The roommate is gone!

So yesterday evening around 6:00 my roommate calls and says she can't figure out how to get home from work and would I come get her.

Me: nope, figure it out.
Her: But I'm lost
Me: I drove you there the other day, it's on 400 S, the bus goes up and down 400 S each way. Take 400 S and head west and you'll be home
Her: I'm so confused, come get me?
Me: No, it's not hard, it's 400 S
Her: But I'm lost
Me: You want a ride instead of the bus, but you are an adult and you are not this dumb
Her: But I don't have any money
Me: That is why we made you take that temp job, for money
Her: Well I guess I will just figure it out
Me: Yep

She gets home

Her: Hey, I'm home, I made it
Me:
Her: So I made it home
Me: (I'm silently reading and not looking up in a passive aggressive attempt to let her know I do not care)
Her: Well, I guess I'll just go make some dinner
Me:

Later in the night I ask if she is going again tomorrow. She says probably but that she needs to call about other jobs and "do some stuff". I'm sick of this already and then other roommate, who is friends with her temporary supervisor informs her that our problem roommate is slow and lazy at work and that it is not worth it for them to keep her on, but out of kindness they will just give her odd jobs for the next couple weeks to help her out.

I had already made up my mind to kick her out, but this def added fuel to the flames. So I called her brother said I was sick of telling her to go to work, reminding her of the rent and utility bills she needed to pay, sick of getting asked to give her a ride everywhere, the constant nonsense chatter and mooching and manipulation...he says he'll be right over to get her things that night.

It was a little sudden, but she took it pretty well. :)

Funny, but mostly I make it a point not to talk about people I know on here. This one was a bit different. I knew I'd probably end up telling her to leave. As a side note, I do have another, great roommate still here.

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
