[Runs around in a circle, tossing out gift certificates for shopping sprees, day-spa treatments, and lots and lots of chocolate…] OH NO!! HERE COME THE PC POLICE! \ “Ok, buddy, knock it off!” But wha-? What’d I do, officer? “You’re promoting female stereotypes! Indeed! What, you think all women like are shopping sprees? Or to be pampered for hours? Or to eat chocolate?” Well, yeah! I do, kind of. Ok, so maybe there are a few black sheep who don’t – “STOP! Another non-PCism. By ‘black sheep,’ you’re not being condescending to African Americans, are you?” No!! No!! I just meant… Oh, poop. Ok, ok… I’ll stop. “Say… if you’re not going hand out any more, do you think you could favor me with a smidgen of that yummy caramel?” Why sure, ma’am, help yourself! HAPPY MOMMY’S DAY! 😃 ---

Ok, so it’s not Mother’s Day YET, but I thought I’d get a jump on the weekend. I’m going back home this weekend to celebrate with me dear ol’ Mom. 🙂 ---

dantheman, How nice of you to remember all of us moms. I don’t like to shop or do the spa thing, but will accept your chocolate with thanks. Lord knows I’ve earned it.🙂 ---

I don’t know what to get my mom! A guess a ‘sentimental’ gift such as a card will do… ---

I hug my Mom every time I see her. 🙂 And as I can’t think of anything else, I’m taking her out to dinner on Sunday. To the restaurant where my brother cooks. So two birds with one stone, so to speak. ---

Oh, thanks. I about had a heart attack, thinking that Mother’s Day was today and I’d gotten it wrong. Whew. Ok, carry on… 🙂
