So yesterday P and I exchanged gifts. I got her a book on how to make kites because I know she loves to do arts and crafts. Also because my Dad and I use to fly kites (and he made them too). She loved her book. She made me a card and included a magazine subscription card to a magazine my Dad use to subscribe to. She also said it was my choice if I wanted it or wanted to choose another one. This is a good time for me to practice making choices but unfortunately, I'm not sure if I want Dwell or something else. 

So, I wonder what your favorite magazines are? You might know what I like and most recently I've subscribed to Utne, Ms. magazines. I've also subscribed to Mother Earth News, Mothering, Hip Mama, Tightwad Gazette (okay well this was more of a newsletter).   I also had a friend give me a subscription to something similar to Utne (just remembered, it's called Ode!) but it was more global in perspective (I forget the title) and I bought a couple of "how to" magazines that were published briefly then folded, it was great not like the "Shopping living simple" 

So these are my tastes, do you have any suggestions? I was going to look on the Utne site but it appears to be down right now.

Was a GREAT day! P and I woke up, resolved a few things that were hanging on our head. I worked on cleaning the bathroom some (it needed it bad, and more to clean too). P made a nice lunch. We left for coffee with the girls. This was nice, there were a couple of young girls there (by young, I mean age 3) She had recently learned how to wink and was winking at everyone. Adorable they were both shy but at the end of the time, were walking around holding hands. too cute.

Coming home, my boy was home from his Dad's and sleeping. It's so often the case when he comes back from his Dad's and crashes for 2-3 hours. His Dad claims to make sure that he's going to bed at a reasonable hour but perhaps it's the transition. I figure it's not my place to really say anything and let him sleep. Funny thing was, both P and I ended up napping too. I woke up and started dinner and when it was done, woke up the rest of the house. A brought out my mother's day gift. I didn't expect him to do anything but was pleasantly surprised. He had a card, rainbow chocolate mints, Coleman campfire sandwich maker and a comedy CD. This comedy CD was really something I think he wanted. I liked that he bought something he liked so he could share it with me.  I thanked A and it almost seemed that he was tearing up. I know that he's a sensitive boy and I love him for it. Afterwards,  P started making popcorn balls and A played the CD. I didn't really like it, it was sexist, racist, homophobic, antisemetic, classist stuff that was full of language that I'd rather not listen to around my son. I only made a couple of comments. We all helped form the popcorn balls once they were ready to make. This was fun, I think we all enjoyed it.
