mother's day

...happy belated mother's day to all my mama friends out there! we celebrated mother's day at our place with my mom, my bro, and take-out thai/japanese food...

...most relatively new moms are congratulated on this day by their own mothers who are usually proud of their daughters' attainment of motherhood. not my mom. for the 2nd year in a row, my mom forgot that mother's day applies to me too, not just to her. she said maybe next year she'll remember. i'm not holding my breath though.

we went to see our friends at wicker park grace in the evening, where they were having a spoken word event on the theme of 'hospitality'. i spent a good deal of time keeping cadence from going haywire, but it was still great to see g-dogg and nanette and the others. i also got to meet one of my latest flickr contacts in person. oh! and g-dogg got cadence this great book on skateboard monsters! not only that, g-dogg also brought the best coconut macaroons i've ever had, from artemios bakery (sp?). they were like the size of cadence's head!

yum...
