<p>I'm thinking about taking her to a Billie Holiday play (even though I hate her right now) in DC. Dinner would be nice, but she'll have to fork up the cash on that because I can't even afford the play tix right now(They're $50 apiece!). It'll require all my leftover birthday cash, and I'll have to save my lunch money for 10 days, or go to "the movies" to get a $20 from my dad and not see a movie at all, and get attacked by gangsters behind Borders. All for mom.</p>
<p>I love/hate my mom.</p>
<p>What are you going through to get your moms a gift?</p>
<p>I'm buying my mother a new handbag she wants- more like I asked her to pick out what she wants and I pay for it. Works well. And I also give her a card.</p>
