Another Rockin' Bday

Alas, I am finally getting paid and stuff. Whoo!

So, I turned 24 yesterday, and as I blew out my birthday candles Mike promptly congratulated: "Happy Old!" As I said last year, you're only as old as you feel, and hell, 24 still feels pretty damn young to me bitches. Can't touch this.

I had a wonderful birthday, consisting mostly of just spending time with the family and receiving lots of warm B-day wishes from loved ones. We cooked up a delicious dinner of steaks and corn on the cob (just a few of my favorite things) and finished off the night with sickeningly sweet birthday cake and ice cream. And lets not forget the kick-ass presents, which I adored! I know it's not about the presents and stuff, but whatever, I like presents and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I also had a great 4th of July! Mike surprised me by taking me to a Lugnuts baseball game, which is one of our favorite summertime things to do! They had a fireworks display after the game finished, and I couldn't think of a better way to spend our Independence Day than at a ballpark, eating a hot dog and watching fireworks light up the sky. :)

Work has been fine aside from me being at a different store last week, which recently changed over to the new computer system we're getting soon at my store. It was a little crazy and I'm very happy to be back in Swartz Creek, but the experience did leave me with some pretty good stories. My favorite of which has to be the elderly woman who came to the drivethru asking for money. That's it. She just handed me her driver's license and said, "I'd like some money please!" Man, if Kroger is passing out money, maybe I should get in line. I said this jokingly, and she smiled at me with a sweet, blank sort of stare, at which point I realized she was serious.

"Are you looking for an ATM?"
"You don't give out money?"
"Um... this is a pharmacy. Do... do you have a prescription to pick up?"
"No no, I don't want a prescription! I just want some money!"
"Ma'am... if you don't want any drugs then I can't really help you."

I could think of a few drugs that would help you though.

That sound similar to peaple that come into the credit union asking for money when they don't have money in their accounts. They think we are some sort of money tree or something. I explain that they cant have money unless they have money to take. They get really confused at that point.

Haha, oh I bet you get that a lot too! I guess people don't understand that unless you earn it, no one is going to give you any money. ;)
