My Mom turns an undisclosed age today, and we've invited her over for dinner. We have a few small things for her. Some sugar free chocolate, some movies, and some other things my wife bought, that I can't remember.
But that isn't enough, but she is impossible to shop for. All she does is bowls, work, and bitch and nag. She doesn't cook, but I don't want to get her gift certificates to eat out. She likes to read, but she reads everything, so she probably has it. She wants a shepherd's hook for her yard, so I'll get her that, but what else?
I suppose I could get her an outfit or two. It has to be bright, gaudy, and if flamingo's are on it, it's a bonus. I don't bother getting her things for the house, because she's never there. And if you get her candles, chances are you get them back for Christmas as a gift from her. She forgets who gives them to her, and regifts them...usually to us.
I've got her every CD that she could possibly want. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Motown...all ov her favorites. I got her Ray Charles great hits, and every time we go somewhere with her, we have to listen to it. I am so sick of "Georgia"
But I've been racking my brains for weeks to figure out what to get her, and have no clue. She'll be at the house in about 3 hours, so I need to step up, and find something.
Maybe a puppy...
