Sorry for bringing you down yesterday. I'll be fine. Thanks for the support.
In the mean time, I have a question for you about mothers...
Specifically mine.
A few weeks ago I bought a manicure kit and was pretty excited about it. I mentioned it to my mother and the next day she was at Ocean State Job Lot (think of it as a flea market with walls) and she bought me an ENORMOUS manicure carousel shaped like a clam shell. It opened up and had a million compartments for polishes, files, etc. The only thing was that none of the compartments were tall enough to actually hold polish. Design flaw I guess.
Anyway, it was horrendously tacky, ENORMOUS and I have no idea how much she spent on it. $10? $15?
But it's the thought that counts right?
Well then can you please explain to me why 5 minutes later she reached into her purse, pulled out a Powerball ticket, handed it to me and said, "You owe me $2."
LOL Are we sisters? Your mom sounds like my mom!

Tell her you are even it is going to cost you $2 in gas and time to get rid of that scary thing.

Maybe they gave her the manicure set for free :)
She figures if you pay her for the lottery ticket and you win then you have to share with her hahaha.

HaHa!! I gave up long ago on trying to understand the strange stuff my mom does. This kind of thing is right up her alley too.I believe my mom does it on purpose (some of it at least) just to mess with me.

And here I am wishing my mom was around to do crazy sh*t like that....but it is pretty funny.WHERE did she think you were going to hide, I mean display that?

LOL! Yeah, that sounds about right.

Sounds like something my mother-in-law would do to stick it to me!

At least your mom bought you a present. And think of the $2 for the Powerball as a good investment.

Geez, aside from the manicure story here, this is something my mother would do. Seriously, if I even mention being interested in something, I'll have some great big SOMETHING about the new item of interest, even if I only brought it up in a passing statement.
But, yeah, if she buys me anything I ask for, even a stick of gum, I'll be reminded what it cost.

Oh Geez. I guess she figures if you both win millions, she wants to be evens from the go?

Lol, well if you pay her back for the powerball ticket that means you probably don't have to split your winnings with her.
