Yesterday Matt took me out to Pet's Discount Warehouse to find some new mice friends. At the store we paused to play with the many rabbits they always seem to have and briefly played with the idea of having an aquatic turtle. I picked up two female mice, a sweet brown one and a tempermental black and white one. They're named Cinnamon and Alex, respectively. In the car I had asked Matt if he wanted to named one of them and he threw me one of his "are you kidding me?" looks. It seems he relegates the task of naming pets as a girl thing.
Tonight we're meeting my family mother's day dinner. Apparently neither my brother or father wanted to cook for the two mothers, so they decided to eat out instead. Which also resulted in a phone call a couple of weeks ago informing me: dinner, mother's day, buffet, bring Matt if possible.
Matt and I are giving my mother the requisite mother's day card and a Waldenbooks gift card. She loves to read and shared that love for books with me at an early age. I remember as soon as I was able to write my own name, she took me to get a library card. As a result my old green Hawaii State Library card has a very funny looking "J" leading a string of wobbly letters.
For all the mothers who are reading this, happy mother's day.
