MAY ALLAH BLESS THE STUSSERS....

This was the sign that was hanging in front of our DEAR AND LOVELY friends Michael and Vanessa Stussers house for the shower. It was made by one of their twins. The shower was a family event...everyone got to take a baby and hang it somewhere HILARIOUS and shocking...
Or have it clutching Vodka bottles etc. So the vibe was GOOD. And it was lovely lovely. The entire thing was so perfect and fun and wonderful--Jeff and I are debilitated with guilt regarding how we could ever thank them properly. Vanessa got some food catered--made some herself. She paid/bribed her kids to take coats at the door and take photographs. It was all pretty incredible. Jeff thought it was the BEST PARTY HE'S EVER BEEN TO. I hope that really puts the pressure on any party planners out there...

Also I think everyone should quickly try to befriend Vanessa....the hostess...


It was like daytime cocktail party--with lots of friends I hadn't seen in a long time and who I love a lot. The whole event was also a huge MOVE BACK TO SEATTLE sales tool.


That lady touching my belly was grabbing my boob moments before. And the hand that is on my chest is my own. To demonstrate where hers just was. I wish i would have taken some photos of Michael and Vanessa's home. It's gorgeous with an amazing view of Seattle.
The bald beauty on the couch is my friend Jena who is in the middle of chemo. She's doing great. When they all decorated onsies for the baby (the idea and gift from the boob grabber-Mary)--Jena drew a little penis on the crotch of the onsie. All the onsies were decorated with messages and pictures may make it difficult to put the baby in without getting in trouble. Or at least judged harshly.

Here are few of the things people wrote on them--

"Be nice to me--my parents are really neurotic and needy'.
"Now that I'm safe--I'm Pro-Choice"
"Vomit Here" (with an arrow)


I think a lot of my friends showed up say they could gloat in my now forever changed life. "ha! ha! Now YOU'll have kids too!" they were tired of me being the free and easy one who did nothing but tour and travel around.

Why are the pictures so small? I wish they were wayyyy bigger like everyone elses BLOGS. Blog envy.

We spent a week in Seattle just walking around and eating....
here are a few shots of Seattle stuff...Seattle has a lot of great found street art--this was from a side of a building that was being torn down. I think. I'm thinking of using her face as an inspiration for the baby's room. Since apparently yellow makes babies cry and psychotic--and that's the color of the baby's room-light yellow-might as well just go for it. We'll put out bowl of peeled grapes for eyeballs and severed arms everywhere--and pay actors to jump out at people when they walk in. So it will be a Halloween Haunted House/Baby's room.
Looking for a 17,000 dollar clock? Then you MUST go do David Weatherford Antiques. I was able to find the cheapest thing he had in the store. And then steal it. I'M KIDDING.

I know it's awkward to put this at the end of the blog....but a

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT..the name--right now-----though we may change it if we see him and he looks different than he FEEEELS--is

LEO BECKETT WEATHERFORD

initials LW...like Lisa and Leslie and I.

Leo after Leo Tolstoy and Beckett after Samuel Beckett. Sounds fairly pompous. But it's where we got the names from and we're digging it. Leo. Leo. Just Leo.

please no lion themed gifts.
