I don't know why I don't just change this to "Rant of the Month" I never remember to write one every week. Anyway, here's the update on my life as of late...for all you care.

I STILL hate my life as of late.

Besides that...uhm...we got a water cooler so now theorhetically I have no excuse for not drinking enough water. I still have a job. And there's a STUPID BIRD OUTSIDE MY WINDOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE MY PHONE!!! I hate that bird...

Anyway, you all came here to hear my rant about Chicago.

Well, tough I'm going to Rant about Indiana and throw in a snippet about War Protesters at the end.

Well so we're in Indiana to go to my husband's great aunt's 100th birthday party. It was something. There were people waiting in line for three hours to talk to here. It was REALLY something. We served cake, I was cold. Actually I don't think I was warm the entire trip. I think I warmed up when we got back to Arizona.

And why don't they sell gloves anymore in February? Not even little ones? I just wanted a stupid pair of gloves because I come from STUPID ARIZONA and didn't have a pair and they don't even SELL THEM IN FEBRUARY. I finally found a freakish department store that had some little clearance sets on sale and I got one of those but...IT'S FEBRUARY! It's like 100 below outside! They should be selling stupid gloves until stupid APRIL in the midwest.

Freaks.

And so we had the party and we decided to go to Chicago by train from Indianapolis.

Amtrack has ONE train that went from Chicago to Indianapolis. It leaves at 5. In the MORNING. So...since we were an hour away from Indianapolis we left at like stupid TWO in the STUPID morning. And so we're waiting in the STUPID station for hours and there's NOONE there and I burned my tongue on the STUPID chocolate from the stupid vending machine.

*breathe breathe*

And so I slept through my first train ride.

And we got to Chicago. And it was COLD.

And I slept through most of my first day in Chicago.

Oh and about the war protestors...

The news story about the protestors opened with the little corner picture of a guy holding a sign saying "war is bad."

The last clip they played in that segment had a person holding a sign saying "can't we be more creative."

If that's intentional that's pretty clever. If it's not they're just....

Freaks.
