Alright.  I know it is weird for a guy to go shopping early, but at the start of this year, I made a vow to do things sooner as opposed to later.  So yes, I was out mother’s day shopping today.

Funny thing is I was not just shopping for one person, but in fact three people - my mother, my wife and my grandmother.  In past years, I have bought dumb things like books, kitchen utensils (whenever I ask my mother what she wants, she always answers that she needs a new spoon), and other stupid stuff.  I decided that this year would be the year where everything changed - and I would buy some sort of designer jewelry for them.

I found myself in a luxury jewelry store for the second time in my life.  Thankfully, there was a helpful clerk that helped me to navigate through this foreign territory to the case that held what I was looking for: unique designer jewelry.

I was able to find three beautiful necklaces, each one unique, and what I thought was perfect for each of them.  Even though it feels weird to have all my shopping done, it feels good too - but now I have to find a place to hide everything for almost four months…..
