I decided to wait and post for a bit until my mood brightened some. It's not great, but it's better.
I had a bit of a nuclear fallout with my mother this morning. I had gone to bed later than I had planned and so when I woke up this morning, I wasn't quite with it. Mom was trying to talk to me some this morning on the car trip to her work, and I wasn't overly responsive. Not because I was trying to blow her off, it's just I wasn't all together with it yet. Well, she seemed to think I was deliberately ignoring her, and she got all moody. It got to the point that when we pulled up to the entrance so I could let her out, she started acting all pissy and slammed to doors when she got out. Needless to say, it soured my mood. Then, when I got back home there was a message on the answering machine. It was mom. She had started to apologize but then it turned into an angst fest, saying how she feels under appreciated. She goes on to say how she only got a card for her birthday and how I want a big ol' party for mine. About how she "doesn't rate much" and all this other stuff. Of course, I was feeling a little pissed when I got home and then I started to feel like complete crap. She said some other stuff too, but I really don't feel like getting into that at the moment. She then called again to apologize for the message and to completely disregard what she had said. I tried to explain that the reason I hadn't gotten a gift for her yet was because funds were tight this month and I'd have to wait a bit before I got her anything. I still planned on getting her something. And the only reason I sort of want a bit of a party is because it's gonna be my 30th birthday and it's kinda special. If it were anything else, I'd care less. I'll just tell her I don't need to have anything done for me, not if it's gonna cause any sort of drama. I just don't want to deal with all of that.
Aside from that, the cookout we had yesterday was very nice. Some friends of ours had their daughter visiting from Canada, so that was nice. I hadn't seen her in awhile. We then played a game. It's called "ImagineIff" and it's kinda like a guessing game. You have to try and pick the most appropriate choice from a list of things under a certain topic for whomever you land on. If you pick whatever the actual person picks for themselves, you move up a space. It's kinda hard to explain, but pretty fun.
I'm trying to try listening to the radio through Windows Media Player. I picked their Top 40 category, but there seems to be a lot of Hip-Hop and I'm not one who enjoys that genre. Once in awhile I get lucky though.

Trivia of the day: Nutella is a hazelnut spread made with skim milk and cocoa. It is virtually unknown in America, but European children have happily smeared it on breakfast croissants for decades.
