Today is the second anniversary of the day Mom died. And yesterday would have been her 62nd birthday. Together, those two dates make July a tough month. But I am doing ok. It helps that Uncle Jeff is here for a visit, the weather is beautiful, and my Bug is too cute for words.

See for yourselves:



Tonight, we will go out for Mom's favorite meal -- sushi -- and toast her, not with cocktails, but with Pepsi from a can, over ice. And we will miss her a lot, but go on.

Then, tomorrow I can get cracking on buying G his card and birthday present. I'm not going to go too crazy since I bought him an Ipod for Father's Day.

I got my Mother's Day gift on Tuesday. He offered me a spa day, but I chose this instead. It gets me knitting, sock yarn, and a few hours of Jen time. Thanks, G! Picking out your own gift can be a very good thing. A little guilt thrown in doesn't hurt.

Oh and for a good giggle, check this out. Bug enjoys it.
