27 and can't get a drink

Erik and I hardly ever get time alone together and since Gabriella was spending the night with Erik's parents in San Diego, we were both really excited about going out to dinner. Erik birthday was on Tuesday and mine was Thursday so it was a perfect time to go out and celebrate. I was so excited to sit down and have a few drinks, just the two of us. So, we sit down at BJ's and I order a martini and the waitress asked to see my ID. I hand it to her and she takes a really long time giving it back. I just cut my hair really short so I assume she is making sure it's me when she says "I'm sorry but your licence expired yesterday, do you have a new one?" WHAT?!?!?! I told her no and that I didn't know it was going to expire and she says that she is really sorry but she can't serve me any alcohol. I know it was my fault but come on, it expired YESTERDAY and I am 27 years old. I was so bummed. Our first night out in months and I have to drink water. We order an appetizer and decide to leave since the mood was pretty much killed. Erik pays the bill and the waitress tells me again how sorry she is, whatever bitch, lol. We decide to stop at Ralph's and get some dessert and a bottle of wine. I guess I should be happy since the martini I was going to order was $7 and a bottle of Beringer is on sale for $4.99. Looks like I need to go to the DMV......yipee!
