Happy Mother's Day

To all my readers who are moms, to children or furbabies, Happy Mother's Day! I wanted to post my gift to Mama SE earlier, but sometimes she reads the blog. Obviously I'm a little short on cash, hence the unemployed almost-new grad, so I had to do something inexpensive. Enter Taylor Swift "Fearless". Her song "The Best Day" really hits home for my relationship with my mom- especially the part where she's 13. I won't even get into those details, middle school was awful. Anyways, my mom and I have transitioned from a disciplinary parental relationship to a friendship over the past four years I've been in college. Not so much a friend that we'll get drunk together, like some parents I know. But more of just somebody that I can talk to about anything. I think it's really great when parental relationships reach that point of maturity.

Anyways, back to the gift. I printed off the lyrics to "The Best Day" on really thick paper (with something pretty from DaFont, of course), along with burning a copy of the actual CD. Also, Taylor has said some really sweet quotes about her mom- in reference to the fact that she dedicated the song to her. My mom was SO excited and surprised. She said it was the best gift I'd ever given her. Here's the new music video for the song. We love you moms!
