♛ GODIVA and ASIAN BISTRO ♕
my marmy took a couple of days off.
she took one day to rest and the other to go to the doctor's office for blood work.
i finally convinced marmy to go see a doctor, because her wounds are healing too slowly.
so, a lot of the times they get infected and she has to get medication... you get the idea.
my madre rarely gets to go out, because she's too tired from work and just sleeps
when she gets home. i thought i would take her out and help her relax. i told
her that i would pay for everything so she was pretty happy about that.
we went to the mall to look around for some new winter clothes, but i told her that
we should stop by GODIVA first. i have that rewards card where you get a free
truffle every month. the lady in front of the store gave us this card that said,
" buy $25 and get $5 off!"
my madre is a chocolate freak. i told her to pick out $25 of anything she wanted
in the store.
she was so happy.
so, while she was looking around i took some pics with my cell.
my marmy picked out a large dark chocolate almond bark and another plain dark chocolate bar.
she told me to choose something for my sister rose.
so, i picked the mummy with the coffin.
the cashier was super nice to us. she stuffed the bag with a crap load of those $5 off cards and
gave us some extra treats.
i had madre choose her free truffle. since she is not only a chocolate freak... she's also a nut freak...
she went with the pecan truffle. lol!
we shopped around for clothes. she got a ralph lauren top and i got a DKNY coat.
it was already past 1:00pm and we didn't have lunch yet. so, i took her to asian bistro.
the place is usually busy at night so there was only like 4 other people in the restaurant
when we got there.
chrysanthemum tea
do you see the chrysanthemum petals in the tea? ^ ^
crab rangoon
hot and sour soup
pad thai
broccoli and shrimp
ended lunch with a little fortune cookie.
my fortune made me smile.
taking my mom out today was indeed a good choice.
today, really made me think about my relationship with my mother.
in the beginning we were enemies. i didn't talk to her and i ignored her.
i felt like i couldn't trust her and always relied on my father for help.
she did so many things that i thought i could never forgive her for and made
me feel so miserable. i wanted to run away so many times.
that was all in the past... all our troubles made our bond stronger in the end.
i realized many years ago that she was sorry for all the things she put me through.
i knew it was time to forgive her. i didn't exactly make things easy for her either.
even though it took almost 20 years, i'm glad that we can have the mother
and daughter relationship that we have now.
