I was in a wedding this past weekend of one of my very best friends from high school/college. We've had an interesting relationship, to say the least (we got into a huge fight, didn't talk for 2 years, but now things are better than before.) But that's not why I'm writing this. The pictures went up online yesterday from her wedding from the photographer. Naturally, I look at all of them, but I enlarge the ones that I'm in. Ya know, to look it over, criticize, etc. MY GOD did I criticize. I don't know if it was the sun, the misdirection of the photograher, or the fact that he was right in my grill, but you can see every wrinkle on my face. Now I am only 25, so they're not that bad, but in this picture, they look awful. So, sort of jokingly, sort of serious, I call my mom up and tell her that I want botox for Christmas. She says absolutely not, I'm too young, blah, blah, blah. She acts like botox is the worst thing ever. This coming from the woman who's had just about every procedure done in the book. Nothing wrong with that, but c'mon now mom?? Remeber when.....
Anyways, we hang up, she goes and has a few glasses of wine, and decides to call me back 2 hours later to lecture me on the negative effects on plastic surgery, and what I should and shouldn't be doing with my money. This came out of left field. Needless to say, we had words, she said she has the "right" to lecture me, and that as my mother, basically, she is the boss. She didn't use the word "boss," but I know my mom, I know where she was going with this. I flipped out a little, and then she told me we weren't going to finish this conversation until I had calmed down. Then she hung up on me. I didn't mention that this was the second time during the conversation she'd hung up on me. I didn't call her back this time. I have no intention of calling her back, because I don't think I did anything wrong. I'm going to be 26 in a month, my mom has lost the right to "lecture" me or be my "boss."
Sorry for the vent, but I need some advice. Anything??

damn shan. sorry to hear about your and Jeannine's fight. 25/26 seems too old to be getting in fights with moms and way too old to be receiving lectures.
Advice is one thing, LECTURES are for mislead youths who forgot to hide their rolling papers.
Too old is true. No fun man.
