Pregnancy (and iced tea) for Dummies

Thursday, May 25:

My newly pregnant friend comes to my rescue this afternoon.

"Happy Birthday!" she says, holding a giant gift bag.

Uh-oh. My birthday is about a half a year away.

"I just had to say happy birthday because this is a birthday bag," she explains.

She has given me her unused iced tea maker! It's the same kind as my old one, except much newer, so of course I couldn't find a replacement, duh. The setup has completely changed. Ain't she sweet?

Now I can go back to having unsweetened herbal tea in the fridge.

Also in the birthday gift bag are books, including "Pregnancy for Dummies."
