Store Mascots

We were at chick-fil-a tonight for dinner and it was (as it always is when my family goes) kids' night. Since it was kids' night there were arts and crafts, balloons and the creepy cow. When the cow takes pictures with kids it's fine and dandy. However when it comes to a table where the youngest person is 16 it creeps me out. He or she (bahhhh see how creepy it is) came over and picked up Matthew's drink and acted like he or she was drinking it and then kept giving me the thumbs up. Why? I just want to eat my delicious chicken and french fries- not have to awkwardly smile at a person dressed as a cow.

I don't like when people ask if I've been able to talk to Zachary recently and I say no, his email has been out for a while and THIS is their response:

"Well, you're lucky they get to email at all... it used to be the wives had to wait for letters."

First of all, I wasn't complaining- you asked and second... when the wives were waiting for letters, the technology was not as advanced as it is now.  So if we wives were still waiting for letters with the technology at the stage it is now, there would be a real, real problem.  However... the technology is there but our world is so messed up that they have to have communication cut off so that they aren't tempted to communicate to us about what's going on on their ship.

I'm going to just start answering, "yep, talked to him yesterday and he's doing great!"

People who can't drive

Okay, I know I'm a really frustrating driver because I go five over the speed limit like it's my religion.  However, at least I know how to follow traffic rules.  Two instances are forcing me to make this post. 

Number one.  Because of heavy traffic to malls and such, the people who design the roads within these areas usually make it to where the incoming traffic doesn't stop because if they did, traffic would back into the main intersection.  SO PAY ATTENTION.  If there's no stop sign- KEEP IT MOVING.

Number two.  I was behind a car in the turning lane to get on the interstate.  The light was green.  They stopped because of someone coming towards the interstate from the other direction.  There was plenty of time for me and probably a caravan of other cars to make it but this person stopped.  The person coming got in their turning lane to get on the interstate in a separate lane from the one I would have been in had the car in front of me learned to drive.  Instead, we had to wait for literally four minutes while an onslaught of traffic went by.  Then the light turned yellow... the car in front of me went at the last second of the yellow light and then I got to wait for the whole cycle to repeat.

People who sing along at concerts

MMmmk.  I hate it when people sing along with the song being performed whether it's sitting in your living room watching American Idol or if you're actually at a concert.  I understand there are times at concerts where the artist asks you to sing along and that's fine and dandy but when you're in a room full of people who have gathered to listen to a person/band perform a song... they don't want to hear YOU sing.

The following songs:

Every Light in the House is On (My least favorite song ever in the world).
Just to See You Smile
Please Don't Take the Girl
The Lazy Song
S & M

To name a few.

Nickelback

I hate nickelback.  That's really all I have to say about that.

Kissing Pictures

I hate it when people post pictures of them and their significant others kissing.  I don't want to see that.  When it's their profile picture, it's the worst.  Like seriously, keep that mess to yourself.
