Oh, May. Your showers bring flowers and weeds in symmetry.

So! Today it's another Mother's Day of spoiling our mom! We gave her a few choices this morning since we live in the D.C. Metro area:

1. $100 to shop anywhere in Georgetown and then Iron Man 3 in IMAX 3D for all three of us.
2. Two back-row, side tier, tickets to Brian Stokes Mitchell’s show at the Kennedy Center in D.C. at 5pm for her and one of us or a friend. (Brian played one of Rachel’s dads in Glee and our mom loves him.)
3. One front-row, stage box ticket for her to Brian Stokes Mitchell’s show and shopping in Georgetown.
4. The box ticket for Brian Stokes Mitchell’s and Iron Man 3 in IMAX 3D.

None of this, of course, includes any lunches we may have and our dinner later tonight, of which I’ll be playing the night’s designated driver. So she’s got some decisions to make before she gets home from church and we spoil her to bits as much as possible again. As my little sister Jessye said and I wholeheartedly agree: “We plan late but we damn well follow through!”

The only thing that sucks, is that this was my only weekend in May that I didn't have to ask to have off or request specific shifts. Since my birthday is the 26th (I'll be 24, whee!), which is a Sunday so we're already closed, I asked for the morning shift the day before and the evening shift the day after. Then there’s an interpreting event the next weekend on June 1st, a Saturday, that I already prepaid, so I asked for it off and then certain shifts around that….and I also have freaking jury duty next week, so this week is the last one I'm fully scheduled for before June. AUGH!!! DX

AND I FINALLY WASHED MY CAR JUST TO HAVE A STORM SHOW UP AND RUIN HER SHININESS!!!
