2 rants for the day

1. Mike and went to pick up pizza for dinner last night and stopped at the gas station to fill up my car and the hubs wanted to buy a lotto ticket. So he hands me the cash money and I go in to grab the ticket. I didn't even bring my purse in the car because he was driving, but no big deal I've done this a few times. So, I go in and ask the guy for five power ball tickets.


He says, "Okay, are you 18"?

I laugh and say "Yeah".

He says, "Do you have your ID"?

Are you kidding me? I say, "No"

Him "Oh, sorry, I can't sell it to you"

Me, "Um, okay I'll just send my HUSBAND in then"



Mike laughs at me, I hand him the cash, he goes in and comes out 2 seconds later laughing. The guy didn't even ask for his ID. Seriously?! I know I look young and I can understand I probably don't look like I'm 21, but 18?! What makes it worse is that on my 18th birthday I went to buy a lotto ticket. [I was on a track trip in the middle of no where North Carolina] I tell the lady that it's my 18th birthday does she want to see my ID. She looks at me like I'm retarded and was like "No, I don't care here's your ticket"




PS I'm 24.



2. It was announced yesterday that my alma mater would be getting a football team in 2014. Hooray!

I was reading an article about it this morning and then I scrolled through some of the comments and saw this one:

(Sorry its blurry) Is that a joke?! People are idiots!

Rant and Award

Okay, so I'm not a freakish American Idol fan, but I have watched most of the seasons (except last season for no particular reason - but thank God I didn't because Adam Lambert was ick last night in my opinion). Anyway, this Aaron kid has got to go. Yeah yeah he's cute and can sing pretty well but he has no idea what he's doing. So you little pre-teans that are obsessed please stop voting because you're sending home better artists- like Andrew!! Alright, I'm done.

On a lighter note, Elizabeth over at I Can't Believe It's Not Dead gave me an award! Thanks lady!

1. I graduated college 2 years ago and I still have yet to do anything with my degree. Sometimes I feel like I failed. Then I get over it and thank the economy for keeping me in this dead-end job. And when I say 'thank' I mean curse.

2. I really want to adopt an Asian baby. They're the cutest.

3. Sometimes I wish my husband was still in the Marines. I hate that I missed out when he was in... tropical island, awesome people and delicious food. Oh well, I'm thankful to have a husband who isn't deployed for the majority of the time.

4. I'm obsessed with Mexican food. No, really ask my husband. I could eat my weight in it.

5. That being said, I would really like to be a vegetarian and, dare I say it, a vegan. I have cut out certain foods and I'm making baby steps. (its hard when your husband insists on having meat every day)

6. One of my goals in life is to run a marathon or 20. I've done the half, but I really need to get my butt in shape for a full.

7. I've had many career aspirations through out my life, but I've never been very career oriented. They include: marine biologist, military, astronaut, doctor, nurse... what? I had high hopes for myself.

8. I'm scared I won't be able to have babies. I only have one ovary, but my Dr. has assured me that I will have as many babies as I want. I think I read too many blogs where woman have issues trying to conceive and my heart always breaks for them.

9. My husband thinks it's really weird I read blogs of people I don't know. I say whatever and continue to read.

10. I love that we have friends around the country thanks to the Marine Corps. Even though I was never stationed with Mike I love that we have an extended family!
