has some great pictures on her website. The waiters sang "Happy Adoption Day" to us (to the tune of happy birthday), and Lisa got so excited she broke her glass, smashing it on the table. (or was it the wine?) Notice the bits of glass and the tablecloth covering it beneath her. Well, they are kind of hard to see, but believe me..they are there. We almost all went home with small glass shards in our hands.
Moms Gone Wild, huh, Lisa? I guess we found our Samantha. (Ha Ha...you're welcome Lisa!)
Afterwards, Gen and I went back to my hotel lobby to wait for her ride. Gen ordered a glass of Chardonnay, and the waitress looks at this huge Baby bag sitting in front of her that I gave her with a gift in it and said, "Are you guys coming from a Baby Shower?"
Or basically, "Should you be ordering wine?"
Hysterical.
Then we explained that we were adopting from China, and she was stuttering....., "oh, oh, well, when do you get them? Are they newborn? When do you pick them up?"
You could cut the tension with a knife. It was funny because you could tell she didn't know anything about adoption and was trying to make conversation.
Thank you guys for a great night!

Ha! I had totally forgotten about that hilarious "Happy Adoption Day" song they sang. (Hm, perhaps I had a smidge more more wine than I remember...) What a fun night!!!
Wish I could have been there!! Next time, definitely!!
Lisa breaking a wine glass at dinner? That is so typical(especially after a couple of glasses!) Let's just say, being identical twins, neither one of us inherited the graceful gene in the family! Sounds like a good time was had by all.
Nice picture, thanks Jen! I break things all the time, wine or not...
I had fun, too!
Lisa
