Today started out normal enough with me getting up early to get dressed and ready for work. I was leaving when I noticed a strange truck in our driveway, so naturally I look around and see my bro's co-worker picking figs out of our fig tree >-<
I just waved and figured, "I'll take care of it later." - Which I did.
Anyway, went to work, was bored at work, and left work to find my mother who was within the same shopping block (in a nother store) with my grandmother. I helped them put their stuff into the car, then I left with my mom to start our mother/daughter shopping (read: bonding) time.
I have to say, my mother - whom I love dearly - is the only person on the face of this earth who can make my blood pressure go from perfectly normal to perfectly dangerous within five seconds. It's a lot better now. We used to fight constantly in a bad way, now it's more like continuous good-natured bickering ^_^ Sometimes I think I tease her too much.
Anyway, my mind was one bare necessities, stuff I would need the first week I was away from home like towels, dishes, and a coffee pot. My mom's mind was everywhere. I was thinking cost/space effective. Mom was thinking Suzie Home-maker. But, I have to say, I'm very proud of myself. I didn't spend half as much as I thought I would; and I'm already finished with buying the "big" stuff - pots and pans, vacuum cleaner, and the like. Now, all I really need is cleaning supplies and food.
Afterall, like I told Mom:
1. If I forgot something, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
And . . .
2. When I buy my first house, then I'll go crazy with designer stuff. Right now, I'm just looking for plastic and cheap.
So, I'm feeling kind of accomplished. And I have my own kettle! O.O I've never had a kettle before! My mom, when we were leaving the last place we went to, had this really disbelieving look on her face as she said, "I never thought I'd see you buying housewares!"
-_-;
I do love my mummy. She balances out the angry darkness in me.
