Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The new BEP! Or a donation in her name? Otherwise, flowers.

Har. I usually do flowers, but I was thinking perfume this year, or maybe a copy of Strong Poison plus something else.

My mom will be out of town on Mother's Day. I think she did the same thing last year. Hm.

OK, so I just adopted a bat named Mister Kitty for my mom. Heh.

Those salad tongs are too cute! Too bad I already have 4 sets of salad tongs I almost never use.

I do not see how that cat is comfortable at all.

It's a kitten. They sleep wherever and however. The late Thimble, as a kitten, used to fall asleep half hanging off the wood stove. She fell off onto the bricks several times, bouncing off a ledge by the doors (only 3 feet or so) and didn't wake up until later.

I wonder if it would be inappropriate to buy my mother Strong Poison and The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels for Mother's Day.

Happy Kodomo no Hi! We put a koi up for Noah and another for Grace a few nights ago. We even measured Noah's height on the chart.

For dinner: Pizza with roasted asparagus and pepperoni (herb crust!) and an iced tea.

Life is GOOOOOOOOOOD.

Educate me, what is Kodomo no Hi?

Glad life is good!

It's Children's Day in Japan. In the words of wikipedia.

It is a day set aside to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness. It was designated a National holiday by the Japanese government in 1948.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am so frickin' tired, I can't handle the thought of mother's day.

Eh, might as well do a repeat of last year. Bought a ham for the MiL and made brunch.
