Memories....

I'm still working on answering the questions from this post. Clearly, the fic has been the most popular subject, but I've enjoyed exploring lots of different topics. Today's question comes from kudagirl:

"What was your childhood like? Was it small town American where you knew everyone and they knew all about you as well? Or did you live in the city? Did you move around a lot? Give us the less known bit about you that made you who you are today."

( Tales of mini-E )

Overall, I had a pretty good childhood... lots of fuzzy watercolor memories. Compared to other people who went through all kinds of hardships growing up, it seems a little boring, but I rather liked it that way. :)

Epic boredom

It's Friday afternoon, and there's nothing to do in work, and I've already read everything on the internet that I'm allowed to read in work (which means, for the most part, no fic... so all those recs do me no good in keeping me busy). So, I ask your advice.

My mother's birthday is a week away, and I don't know what to get her. Suggestions? I got her perfume for Mother's Day, so cross that off the list. She's a secretary at a law school, participates in a book club (but never buys books, always the library), likes gardening and cats, and is a good cook. She definitely does not need any more shoes or purses (or my dad will mutiny). Any ideas?
