I will:
Co-host 2 showers in my capacity as a bridesmaid, which includes baking various items, gathering flowers, finding all the vintage tablecloths in my basement, making small talk with Arlington matrons, making sure no one gets too tipsy, organizing a scrapbook for the bride and trying to not to feel like I should get to register for presents just because.
Host my mother. She is lovely, and not a bit of trouble, but I do have to wash the sheets and make the bed.
See Margot and the Nuclear So-and-So's at Circus.
Host a Mother's Day brunch on Sunday (outside, I hope), with my mum, my mother-in-law and her partner, and maybe an old family friend. And B better be there, too. This necessitates waking up early on Saturday to go to the Farmer's Market (which is 4 blocks away- how great is that?) to get fresh eggs, dill and asparagus for a frittata, and maybe some good bread. We'll see what else moves us.
All I want for Mother's Day is for someone to mow my lawn. I'd say the odds are about even.
