GAH!

I just realized that we are quickly approaching July, and I have not figured out the baby shower thing! Here will be difficult (between disabled mother, insane dogs, and two very shedding cats). Plus I just have a fair amount of house stuff that NEEDS to be done, before I am comfortable having any sort of gathering here (I do see those in the future though)!
eclypsia offered up her place a long time ago. I appreciate the offer no end, but I know that I certainly don't want to put her through hosting a party that isn't for her (that just seems rude to me)!

Should I have it somewhere public? Should I have one at all? I dunno. Any ideas out there?
