Mother’s Day
Sunday May 13th 2007, 5:06 pm

I am a bad daughter. In 2005, I bought my mom a Mother’s Day card. I wrote in it, I addressed the envelope, but I forgot to send it. When I did realize it, it was too late to bother sending it, so I stashed it away ’til 2006. In 2006, I wrote another message in the same card, explaining how I forgot to send it before and that’s why there are two Mother’s Day messages inside of it. Now it’s 2007 and my mom was here last weekend. Fearing I would forget to send it again, I planned to just give it to her last week… but we went out of town, got busy, and no surprise here, I forgot. I was definitely going to mail it though. But well, now it’s Mother’s Day and it’s still sitting downstairs in last year’s day planner. I suppose I could send it off tomorrow, but since I managed to forget again, I don’t see why not keep it around for another year and give it to her in ‘08… with four years of Mother’s Day messages in it. Don’t worry mom, it’s coming… sometime.

Thanks Sarah! At least I know you remember Mother’s Day. You just can’t seem to get the card mailed. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts, I guess. I’ll look forward to 2008.

Love you,
Mom

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
