Surprise "virtual" baby shower
You can imagine my surprise when I call in for our weekly team lead meeting yesterday (a few mins late, which I never am, because my access code wasn't working!) to find there are 10 other people on the call ... we only have five team leads, one manager and one director. That equals seven (see, I am good at math ;))! I thought, "Oh no, they brought in other people on the call. Uh oh!". Then I hear my cheerful colleague say WELCOME TO YOUR BABY SHOWER!
The visitors on our call were three of my four team members, complete with two guys. So nice of them, and our male director, to play along!
We were emailed three games and on the honor system had to fill in the answers. (Bonus points if anyone knows which celebrity named their children Petal Blossom Rainbow, Poppy Honey Rosie and Daisy Boo Pamela without looking it up!). We shared some laughs, well wishes and guesses on the baby's gender (we are split on the guess!).
The even more fun part was a few hours later FedEx showed up at the door with a present from my colleagues. How thoughtful! It is so appreciated that although we all work in different locations they made an effort to celebrate the baby's pending arrival. We had four different states and five different cities represented!
Thanks LLS friends for the fun today! And, special thanks to Mel for making it all happen!
Side note: I then wrapped up the day with my second acupuncture appointment. I was able to really get into a zen mode this time since I wasn't so curious about the process and it was awesome! :) Thanks to those of you who urged me to go, you know who you are! ;)
