this explains so much

a conversation i had with my mother today:

me: i was going to deposit my entire tax return into my mutual fund for savings, but i decided to take $200 from it and buy work clothes and then put the rest into savings
mom: yes! you should absolutely NOT deposit it all into savings and you absolutely SHOULD spend some on clothes & whatever else you want

this is the same woman who told me to take a semester off college and just ski. true story.

Ha ha! I love it! Sounds eerily similar to conversations I've had with my mom, too.

"You need to put on more makeup, and DEFINITELY more lipstick!"

and . . .

"Roll up those shorts! Too long!"

There are many more, but you get the gist. I love the idea of taking off a semester to ski--that's fantastic!

Hahaha! You're mom sounds a lot like my mom. When I was a senior in high school, she was frustrated with me for taking a bunch of AP classes. :)
