[[Still A Girly Girl: Jiminy Cricket, Where Art Thou?]]

Jiminy Cricket, Where Art Thou?

It's been a week since I found out that I got the new job, and I still haven't told my mom.

Most of the time my mother and I are very open with each other, but since she got back together with idiot boyfriend (for about the 15th time in a year) she once again can't find time for me and I don't push it.

I started out not telling her because I get some kind of guilty pleasure from knowing that she's missing out on important tidbits about my life because she'd rather spend her waking moments with the beer-swiller. At this point I feel bad for intentionally keeping her out of the loop, but there's really only one way to tell her without her feelings being hurt, and that is to casually mention that I start training next week and then cover it up by saying I told her last Thursday, doesn't she remember? And then she will probably assume that she doesn't remember because she was drunk for most of last week.

I'm not really sure how I'll choose to get out of this one, but the right answer is probably to never have been a stubborn bitch in the first place. After all, I'm the grown-up here, and between me withholding information to spite her and her being too co-dependent to show any interest in my life, I will probably be hurt less in the long run.

The next three movies I will be watching, courtesy of Netflix:

1: Hell House
2: The Girl Next Door
3: The Tao Of Steve
