Well, I had a crappy day on the market. So I feel like drinking a glass of wine and writing. Are you ready? Free association-- you can be Dr. Freud- I hate when 18 year old storeclerks pretend that I need to show them an ID. HATE it. "are you sure you're old enough to buy this?" they ask coyly. Now I am willing to listen to you say, damn, Rambi, you sure look hot for a 50 year old woman, and I'll even believe you, because of course, I DO look hot for a 50 year old woman, and you are a horny 50 year old man, so it is conceivable that you think this, but I do NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, look under 21. Helen Keller would not mistake me for a 21 year old. Much less a kid the age of my own. Aren't you cute, I say, teeth clenched. Now give me my damn beer. I have never tried using Dan's ID. He is balding, 6'2 and weighs over 200 pounds. I'm afraid they'll say, Nice likeness. Let's see, what else can I complain about. Oh I know. Here's one. Part 2 of my battle against the graduation ripoff. I ordered 10 graduation announcements. Relatives, 2 friends, and one in case I ever do a scrapbook, which is unlikely, but makes me feel like a good mother. I did NOT order those stupid little namecards. You have to order 100 minimum. CW did and he has 994 left. However now I see that the invitations are generic. And they have these little slits that you're supposed to put your card in so these people know who is announcing the graduation and they can send money, which, let's face it, is the whole POINT of this asinine exercise. And it is too late to order, so I bought some heavy paper and typed Ammo's name on it and cut it out. Instant business card. I feel cheap. And mad. Ammo said he thought it was funny. But I am mad that you have to do all this stuff. I ignored the printed return addresses, and the framed invitation, and we did the minimum in pictures. People spend hundreds of dollars on this stuff. I am soooo angry because I saved CW's stupid green robe and cap. And smugly said, I don't need to order that. Yes you do, they said. NoI don't. I have one from two years ago. Haaahaahahahah, they said., We changed the shade of green. Your son won't match. So? Maybe he's different becuase he's the president. Like the time I forgot my red cheerleading pants and the football team thought I was the head cheerleader because My panties were white. And wasn't Betty Stuart XXXXXX, head cheerleader pissed. Anyway, I ordered another stupid cap and gown. 26.95. Now we have 2. Maybe they can be used as bridesmaids' dresses or something. For very fat bridesmaids.
