Calling all mothers

Okay, friends... I'm not going to blow this one, this year. I'm always so bad, so distracted. But I've got two days. What do I do for the Rocket Scientist for Mother's day? Any ideas, suggestions? I'm all ears.

Thanks, PM... now, laundry baskets I could get! LOL. Yeah... a hike might be real nice. I'll talk to the Painter... the Inventor is good for saying things like cat and strawberry (at least some approximation) but I don't think he'd be much help in this regard... unless of course the Rocket Scientist wants another cat, or some strawberries. Not likely.

There's always the "day off" thing: a fun family breakfast followed by the disappearance of spouse and offspring (or of mother) for a day of..... she's not telling and you're not asking.

What I would like:

Some earrings. They don't have to be expensive. A $10 pair would be fine. Just something pretty that I could wear every day--nothing too big or fancy.

Gift certificate for a facial and a massage.

Some short-sleeved blouses. They seem to be impossible to find, but I need something that looks a little nicer than a t-shirt.

A book.

Liza with a Z on DVD.

The main thing is that I am so sick of spelling out exactly what I want to BH. I would like to be pleasanty surprised for once. He never tells me what he wants, yet I have to tell him exactly what I want, or I won't get anything at all. I have yet to get a Mother's Day present. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I will this year. I told him he'd better, so I think that lit a fire.

But enough about me. I think the key question to consider is, what does she like? What are her interests? Use the answers to those questions to help you find a gift. Me, I love music, theatre, movies, and reading, so it would be hard for BH to screw up in those categories. What does she love?
