Take a hint people!

Why do people complicate things??? One of my co-workers is having a little girl in June so we decided to have a little shower for her. Just us--we pitched in and got a really nice gift plus each one of us ladies (for some reason the guys opted out of this) decided to "make" gifts also. Mine is a 6X6 scrapbook album ready for pictures. Anyway, we had it all planned out, then someone at the hospital got wind of it and decided that they would hijack our shower. Now "they" are planning a full blown shower at the classroom with all her family and friends invited (who have given her two showers already) and say they won't do it unless we combine the showers and we attend theirs. NO, I don't want to spend MY time sitting there with a bunch of people I 1. don't know, or 2. don't want to know, or 3. just don't like that well. We just want to get together after work, give her her gifts, maybe eat a little and go on our way. She understands this, because she is just like us and wants that too. We had to talk her into our little shindig because she does not want anyone at work to do a shower. She feels that she and her husband can afford what they need and want for the baby so there is no need for anyone to do anything for them. Oh, did I mention that they want it to be a "surprise"? She's gonna be so pissed!!!
