Usually I go with the funny, but this one made me and my cold cynical self get all teary eyed. It also made my mom cry when she read it. I wonder if she kept it. One card out of years and years of card buying. One year, I found the perfect Mother’s Day card. Usually I go with the funny, but this one made me and my cold cynical self get all teary eyed.

It's the only way to go with cards now a-days. Hallmark sucks quite a bit. In fact I recall spending an hour mulling over cards there for Alex's birthday, and leaving thoroughly pissed, not to mention empty handed. The thrill of entering Hallmark to find the perfect card is no more. Target has some innovative, visually stunning cards from their Papyrus line, girl. It’s the only way to go with cards now a-days.

I wish I could instate a no cards rule in my house, but I think my Mom is a lost cause. :) Sue, That’s great!

Never have. I remember once my grandma made up a funny poem about "saving her money for her honey" and attached the couple of dollars she would have spent on a card. I think I still have that note somewhere. We do not exchange cards in my family. Never have.
