I had a plan. It was a good one, too. I had a very good plan for Mother's Day this year. I'm not entirely sure how it has become my job to procure Mother's Day gifts for Mr. Husband's moms (yes, plural), but it is, and this year I had it all figured out good and early. Unfortunately, a plan isn't quite the same as actually following through and taking care of those little gifts, and now I'm screwed.
I waited too long and now need to revert to Plan B.
Since both moms live a little far away, I kind of have to get my ass in gear like RIGHT NOW. Whatever is acquired will need to be shipped no later than Wednesday. I figured I would start the games with a little internet searching, with the idea that if I can find something online, I can just get it shipped straight to the lovely women who very much so deserve something spectacular.
So, I searched Target.com. And found this.
In case you can't read THAT FREAKIN APRON, it says, "I can only please one person each day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either."
Gee, thanks, Target. Way to give me a brilliant idea, if my mission is to have my mother-in-laws never speak to me again.
The rest of the search results I came up with on Target's site were your stereotypical boring gift baskets, paperweights, and crappy jewelry, so I figured I would check Wal-Mart.com. I found this:
Um, that's a book. A book that is entitled, "The Mother's Day Murder." I'm pretty sure it accurately describes what would happen if I were to give anybody that apron from Target.
I think I'll go back to my homemade gift plan. It's just going to have to get there late.
Psst . . . if anybody *ahem*MrHusband*ahem* is trying to figure out what to get me for Mother's Day, may I suggest a lovely hanging basket from you-know-where? Or, how about some fun stuff to go with Mr. Canon? Me likey this little lens, and HOOOBOY would I love you for buying me a super fun external flash.
