A Baby Shower
This weekend there were a lot of things going on that I had to choose from. Faerie Festival, a Beltane Ritual up at Highland farms, and a cousin’s baby shower. I chose the baby shower because I know my cousin has been having a hard time and wanted to support her.
I got her some organic baby items that I know she’ll need like powder, diaper ointment, chlorine free diapers, etc. I would have gotten her cloth diapers, but I don’t think she’s the type of person to use them, so I do what I can.
I wrapped her gifts in newspaper and cloth that I had saved from a gift someone gave me for my birthday. One of her friends came up to me and said they were very impressed to see me doing that, compared to all the other gifts that were wrapped in brand new fancy one-time-use wrapping paper. Maybe it’ll make some of them think?
She also loves my music so asked me to play for her shower, which I did. I actually enjoyed it a lot because apparently some of her friends listen to my music myspace quite a bit and know a lot about me, or they talk a lot about me, or something like that.
I also got to meet a cousin who I used to be very close with growing up, but hadn’t seen in 15 years. That was probably the highlight of my day, because I did miss her quite a bit. I talked with her mom about some genealogy stuff and got some more information for my genealogy website.
All in all was a calm family weekend, which is a nice change from how busy I’ve been with rituals, camping, pagan conferences, etc. Even though I have the Grove’s Beltane next weekend -and- a Sweatlodge later this month, -and- other stuff I can’t remember right now.
