    Rant: I have officially hit the limit of how much time I should spend with my mother (although I am here until tomorrow).

    We spent the day doing errands, going to the movies, etc. When we came home I put some PJ bottoms on, my hair up and glasses on. Her boyfriend (my dad died years ago) came over for dinner. We spent 30 minutes eating and then I get up to come back upstairs and she says "You don't really look so nice". WTF?! So I said "What are you trying to accomplish with your comment?" Seriously. WTF?! This was a casual "family" dinner. No need (in my mind) to get dressed up. I am beyond annoyed.

    That just sucks. Mom's love is supposed to be unconditional. Regardless what you're wearing.

    Rant and Rave: Beaver has dissappeared. I *think* she went shopping at Wal-Mart. Poor Beav.

    if it wasn't nighttime and there wasn't Black Friday traffic, I would pack my shit and get out right now. I'm furious.

    do you come back with "who fucking asked you?", because that would be my answer.

    she's embarrassed by her boyfriend's shirt last night (too loud), she's embarrassed by how I looked at dinner...the only one she's not embarrassed by is herself. I'm tired of her making "excuses" for me in front of people. I'm 41 years old.

    GRRRRR......

    Oh, I'm ready to tell her I'm not coming for Christmas. I'm also ready to say a whole bunch of other shit, which is why I am trying to stay in "my room" (I never lived in this house)...just so I can keep it under control as she has pushed all of my buttons.

    Two pairs of shoes for $75!! Yay!

    Um...isn't one of the first rules of dating not to invite other people? :lol:

    I used to have a friend/neighbor who would say "come on over, we're going to watch a movie and go in the jacuzzi". I'd get there and his girlfriend would be there...obviously pissed that she thought she was going to be just with him and then I'd wonder WTF he was thinking....weird and uncomfortable all around

    Most men are content with a threesome. Not you, apparently.

    I've already hinted that I probably won't be coming for Christmas. We're supposed to go to my brother's - but his in-laws drive me nuts. Just a really huge, loud, obnoxious family with tons of snot-nosed kids running around. I can't handle it. I'd rather stay home and watch 24 hours of A Christmas Story on TNT with Oscar. You can come, too!

    oh, don't tempt me. I might just do that. My mother just came in here to get something from the room. I was like "what do you want?". No apology from her. Tomorrow she'll act like nothing happened.

    I have no problems with a threesome, I'm just afraid of BigGuy. Because he's so....big (Flex, as I know you will, please insert penis joke here).

    Rant: My home network died and I will most likely need to buy a new router and start from scratch.

    Rave: I did not to have to spend Thanksgiving with ANY of my annoying relatives. Not even my brother's whiny boyfriend.

    If this isn't reason to stay home for Christmas, I don't know what is!
