"Nobody puts baby in the corner"

Can I just say that I am very sad today over the loss of Mr. Patrick Swayze aka "Johnny!" I feel like a good part of my childhood, and even now, has revolved around this man moving his hips and throwing Jennifer Grey into the air. Sad. Tragic. I know we all saw it coming but still... I believe it is a big loss. I called my Mom this morning to talk to her about it - She was the first person I thought of when I heard about this this morning while eating my Cheerios which I literally choked on! Mom and I use to listen to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, on TAPE, in the car all.the.time. I have the songs on my IPod now - yeah! I can't wait for the day when I will get to share the world of Patrick Swayze with my daughter and try to get my son to dance just like him! Be on the look out people, Katie, at the age of 40 will be flying into the air! I'm glad you had a very full and active life!

Now, I have a question? Do any of you guys ever feel rushed when you are waiting in line at a store and then you begin to get flustered? I am one of those people that I absolutely hate being the person that is "holding up" the line. It makes me nervous and honestly, it embarrasses me. Silly, I know, but still. Well last night after spending an HOUR AND A HALF at the DPS trying to pay my $10 to get my "duplicate license" that I "lost" aka, they didn't process my new address so they sent it to the wrong address and refused to send it back to me at the correct address... Now I am rambling on a tangent. Nope, I'm not bitter. Anyways, after the DPS office I went to Target to pick up some things we needed at the house and to get some birthday items for my boss. When I got to the line my basket was a little full, not too bad so I quickly got everything on the counter before it was even my turn, trying to save time. Well, the first thing the girl (a new girl) scans is the 2 bottles of wine that I had. don't judge me. She asks to see my ID so I pull out the passport I have been carrying around since my birthday since my license is expired and as you know, I don't have a new one. Well, this does not work for her. I explain my situation and she told me she has to have a card that scans. Seriously? She takes my DOB and it locks up the computer. She cannot proceed until a manager comes over to fix whatever. Well, this was a lengthy process - The man behind me, who had only one item (not sure why he didn't go to the open EXPRESS LANE) kept rolling his eyes at me and sighing. Dude, not my fault. I suggested that he go to another line since this was taking so long - nope. Well 10 minutes later, after the manager gave me a VERY and unnecessarily hard time for having my passport (heaven forbid) the checker proceeds with the rest of my basket. I hand her my gift card that I had while she was still scanning, waited, and once she finishes she says "oh, did you want to use this?" referring to the gift card I handed her. No honey, I had no desire to use that card. I was just sitting her thinking wow, since you are doing such a great job and you are so friendly here, have a gift. By this point the guy behind me is tapping his foot at me and I swear he was flipping me off with his eyes. I'm just saying... Well my checker informs me should would have to void everything, go back and scan EACH item again (that's right, including the two bottles of problem child wine) and by then I said FORGET IT. Took my stuff, along with my unused gift card and got the heck out of there!

Just a little bit of irony for you... It takes me a bit to load my car and put the basket up so as I finish up and I am getting into my car, guess who is parked next to me and is having to wait for me to back out so he can? You guesses it, foot tapper. THEN, B wanted Chick-fil-a for dinner so I ran through the drive through and guess who was behind me? Uh huh. Foot tapper. I was so tempted to order the entire menu just so he would have to wait again! HA! But I was starving so I just let it go... hugs not drugs my friends. Just remember that.

So... is it Friday? I want a cookie. (cake)
