On Friday, I went to work and I called my mother and she launched into her litany of questions. "Have you heard from any of your ex-boyfriends?" I was like umm, No. She was like good I was hoping that you hadn't heard from the last two. She proceeds to go into her litany of post break up analysis on the cookie monster. She goes on to say that she is upset with me about the way that things ended. That she thinks that I didn't play it "cool" with him. She works me up to a fit and makes me cry.

So I get over it and we talk a couple times after that. This morning we talk about it again because the cookie won't go away. My online dating profile was deleted yesterday, and he proceeds to request my regular im name over yahoo, which we had talked over. I think he requested me because I have made myself always appear "off-line" to him. I tell her about this development, and we launch into a full blown discussions. Here are some great quotes from the convo:

"I think you should let him im you if he wants to because then you might feel better about yourself."
"Maybe he'll apologize for the way he treated you, and then you can get closure."
"I wish you weren't so bitter."
"When did you get so stubborn. Things aren't always black and white."

Suffice it to say that I gave it to her with both barrells. I was like the ONLY reason you're having this conversation is because you met him. She then goes on to say that maybe he has some single friends. I was like um. No he doesn't, and that is just ridiculous. It didn't work out with me and SB but dude you should hit that. I don't think so. Then she goes into a discussion about how if I had met him before I met SD that I would have been cooler. I said I don't doubt that you're not right, but I did learn my lesson. My response to her when she said that I would "feel Better about myself." I am a catch mom, despite whatever it is that you think about me.

She then launches into the of course I think you're catch, etc.... speech.

This was not a great way to start the day off.
