Jey's Reciepts: Late but hoping for a mark

Receipt 11
So we’re on our way to an special even at the infamous metro nightclub, it’s a buddies birthday so it should b a really good night. On our way to the club Jen realized that she had left her precious coverstick at home; and the she just went ballistic. Apparently the girl cannot go anywhere without having her precious make up fully done. She wouldn’t stop bragging about it. After a plenty of conversation we managed to convince her to forget about it, but on our way to the club and when we thought everything would be fine she spotted a Shoppers Drugmart!! The girl almost caused us to crash into the oncoming traffic when she took a sharp left turn into the store’s parking lot. After running around the store for a while she finally found some cheap coverstick that would do her just fine, and we also forced her to buy us some gum :).

What a drag, another Sunday is coming up which means my mothers annoying coffee meeting with her friends will take place once again. It’s weird to be around when she has these “meetings”, hence they’re a little wacked out and the stuff they talk about is sometimes too much for me to hear. The past few weeks have been pretty rough with school and a few personal problems, hence I was a man on a mission to not let the little get together take place. I raided the kitchen and took all the biscuits , coffee and cream and I hid them in my little secret compartment in my room. Unluckily for me, well she was also a woman on a mission about her get together. Dragged against my will I was forced to accompany her to the store to buy her supplies for her Sunday sacred coffee meeting, so I had no other choice than to buy a handsaw while at it and fix the old pick nick table at the back to keep me away from hearing their chit chat.
