Mother's Day is coming up.
Now, it should be all about how great we think our moms' are, and how much we appreciate what they do. At least that is how I think the day should play out but in reality that is not how I approach the day of Mothers'.
Basically, each Mother's Day is a personal challenge on how good a gift I can find for my mom.
I don't like to brag (well maybe a little) but when it comes to my mom, I give some pretty phenomenal presents. Tapestries from Florence, mugs from Ireland, and margarita glasses from Mexico are just a few of my favorite gifts for my mom.
Unfortunately, I am hitting a wall on what to get her this year. From my previously stated presents, one can see that flowers and chocolate wont live up to the standards I set for myself. I usually have had my stroke of brilliance by now and know exactly what I want to get for my mom. I consider her my easiest person to shop for, which is why my lack of ingenious ideas is really irritating me.
I only have a few days left before the big day, perhaps I will just have to postpone giving her the gift until I can do it in person. This will give me both time for genius to strike and a valid excuse for its tardiness...

Tapestries from Florence! Yes! My mom still has hers hanging on the wall. I was just talking about the pottery warehouse (was it in Sorrento?) the other day with someone who had been there! My grandma still uses her salad tongs. Oh, how I miss it!
ReplyDeleteThat was the best day ever! Just the two of us roaming around Florence, and we found that cute little gelato place! :) I miss it and you!
ReplyDeleteYes! The gelato place. I will never eat anything in my life that compares to how heavenly that was. For some reason, I keep meeting folks going to Florence/Capri/etc, and I think it's because God want's to teach me how not to be envious. So far it's been just the opposite :-). I'll be home in a month if you wanna get together sometime!!
