I’m sure many of you know Miss Shana of Gorillabuns. If not, you are truly missing out. In honor of Shana’s upcoming addition, several of us have decided to throw Shana a virtual baby shower.
I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Shana way before we started writing blogs. (Which means many drunken and humiliating stories.) However, since we are celebrating an innocent BABY’S arrival, I shall pay tribute with some PG13-rated haiku attempts.
Shana Banana
our teeth look very purple
we should lay off wine
Jeff Buckley’s Grace Album
Did we listen to it for
twenty-three hours straight?
Remember Alva?
You were the first one I told
regarding marriage
You were born to film
YouTube tutorials on
sexy red lipstick
How many Cape Cods
have you ingested in your
thirty-something years?
People need to know
your feelings, karaoke
is not a joke, peeps
I have never met
anyone with a bigger
heart than you, Shana
circa a loooong time ago (and a reminder NOT to dye my hair black ever again)
Go give Shana your good wishes! And to read more about her, check out these other lovely blogs:

And you, Whoorl, are quite the fine haikuist. (Ah, I love making up words.)

Black is good on you.

December 1, 2008 at 9:44 amAww! Such a cute shot of you two. (I do believe this is the only time I’ve ever seen you in a patterned shirt!) And your haiku skills are PEERLESS.

December 1, 2008 at 10:14 amGood God! I so don’t remember taking this picture and is my hair black too?
In response to your beautifully and thoughtfully written Haiku:
I haven’t been able to touch red wine since that night we listened to God, I mean Jeff – 23 hours straight.
While I don’t miss driving to and from hell’s half acre, I do miss the wonderful and life-changing conversations pre-kiddos and marriage.
In response to the Cape Cods, enough that I have yet to have a UTI but less than a necrotic liver.
Karaoke – The marriage counselor for my relationship with my husband and quite possibly why there is a 3rd Gorillabun on the way.
and finally, the last statement. I can’t respond to because tears are flowing too heavily.
Thank you for such a beautiful gift and your friendship throughout the years.

You are both scrumptious in that photo, by the way.

December 2, 2008 at 3:16 pmI totally showed up to the shower a day late and possibly drunk. But mostly just late. ; )
