How to throw a proper pity party...

No doubt about it, I've had a nasty case of the Pregnancy Blues the past week or so. Therefore, the other night I gave myself permission to spoil myself a little bit. I went to Albertsons to get something yummy and found a delicious piece of 5 layer decadent chocolate cake at the bakery. YUM! Then I spotted a sale on some flowers! Nothing cheers me up than than flowers, so I grabbed a few and headed toward the checkout. As I was standing in line I admit, I felt a little bit guilty. A piece of cake and a bouquet of flowers weren't exactly worked into our budget for this month. So as I was trying to come up with reasons to justify my splurge the man behind me in line said "You shouldn't be buying those flowers". I was shocked and confused but he continued on to say "Someone should be buying flowers for YOU." Slightly embarrassed, I let him know that they were, in fact for me. And then he looked shocked and thought for a second and said, "Well, good for you! It's nice of you to treat yourself and you look like you deserve it!" I thought it was so nice! And after that I thought, YEAH! I'm growing a whole 'nother person, the least I deserve is flowers and a piece of cake. So I didn't let myself feel guilty any longer and as I left he yelled out, "Enjoy those flowers!" I believe me, I AM! :)

So now the flowers are sitting in a vase on my dining room table looking gorgeous and putting a smile on my face everytime I see them. As for the piece of cake, the poor thing didn't have time for a picture before I devoured it. I kick myself, cuz this was a beautiful piece of cake! Enough to make anyone's mouth water. The rest of that night I sat and watched movies and read magazines that my dear friend Whitney had brought me. Isn't this a wonderful sight?

So three things that are crucial in throwing a proper pity party are: Chocolate, Flowers & Magazines. And if it weren't for the fact that it's summertime and I'm pregnant, a warm bubble bath would have just send it over the top.
