I tried to call my a few times on Mother's Day, but her phone didn't even ring! It must have been off because it went straight to voicemail. WTF lame mom. >.< Worked until 6, got home to pick up Mike and we hung out with some of his family for a bit. <3
My mom's an oddball, too. We can't buy her gifts because she re-gifts anything you buy her. Even if it's something she likes, it ends up being re-gifted.
For example... one year we bought her $50 for InSpa. She was excited, but then 2 months later, "Oh, that spa gift certificate, it was Ling's (aunt) birthday and I didn't have a present so I gave it to her to use. I wouldn't have had time anyway, don't buy me anything."
Another year, she actually wanted a nice bluetooth, so that's what she got. But right after she received it (this was on Christmas), she gave it to grandma instead and said she'd buy a cheap one for herself later. >.>...
Flowers go unappreciated for the most part, cards are usually kept, but she just doesn't care for gifts. :-/
