My mom, Gma, & I were supposed to check out the Harry Potter exhibit at the Science Centre today - Mom's choice - to celebrate Mother's Day. But then I woke up with a horrible cramp, feeling all light-headed and cold and nauseous dizzy. So instead of checking out Snape's potions together, my mom ended up being the one providing a remedy (i.e., TLC and water).
We didn't get to see Harry's glasses or the Elder Wand, but we did go out for pie at this awesome place in my 'hood. The pie itself was dece' (I'm not a huge pie person), the quiche was deeelish, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The decor is all cottage-y/rustic-y with chipped paint and board games abounding, which makes it extremely cozy and laid back. Awesome! We taught Gma how to play Crazy 8s, which was pretty entertaining ("Care, why do I have to pick up 2?"), and sampled each other's food. Then, after a quick grocery shop and gas stop, Mom & I watched New York I Love You, an episode of Gilmore Girls with James, Pretty Woman with Dad, and the season finale of the Amazing Race.
The day didn't differ much from how Mom & I usually spend time together (especially all the TV watching), but I did go out of my way to be agreeable and open, which she seemed to appreciate. I'm lucky that I have all these opportunities for one-on-one hanging out with my mom, because some of my friends with multiple siblings rarely get the chance to do this.
