My blog looked real lonely and plain, soooo I decided I'm going to write an entry. I'm going to use this entry to rant a little bit... because I can :)

1. Barack Obama's inauguration - thoughts and feelings of my own and of others.
2. My bad lunch experience

1. Today, we witnessed history as we welcomed our first African American President to office. I really wish I would have gotten to watch it live, but unfortunately I had class and that wasn't an option. Anyway, I got to catch up on the footage when I got back. Despite Obama's little "slip" when swearing into office, I thought everything went great. I thought he delivered a great speech that was very optimistic and enthusiastic. Our country does need change, and I am very excited to see what follows. However, I got a little upset about a comment one of my friends made after his speech. One of my friends said he hopes that Obama's "slip" when swearing into office isn't his only mistake. Regardless if you support Obama or not, I don't think anyone should ever hope that the President of our country "messes up." I mean, really?! That's just very ignorant, and, sorry to say, just plain stupid. I'll admit, I was not a supporter of Bush but I never "hoped" he would mess up. He was leading our country, and although I might not have completely agreed with him, I was always optimistic and still trusted that he would NOT "mess up" and would lead our country the best he could. I thought that was everyone's attitude. Feel free to share your thoughts.

2. My bad lunch experience.
I was in a hurry for lunch today and needed to get home, so I went to Jimmy Johns for lunch today for the first time in a while. I loooove Jimmy Johns, so I was real excited (I know, I'm a nerd. Who gets that excited for JJs?). Anyway, I ordered my usual - #4, no sprouts, with cheese. As usual, they were fast and I was out the door five seconds later. Starving my butt off and soo excited for my Turkey Tom, I got home and unwrapped the sub and opened it up - gotta check for sprouts just in case. Well, I did find sprouts on it and thought, "no big deal, maybe they didn't hear me say no sprouts." But when I moved everything around a bit, I realized THERE WAS NO TURKEY. Really?! :( I had a sub with mayo, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sprouts. No offense to any vegetarians out there, but that's just sick (to me). But seriously... I had a turkey-less Turkey Tom! :( I didn't have time to go back and get a new sub, so after sitting there in confusion for a good five minutes (and after literally picking apart the whole thing thinking that maybe I would find turkey hidden somewhere), I had to use my own turkey. I laughed about it later, but it was a really sad lunch for me, and my deli-section-Pick n Save-turkey-Turkey Tom sub will never compare to the real Jimmy Johns #4. I hope you all had a better lunch than I did :(
