My Best Friend in the Whole Wide World and Mother's Day Prep

So, I am incredibly thrilled that my very best friend Emily got to come up and see me last night after work! We went to the Mall of America and got some dinner, and then bought her a graduation dress and jewelry. As she says, its so Jackie O. Then we came back to my apartment and watched One Tree Hill of course! Ate popcorn, etc. It was a pretty low key night but so so fun. She had to leave early this morning which is always sad but I'm just glad she got to come visit me! Plus I don't think she slept very well, lol.

Ok, let me vent here for a second....what is it with card shops!? I was in Hallmark yesterday picking out Mother's Day cards and they have cards for that category all the way to the back wall! Categories include: Mother-In-Law, Single Mother, Mother who is a Friend, Grand and Great Grand Mother, For my Wife, From Both of Us, the list goes on and on. And then of course within the categories there are so many different options to choose from...do I get the flashy, fun card, or the sincere, gooshy card? Do I get the $2 card or the $7 card (which by the way, I am appaled that they could even charge $7 for a card)? And then it gets more complicated when you have to get more than one. Do I buy the 6 pack of generic Mother's Day cards? Of course not! Especially when the women you are giving them to will likely be opening them together. Needless to say, after awhile in the store, picking cards up and putting them back, I finally found the right ones. I won't tell you what I picked just yet, but I think I did pretty good.

Until next time,
