Security and Bread knives

Ok so your all probably wondering what the title of this post is all about. Well I'm about to tell you...

As many of you know spring break has come and is almost gone already... (very sad).  I had a list of things to get done that was a million miles long, and one of them was getting a new military ID (ugh).... this process takes FOREVER. Let me tell you, the reason for this "fun", I need medical insurance and I was kicked off my daddy's insurance because I got too old. Well thanks to loop holes in the system I can be reinstated on his plan IF I give them a bunch of paperwork ( my favorite thing ever..NOT) lol.. and wait for HOURS.

Alright enough with all this now on to the story......

ok So I woke up really early to get ready to drive to the reserve base near me(about 35 min. away). I get to the gate and the guard stops me of course and asks for ID and then asked why I was coming on base, I told him why and he was very skeptical, I gave him ID and tried to convince him I wasn't a terrorist, but he seemed to think I was or something...lol. Anyway his partner went back to the guard house and made some calls... she then proceeds to call him aside and give him a word or two. Then he comes back over to scared little me and says "ma'me we are going to have to search your car" I was like oh dear my cars a mess.... then he said "open all your doors, compartments, and your hood and trunk".  I was kind of nervous I never had anyone search my car before.

Then it hit me I was like oh NO ... did I take the machete (big knife thing) out of my car and the baseball bat?.. lol.. yeah I keep strange things in my car. After having a SLIGHT panic attack I came to the conclusion that I had removed said items from my car. Thank goodness... but THEN... I remembered that I still had a "weapon of mass destruction" (as my man said when I told him this story).. mmm I love him....that weapon was in fact a simple kitchen bread knife (serrated for extra measure) :)  then I had a little panic again thinking OH NO what if they find it under my floor mat ?? what will I tell them?  I tried to stay calm... (I would never make a good spy or anything you can read my like a book ).  The man with the M4 kept searching and the lady asked "do have anything to hide?"  I was like no of course not. well the guy looked under all the rugs except the one the knife was hiding under imagine that.. and I sighed with relief when he came back over to me and said ok she's all clear she can go. I was like HALALUYA !!

I got in my car and shakily drove toward the building that I would spend the next 4 HOURS waiting for some little ID card... Note to self ALWAYS bring homework with you cause you never know when you'll be waiting a LONG time for something. After forever and a day I was finally on my way out the door with a brand new hot of the press military ID. I was pretty happy at that point cause that means I have medical insurance until I"m a little bit older aka 1 year.. until they kick me off for good... the guy who gave me the ID was kinda like well just marry a military man and you won't have this problem... and I was like I plan to sir thank you very much.

So that is my story sorry if it was too long and boring.
anyway I'm off to bed now because I have an INSANELY busy day tomorrow( or today) with homework and possible skype date with my man!!! YAY !!!!!! I haven't seen his face in over 4 months or so I really hope I can see him.
Thanks for reading my craziness friends, more stories to come.

A day at the mall

          I had a VERY eventful weekend. My little sister came to visit me. I thought it would be fun to go to the mall and she had a coupon to one of my favorite stores so off we went.  While at the mall we had some adventures :) the first one happened over lunch, have you ever noticed that mall food is GROSS and EXPENSIVE !?? .   Anyway we went to saboro pizza and each got a slice. First they just slapped my sisters piece onto a plate and I kindly said that we didn't want COLD pizza and I told them to heat it up. The clerk rolled their eyes and proceeded to put our pizza in the oven.  Within a few minutes our pizza was being handed to us except mine was missing something ... my slice of pizza had  BITE out of it !!!    

           After that we shopped a little more and headed to the car. Low and behold my car wouldn't start !.. of course stubborn girl that I am didn't call for help right away I tried to start my car quite a few times first ... then I flagged down to guys in the parking lot that I THOUGHT they might possibly have some knowledge about cars...sadly I was mistaken, and these dudes barely knew what a battery was. They tried jump starting the car but it didn't work so they gladly said goodbye.

         After a short while later and many more attempts it still wouldn't start.  Then a nice lady came up with her little blue VW with her twin boys they were SO cute !!  The nice lady tried to help by jumping again, but it still wasn't starting. (someone I know said my car is just as stubborn and I am) imagine that ..lol When the starting thing didn't work she packed us like sardines in a lil can and drove us to a parts store where I bought a new battery (hopping that would fix all my problems) wrong again... we got it back, installed it and still nothing. At that point I called peoples what can I say the whole trying things on my own wasn't working to well and it only accomplished getting me 75 dollars in the hole.  Finally we got home after my car was smacked with a hammer, I was so tired and did some homework and went to bed.
        I don't want to see the mall for a VERY long time.
