Why thank you Mr. Waiter

Today was stressful. I won't go into detail, it's boring and venting won't solve this issue for me. Suffice to say that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and you keep gettting the same result, you have to stop and learn from it. You have to knock yourself in the head and say, "Enough. This isn't going to change. Give it up."

However, the day was fruitful on another front. I did some shopping and came home with quite a bounty. First and foremost, I believe I have found proper attire to wear on Easter and, here's the clencher, it will also be applicable to work and play. Whew, I am not stuck with a dress I only wear to funerals and weddings.

Next up, I picked up some needles, yarn and assorted books to fuel my knitting habit. As the temperatures rise over the next few weeks, I will be donning a very cool shirt and dandy new flip flops. OK, summer, bring it on! A new Patty Griffin CD topped off my trunk of goodies. What else could a girl ask for?

Food. That's what a girl can ask for.

After unloading my plethora of shopping goodies, Cynical and I went out for dinner. After a stressful day such as this, not even retail therapy was enough to wipe away the frustration, so dinner out and a margarita were sure to do the trick. It only got better: when I ordered my margarita complete with salt, the waiter requested my ID. I was carded. Hey, things are looking up.

You young thang. I remember when I got carded to a R movie when I was 22. I was on a date and it wasn't flattering as I was embarrased infront of my date. :)

I love that you didn't yell at your waiter (not that you ever would). During my stint as a waitress (in hell) people got very annoyed when I would card them...Except for the 50 year old men I carded on a regular basis. Talk about a good tip!
Post pics of your easter clothes! We could have a virtual Easter parade...Our outfits on hangers/laid out on the bed. I could write a sonnet about your easter bonnet.... That's enough.

Were you wearing your hair in pigtails...that would do it for sure.

The only time I'm carded anymore is when I need to show them I belong to AARP!

That would be a good ending to a not so great day!
