I’m going nuts. And I know why.
Recently, my good friend from San Francisco invited me to stay with her at the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo for a few days as she was being posted there for work. I’d never been to Tokyo, I’d never been away from Tee and I’d never imagined such a fucking awesome opportunity to spend quality time with a great girl in JAPAN!!!
I said yes immediately, the Hubs took leave and we told Tee that Mommy will come back with lots of toys from Japan. Such euphoria! First, she said she wanted to come along. I seriously considered taking her but the Hubs was against it as I wouldn’t get the break I so deserved then. Secondly, she said she didn’t want toys from Japan, only from KL. Hmm…..Then she sunk into a deep depression and was almost suicidal. Every minute of the day today, she told me that she really, REALLY did not want me to go to Japan. She was dead serious. She was threatening me.
After I called the travel agent to book my ticket, I told Tee I had a surprise for her and that I was not going to Japan after all. I just couldn’t do it. What more, a return ticket was going to cost RM3000. So I thought, well, why don’t I buy a new handbag instead? That way, Tee would be happy and Mommy would be happy. Good deal, right?
Of course, the Hubs is TOTALLY against this idea. My mother, being the sucker that she is, was also against me going to Japan, just because it would break her heart to see Tee cry every night for her Mama. Because we all know that’s going to happen 🙂 So she too agrees that I should get a new handbag, after all, it could be my own birthday gift to myself. 🙂
What say you? New handbag, go Japan or risk being a patient of a drug rehab?

So the next best thing would be to get yourself something nice that you don’t NEED but WANT. Just for mommy. Make sure you get a real nice pricey handbag too. Close to the cost of the trip if possible 🙂
