Today I am proud to be part of an Interwebs baby shower for one of my favorite people in this here Websphere: Gorillabuns. Despite the pen name she’s adopted, I have seen no signs of gargantuan, hairy primates in her family. Then again, the baby has yet to arrive. Fingers crossed, people.
I’ve only met the fair goddess once, at BlogHer ‘07 in Chicago, where many a glass of wine was imbibed and one was broken on my leg in mega-party foul fashion, but it was time enough to know that Buns is an absolute keeper. We’ve kept in touch via regular emails about blogging, the size of our asses, and plans to drink large amounts of vodka once the baby arrives and can drink Coke on it’s own like most normal people.
Buns is a warm, supportive, hilarious woman any of us would be lucky to call a friend, even if forced to move to the sweltering epicenter of Oklahoma she calls home. I’m proud to know her and can’t wait to accost her and her beautiful hair again sometime soon.
I hope you’ll join me in raising a glass of Similac to toast the upcoming arrival of her third child, who will hopefully be named after me or one of my cats, even if “Wino” did catch me hell on the playground. If s/he’s anything like her mother, the world will be most lucky to have her/him/it.

What? I think that picture looks totally real! Happy Baby-havin’ Shana!
Congrats, Shana! Here’s to a (mostly) hair-free baby :)
My Similac is raised! Thanks for joining in on the fun. :)
Hey! I thought she was naming the baby after ME?
;-)
Cheers to Shana, Baby Buns #3, bloggers and friendship.
Hurray for Shana. And, I have it on good authority that she’s naming her baby after MY cat.
Cheers to Shana Banana!
I’m really more of am Enfamil gal, but my glass is raised to Shana all the same! :)
I’m so glad you didn’t mention my love of stalkers and serial killers. I’d hate for anyone to think I’m slightly off.
I can’t wait to disregard the Similac and move onto the wine and/or vodka as I would totally have your back again in any wine glass mishap. Hell, for you, I would totally take the fall.
Thank you again for the wonderful words and the beautiful gift. You my dear will be receiving the adoption papers in the mail.
BTW: My pen name is proof positive that one should NEVER make rash decisions while drinking. Though, I do have to say, my kids do have quite a bit of hair on their backs. Still.
Cheers to Shana! But someone else will have to drink this glass of Similac for me.
New realization: photoshopped pictures are the best kind of pictures. Hurrah! for Shana, and for awesome friends.
That’s a great idea! I’ll raise a glass of Similac, too!!
(This is so much fun!! :)
When did you get such mad photoshop skillz?
You should be teaching a class at the community college. You’re that good.
“him/her/it”
I’m voting for “it”, just to keep things interesting.
I hope she names the baby Wino Whiskeymarie or Wino Ginsoakedbruce. With a name like that, that kid’ll be tough as nails by the time they turn 10 and taking over the world by 18.
