Sometimes I feel like, as a woman, drama is something that I just have to deal with, no matter what. In my years on this earth I've learned that no matter what the situation, no matter who the players, drama is just going to find a way to slip into just about any situation and make it, well, dramatic. Never fails, trust me. It doesn't matter if something has been planned so meticulously that there is a 99% chance it will go off without a hitch, that 1% will find a way to produce at least some drama.

With that said, there are a few times, very few and far between, where, for some reason, everything just sort of works out drama free. When this occurs it's the most shocking thing in the world. You can't really enjoy it, though, because the entire time you expect it to fall apart. It's not until afterwards where you can bask in the beautiful, drama-free experience that just occurred.

For example, a few weeks ago I was put in charge of finding some baby shower favors for my friends' upcoming baby shower. Personally, I hate being put in charge of getting stuff for other people's parties because, like clockwork, something always happens to make the process that much harder. Typically it happens like this: about halfway through my search friend either changes her mind or decides that her original idea needs expanding on. This usually leads to either more work on my end or some hurt feelings.

So when I was able to track down and purchase baby shower favors quickly and get instant approval from my friend about what I was about to purchase, you can believe that I was still mildly skeptical. I assume it's like how Chicago Cubs fans feel when their team is going to the playoffs. You want to believe that everything is going to go ok, but frankly you fee l in your heart of hearts that it's all going to fall apart.

So it wasn't until after the baby shower that I finally felt secure that the favors I picked out would work. They did, everyone loved them, especially my friend. She loves owls so I was able to track down some awesome owl themed favors which were met by oooo's and awes during the event. When I got into bed that night and thought back I realized I did the impossible: I got through an event without drama. If I could bottle and sell that feeling I would.
