thank you cin. that is funny and sad as in the stress levels. perfume is a nice thing and all, but you are smart. you mom is good to have you around. lol. i do put thought into what i buy as a gift and such, and now i regret it for this time being and maybe up until sunday. i just hate the way she acts when the day is coming around. she does not even understand how it makes me feel because she does not care and she does not know the effort i put into the gift. i usually buy it when i am not angry at her, so it usually has some sentimental type of value. or it is something as to what she might like. i do not just go and buy whatever. i bought her a nice and cute blouse plus this really nice smelling body scrub (melon/mint). i was going to buy something else, but certainly have changed my mind.
