so my mom and i took a shopping trip
yesterday intentionally just to explore
the newly opened H&M at the
otay town center (and yes, i got new clothes)
but she wound up wanting to buy me more
things for summer.

"because now you're a starving college student"
she said, acknowledging and accepting the fact
that indeed, i am an unpaid intern. i am free labor
working sheerly for experience and self discovery.
and the thing is, it makes me happy just knowing that
she accepts me and trusts me. that she loves who
i am now, and who God has starting molding me into.

we're still working out my "weekly allowance"
(which i am not stoked about)...i dislike being
financially dependent on my parents, but if
they're willing to help, i am not objecting.

at least they caved to my request of 2 tanks
of gas a "week" (it does last me longer than that)
but yeah.

so anyway, back to the shopping story... on my
mom's quest to stock me up for summer, we went
to sephora because i ran out of tinted moisturizer
and pressed powder... so i grabbed those, being my
usual favorites by Stila, and then she kept wandering
around the store looking for something... when i asked
her what, she said she wanted to find me a complete
set of "summer" make up... i have a blush, and obviously
face basics including tinted moisturizer, pressed powder,
eyeliner, mascara, and countless eye shadows... but she
wanted to find me a lip gloss and lipstick, and she straight
up wandered over to NARS which is notorious for their
their blush called "orgasm" and their other promiscuous names.
and the two she picked out for me were "sexual healing" and
"orgasm", the first being lipstick and the second the lip gloss.
my mom cracks me up sometimes. i feel like me just letting
her be is allowing her to use me as her dress up doll. and
if that keeps her happy and keeps me happy, i am not going
to object in the slightest way. it's a win-win, whichever way
you look at it.

well, off to work.
my last day is officially June 15.
and i am excited.

i love you all dearly.
