Thank god, my mom does my taxes. Seriously, I’m not sure how I’d even begin to go about that. Since, I don’t have an income, my mom mainly does it as a part of her since I qualify as a dependent since I am a full time student. Without her, I’d probably have to call a raleigh accounting firm to give me tax assistance. I can only imagine how much they would charge to do it for me. Being an adult sucks. 
Before Mother’s Day I had come up with an idea to get my mom a spa package for the occasion. When we mentioned to her that we had a gift in mind, she decided that she wanted a new necklace with all of our pictures on it. Since, it wasn’t a bad idea we went with it. However, we wanted something to be able to give her for Mother’s Day as getting the necklace would take some time. My brother wanted to get her chocolate covered strawberries but we’ll bet that she’ll eat them all and since she’s on a diet, it wasn’t a good idea. I wanted to get an edible bouquet flower arrangement but we don’t have one of those locations around here. Instead, we got her a card, made her dinner and enjoyed a Happy Mother’s Day. 
People drive me nuts when they try to lecture me on smoking. What they don’t understand is that it’s a personal choice and it’s not like I’m polluting their lungs. Get over it. I’m sick of people who think they have the right to judge me about it when they are off destroying their livers or worse, smoking pot. How is that any different? You can smoke weed but I can’t smoke cigarettes. It’s not like it’s a cigar. Those smell bad but I don’t judge people for smoking them. To each their own, is my motto.
I spent all day cleaning Zack’s room with my mom. The kid had so much garbage hidden in every crevice I wanted to cry. How does one child make so much of a mess on his own? More importantly, what the hell does he do when I send him up to clean his room. With every bit that we pulled out my mom and I wanted to cry. Seriously, I think we should start making trophies from AwardsForAnything.com for the children keeping their rooms clean. I’ve seriously run out of all other ideas. They just don’t listen or care.
We don’t venture into downtown Scranton although it’s only a few blocks away. It’s definitely not a shopping district type of city. Not to mention, it’s entirely avoidable since you can get pretty much anywhere without heading down there. When we do, though, I take pride in knowing The Office is set in our fine city. Despite what they try to convince you of, Scranton is not in the middle of nowhere. There’s plenty around and when Dwight made a mention of hitting a bear en route from the office (based in the heart of Scranton) to Coopers, literally 5 blocks away, it ticked me to know that they are trying to claim that there are any woods or trees, let alone wildlife, in Scranton. Scranton isn’t nearly as big as NYC or even Philly but it’s a city nonetheless. We have metal buildings and old buildings, parks, malls, business offices, etc. It’s a city. I have lost count of the untrue things said on The Office so don’t let it discourage you from visiting us.
