I don't remember which Mother's Day Jamaica celebrates. But since I'm never going to remember when the British one is, I extend wishes to my mother on this one. Not that she's home right now.

I'm glad no one has ever wished me a happy mother's day. It would irritate me. Do they hand out stuff to every man on father's day?

Of course, maybe I'm just bitter because I'm having my Gen X Midlife Crisis.

megan, someone at the book reading last night was actually named Megan Walker. It was confusing.

Maybe it was just me in disguise.

I'm pretty sure no one's ever wished me a happy Mother's Day.

It must be March-ish, because I remember being in London for Spring Break and freaking out that I had forgotten, due to all the signs there.

How panic-inducing! Every year I have a mini-freakout because of my mother's phantom birthday, April 20th. It's what her birth certificate says, so it's lightly lodged in my memory as something to celebrate.

I'm on the cusp between Baby Boomers and Gen X, and I'm not sure when my midlife crisis is supposed to be. Maybe I missed it.

How panic-inducing!

Indeed.

I think I had my midlife crisis when I was 22 and majoring in Actuarial Science. Long story, but I never ended up being an actuary.

I'm just saying, if my aunt gets a mother's day present because she has cats, I should, too! Of course, if she had done that, my eyes would have rolled out of my head.

Ah! I was misreading and wondering why you thought it was so bad that your aunt got a gift from her mom. My parents, when I lived down there, would usually do a small gift for my sister-in-law, my sister and me (because I was an awesome aunt) and I always thought it was sweet that they didn't want to exclude me.

I need food. Brain fail.
