Growing Up Really Sucks!!!

Just wanted to let you all know in case you didn't already that growing up really sucks! Today I tried to go to the Social Security office to change my name (the first in the long line of tedious tasks associated with getting married and trying to move on with life). I made Austin go with me because it was in a bad part of town, and I wasn't particularly thrilled with going alone. Well, turns out that was a good decision because when I walked in the door, I was the ONLY young person and white person in the whole place. The cop at the desk was super rude, and when we asked how long it would take, he started laughing at us and said anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Like I have time to do that!!!! Here I was trying to save time by going directly to the office and getting it done. But no, that is NOT going to work because they of course are only open from 9 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday. God forbid, the normal working person could actually use government services. What a joke! So now I will go down to the courthouse tomorrow to get a few certified copies of our marriage certificate so I can send it in because a) I don't have the time to take off to sit for 2 hours and 2) I don't want to! Then I'm sure I will have to find time to go to the DMV and sit there forever too. Ugh!!!

And to top it off, now I'm trying to get insurance for my new car and with being married and it's a pain! Stupid insurance people don't like to figure in the fact that I've been accident/ticket free for almost 10 years of driving - they see Mustang and 2005 and freak out! So not cool - so we're trying to work all those details out too.....loving life! Now when the heck can I get a huge raise, promotion, or new job with big money so I don't have to worry about all this madness! In reality, I should just hope that Austin wins a huge lotto since he has good luck - better chance at that than actually getting a break in the workforce! Ha! ;)
