I'm thinking of adopting a bat for each of my parents for Mother's and Father's Day: [link]
Dad will appreciate it more, but mom'll get a kick out of it anyway. She too likes bats.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh crap - I've been so busy dropping hints to DH about Mother's Day for ME (if I don't, he'll forget to make brunch reservations and then we won't get a table anywhere) that I forgot to get MY mom anything!! Heh. Oops.

I saw a darling Publix commercial tonight of dads and sons cooking together, and I only figured out at the end they were making Mother's Day breakfasts in bed. I need to find it online and email the link to mr. flea. Man needs explicit directions.

The new BEP! Or a donation in her name? Otherwise, flowers.
Har. I usually do flowers, but I was thinking perfume this year, or maybe a copy of Strong Poison plus something else.

My mom will be out of town on Mother's Day. I think she did the same thing last year. Hm.

OK, so I just adopted a bat named Mister Kitty for my mom. Heh.

Those salad tongs are too cute! Too bad I already have 4 sets of salad tongs I almost never use.

I do not see how that cat is comfortable at all.
It's a kitten. They sleep wherever and however. The late Thimble, as a kitten, used to fall asleep half hanging off the wood stove. She fell off onto the bricks several times, bouncing off a ledge by the doors (only 3 feet or so) and didn't wake up until later.

I wonder if it would be inappropriate to buy my mother Strong Poison and The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels for Mother's Day.

Happy Kodomo no Hi! We put a koi up for Noah and another for Grace a few nights ago. We even measured Noah's height on the chart.
For dinner: Pizza with roasted asparagus and pepperoni (herb crust!) and an iced tea.
Life is GOOOOOOOOOOD.
