The New Baby shower

So the other day, I get an invitation to a baby shower from a woman I barely know. Okay, so she works with my husband, but although he's also invited, he'll be out of town. So not only do I hardly know her, she's on the rebound from a divorce and isn't even married again.

So I go to get a gift and I'm depressed already. She knows she's having a boy. It's just not as much fun to shop for as a girl, the selection is horrible. I know it's politically incorrect to say, but that's totally how I felt. I bought something perfunctory and left, it occurred to me -- am I the only one who's ever felt like that? Just a thought.
