Not-so-blonde Moment

While dining at Chili's last night with Pickle I made the revelation that my driver's license was MIA. I vaguely recalled having it in the back pocket of my jeans last Friday at the Kings game, but couldn't remember putting it back into my wallet, so I'd assumed it was there.

The problem was that no license = no adult beverages at Chili's. Now please keep in mind that I only get carded half of the time, and usually only at places that card everyone. Chili's is one of those places. I did have a photo copy of my license on the back of my gym card AND my license with my maiden name that had expired.

I offered both non-license, licenses to the server (who Pickle and I guessed to be 22) and who then apologized that she couldn't accept my non-licenses (or my wrinkles) as my proof of age, because she could get fired. Sigh...

I lieu of adult beverages we consumed replacement calories in the White Chocolate Molton Cake - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!


BTW, license was later found in a random pocket in my purse. I'm a dork!

It sucks but I just turned 27 in January and I get carded at restaurants and bars but never at casinos.

This past week I have been carded twice when ordering my SECOND drink at the establishment :)

I have not been carded probably the last 4 times I've ordered/purchased alcohol. I'm only 36!!! I don't think I look it! Little pip-squeaks.
