current mood: drained
current song: "Love On A Two Way Street" -- Stacy Lattisaw
Instead of having a big backyard barbeque and such my mother, older brother, and I went shopping at Robinson's May. It wasn't great, but it was something. The sad part is that Robinson's May isn't the same anymore since Macy's bought it, and it also won't be around for long. Supposedly they're going to make the old Robinson's May into the new Macy's while the old Macy's will be another expensive store like Bloomingdales which in my opinion sucks. If they do that then they'll be no reason for me to go to the mall anymore -- Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and all those others stores are too expensive for me ... *sigh* I wish they'd at least put a Target or something, that would be WAY BETTER than another overpriced department store (which no ones go to by the way.) Oh well I guess ...
In other news I just heard that Italy beat Germany. I didn't see the game, but I guess it was a pretty good match. It sucks that Brazil didn't make it, but hopefully Italy will win it.^^ My mom's all sad right now cause she wanted Germany to win.
Which also reminds me, shopping with my mom is sooo draining. She bugs the hell out of me and she knows it. I think she gets some twisted kick out of it too ...
Mom: You know, instead of buying almost $100 worth of clothes for you I should be sending it to my dad. (My mom's dad lives in mexico and he has a tumor in his eye)
Me: (knowing she's only saying it to get me mad) No, you shouldn't. He's old and he's gonna die soon, but I'm your daughter and I'm still young.
Mom: You could die too, then those clothes would go to waste.
Me: But mom!
*sigh* The whole day was like that. She critized me, glared at me, and bossed me around while I tried to bug her right back. However, when she gets out of hand I tend to tell her this ...
Me: I have no mother.
Mom: Oh really? What happened to her?
Me: She stopped being my mom a long time ago so she's dead to me now.
Mom: Well then, I guess you don't have a home either since you don't have a mother.
Me: Ergh, mom. >_>
Mom: ^_^
What really pisses her off is when I say this though ...
Me: Mom, what would you do if I got run over by a bus tomorrow? Would you even care?
Mom: Shut up! Don't talk like that!
Me: You know, it could happen since I don't really look at where I'm going. Like this one time this car almost ran me over --
Mom: For being stupid! That's why you need to graduate high school and get a career!
Me: -blinks- What does that have to do with me getting run over?
Mom: Everything! Now shut up -- my novela's on!
Me: -sulkily- Okay ...
Aw, but I love my mother to death ... Although she can at times get on my nerves.^^
Wooo, I'm gonna go watch some old Ranma episodes now, and bug my mom some more!
