A college diploma.

5/9/2010 12:09:30 AM

I actually forgot about this until last night

I ordered her two books I thought she'd enjoy and a pound of coffee from Amazon. It'll get there late but I said Happy Mother's Day to her today and told her to expect the package.

5/9/2010 12:10:48 AM

I bought her a nice bundle of flowers, I came to visit, I gave her lots of hugs, and I'm providing her as much support as I can even though family drama is once again overshadowing this family experience.

5/9/2010 1:18:31 AM

I swear, I wouldn't even know it was Mother's Day if not for TWW

thanks, people

5/9/2010 1:21:07 AM

I'm kinda broke so I got her a card with a heartfelt note written in it, and my sister and I bought her "Its Complicated" on DVD.
+1 for the college diploma

5/9/2010 1:25:23 AM

my presence

5/9/2010 1:25:47 AM

ME TOO

And a card.

5/9/2010 1:27:32 AM

Also, if you're actually going to go visit your mom, just stop by a legit florist and buy some flowers. I'm amazed by the quality and selection of flowers I got for very little money compared to what you'd be able to get from the interwebs (not counting delivery charges I mean). Your moms probably have a billion vases from past events anyway!

i'm starting training for a 1/2 marathon with the leukemia and lymphoma society to raise money for cancer research and patient financial aid. running in memory of my mommy. race isn't until september but training started this weekend just in time for mother's day.

5/9/2010 1:54:22 AM

^that's really sweet

5/9/2010 2:05:38 AM

I got her a card and a bag of peppermint patties, because she loves them and hates me for giving them to her.

5/9/2010 2:07:58 AM

haha - it seems like all moms love peppermint patties.

5/9/2010 2:10:38 AM

What's not to love about them?

5/9/2010 2:13:36 AM

i know i love them too. peppermint patties just remind me of moms. i feel like i always see moms eating them and it was something my mom would give me like out of her purse when i was little (prob to shut me up hah).

5/9/2010 2:15:38 AM

my mom is not a fan of peppermint patties

5/9/2010 10:38:50 AM

mama said she's just glad i'm here because she needed to see me before she went out of town for two weeks. and she made me french toast and we're going to watch face the nation. i think that is a good present so far.

5/9/2010 10:40:25 AM

i played 2pac-Dear Mama to her on the phone

5/9/2010 10:48:02 AM

Nothing.......but I sure as shit know what I got your mom

I mailed my mom a card and I might get to see her & my grandma for my mom's birthday in a few weeks

5/9/2010 11:15:08 AM

despite my mom being a complete and total bitch, i:

1) drove down to wilmington this weekend to see her instead of doing hood rat stuff with my friends
2) made her an epic breakfast this morning
3) contributed to this really expensive ring my sisters and i got her

now i'm trying to figure out how i can leave without looking like a dick

5/9/2010 11:18:16 AM

i need to call my grandmothers, i forgot about them.

but they'll all be here next week for graduation, so i'm not making a big deal out of today

5/9/2010 11:18:22 AM

^^maybe one of your friends called and they are having a small emergency aka locked out of car/house, lost cat, flat tire..

nothing too serious cause you would have to explain it later

5/9/2010 11:20:52 AM

5/9/2010 1:47:00 PM

^ um. YUM!!! let me be yo momma.

ugh i was hoping i'd have my LLS donation webpage set up by today but i don't have my login to set it up yet. i REALLY wanted to set it up today so i could EXTRA guilt people to donating (yes, i'm evil - but its for a great cause). but oh well, whenever i get it set up i'm still going to reference mother's day since it will probably be this week sometime.

GO MOM!!!!!

on a kind of unrelated note i wish if people were going to give me like pens and lawyer-y shit for graduation, they'd just donate to LLS instead. BUT if they're gonna send me a check, i'm kinda poor so i'd like some of those still. again, i'm evil. oh well i have the face of an

5/9/2010 4:14:43 PM

i will gladly donate to the cause

5/9/2010 6:21:06 PM

thanks

and don't worry whenever i get started i will be harassing tww/facebook friends which like you overlap haha. you'll probably hate me by september

i was going to try to get one of the places i used to work at do either a matching thing orrrr do something for me.

5/9/2010 6:22:53 PM

Because when love is gone, there's always justice. And when justice is gone, there's always force! And when force is gone, there's always mom. Hi mom!

5/11/2010 12:43:42 AM

i got her flowers from 1800flowers on friday at 6pm

5/11/2010 12:55:40 AM

Mom loves cooking and its so hard to buy her anything (she has everything and never says what she wants) so I just raided Williams Sonoma for their bourbon syrup, pina colada and sangria drink mixers, and some good looking chocolate chip pancake and waffle mix. Figure its better to get her treats that she normally won't or can't get herself.

I went by Whole Foods and got her flowers, tea, and Saki, then went to Sushi Thai and picked up dinner. Took it all out to the house and had an evening with the parents. I think she was pleased.

I also got her some body wash that has our last name in the product name. Just somethin' fun.

5/11/2010 6:12:48 AM

I gave her a card and took her out to lunch yesterday

I want to give her a chiminea...they just had their back deck expanded and a patio put in. I think she'd enjoy it. That might be a good combo mother's/father's day gift.

"Saki"

Sake. It's not even properly pronounced with an I.

Sorry, huge pet peeve of mine

This is what I do with my mom when I go the food route too. She has every gadget known to man so it's just better to get her high quality ingredients to use in her gadgets.

My sister and I made her these two huge scrapbooks (i.e., my sister scrapbooked and I bought the books ) because all her pictures were disorganized in this massive box that was just not holding everything. The rest of the pictures we went through and put some into a regular photo album then put the rest (all neatly organized and protected) in two cute picture boxes.


Then I made her a bangin chocolate pie I think she enjoyed it

5/11/2010 9:04:19 AM

I bought a silver chain for dad to give her, for a 18k pendant (you shouldn't mix the metals, but we cheaped out b/c we decided she wouldn't know the difference or care )

5/11/2010 9:38:53 AM

Flowers and a card.

5/11/2010 9:39:27 AM

perfume

5/11/2010 9:42:10 AM

proflowers.com, yo

they were purdy

5/11/2010 9:44:06 AM

Cooked for her (and dad,) a gourmet meal, complete with blueberry creme brulee.

5/11/2010 10:00:42 AM

Gift certificate to Sunglass Hut because she lost her sunglasses.

And I surprised her by driving up for the day and helping/making my girlfriend cook her a bad ass dinner. Oh...and we went out and watched Iron Man before that.

5/11/2010 10:01:38 AM

brother and i made her bbq ribs and chicken on sunday for dinner with homemade chocolate swirl cheesecake for dessert. we actually made 2 cheesecakes because we had a bunch of other family over as well. which is a good thing because i managed to drop one of the cheesecakes on my head...no joke.
at least it made her laugh until she cried when she saw it.

and i got her some ferns to replace some that have started looking really crappy.

in addition we bought her lunch on sunday.

guess im a bit of a mama's boy.

5/11/2010 10:03:34 AM

i got her a box of chocolate from http://www.azurelise.com/. They are my favorite!
