Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

Back in 2002 my boyfriend's mother signed at a Rooms-to-Go furniture outlet in Georgia for a new bedroom and livingroom suit for us as a couple that totaled roughly, $6600.
I did not sign my name to the contract.
In 2004 things did not work out with my then boyfriend and I moved back to Missouri with our two children. Now, in 2010 I get a letter in the mail from his mother stating that I owe her $3300 for my share of the furniture - which I do not even possess and haven't since I moved from him in 2004.
She claims that I made a notion to start repaying her as a gesture of good faith. She even drew up a promissary note which had a schedule of payments and the amounts. Does this case hold water - or do I just dismiss it?
And furthermore, would this be considered under Georgia Law -which is where it took place- or under Missouri Law - which is where I live now?
The statue of limitations are very different for these two states.

If you signed promissory note you owe her the money. The language of the note and where it was signed affects the state.

If you didn't sign the promissory note, I'd tell her to go fly a kite.
