Mmk, let's set aside the general feeling of disgust towards commercially-born holidays like Mother's Day. I, too, find myself sighing in exasperation when the spring months arrive because of the multitude of money-leeching, strategically placed events that corporate America has taken advantage of in an effort to keep first and second quarter numbers up.
This time, Mother's Day happens to come along right as my mother is finishing nursing school. She went back to college a couple years ago, and she's earned her RN and already lined up a job at a pretty nice hospital over in Aggieland.
So good for her, I say.
But I need to say it with something.
...aaannnddd the best thing I can come up with is chocolate-covered strawberries...
eh?
