Your MOM's Day

As promised (*cough* as opposed to Tuesday *cough*) here's your weekend outlook from Market Squared. First off, the weather report.

Finally, the weekend we've been waiting for.

If you've already forgotten, it's mother's day this weekend. If you want to be a good child and do something more than just show up (like me), here's some options.

If your mom's a geek, you could go see the new Star Trek movie. It's got action and young attractive men in it:

They even have it in IMAX

Besides, if she's a fan of Heroes she'll get to see Zachary Quinto in a role other than that of a super-powered serial killer. (H: Also, I saw it last night, and even as a non-Trekkie, I thought it was awesome. Hellooooooo James T. Kirk.)

Sunday will be cool, but nice, so a trip around downtown is never a bad idea. In particular, you could take her shopping around the many clothing and jewelry stores on Market and Congress streets, and have a stop at Annabelle's Ice Cream and take a walk around the docks to Prescott Park. As for me, my parents live in Raymond, so for ice cream we'll probably be taking a trip to Memories in Kingston (hey, it's her favorite).

Moms do generally love chocolate, so if you've never got anything from Byrne and Carlson on State Street, I suggest getting your chocolate there. It's more than 3 Tugboats good, and you can even get the chocolate with flowers embedded in them:

Yes, you are supposed to eat it.

As for the rest of the weekend, we'll probably be hitting the bars tonight, and I'll be celebrating the second of many 30th birthdays to come this year among my friends. It is one more step on the frightening countdown to Heather's and mine (on 9/30 and 11/10, respectively). We're not old, yet. (H: Shut up, we're not.)
