Mom, Me and MY Birthday
I want to share this story with you. Some may think its a little "out there", but my Mom and I loved sharing it.
Everyone knows that when you have a birthday--the birthday boy/girl is suppose to get the gifts and the parties, right? Well, when I was in mid twenties and my birthday was right around the corner I wanted to change things up a bit. I wanted to make it my Mom's day instead of mine. I mean, she did give me life, taught me everything, gave me strength, cared for me when sick, you get the picture. I wanted this to be a day to remember and boy was it.
I was born at 3:05 pm. I have always said I wasn't officially my new age until that time of day. (yea I know, it's weird). So, on my 26th birthday I set my plan in motion. I picked up the phone and called Mom at 3:03 pm. Mom answers the phone and we say our hello's/how are you's and then I asked her how she was feeling. Mom hesitated and said she felt fine and asked why. I said "Are you sure? You're not in any pain?" She hesitated again and said she felt fine and was wondering if I was ok. I told her I was kind of in a dark place at that moment, but I could see the light. Mom finally said, "Mary, what the hell is wrong with you? I am fine!" I giggled and said, "ok Momma its time to push---are you ready----its ok---it will be over in a couple minutes". By this point she was freaking out, not knowing what the heck I was talking about. I continued telling her to "Breeeeathe, breeeathe, haa haa hooooo hhaaa haaa hoooo hooo" (those that have had a baby know what that is). Then finally she got it and said "OH MY GOODNESS, you little shit and we both had a good laugh. Later that day I went to see my Mom and I actually took her a baby bouquet with a "It's a girl" balloon and thanked her for all she had done for me, being my best friend and for just being my Mom.

Why am I blogging?
Hi there! The reason I created this blog, other than the fact that it was a class assignment, I wanted a way to help people find that one of a kind gift for that "one of a kind" person--even if that person is yourself. Starting some time in March my online store will be up and running and waiting for brand new customers to stop by. But that's not the only place I will be talking about to go find great gift items. I will be searching the web and finding links for you to check out. I have already found some really crazy things and there are actually people out there that would buy this stuff. No offense intended to the makers or sellers, but some of it is just weird to me. There is a link attached to this post that will show you just an example of what I am talking about. Please feel free to give me your opinion about the link.
Thank you for stopping by. Please take a second and fill out the one question survey at the bottom of the page.
