I finally got my driver's license changed to South Dakota. I had been waiting for a really great hair day but after 6 months I just went ahead and did it anyway.
I went right at 7:30 a.m. to the DMV. It was just me. Fabulous. I give Mr. DMV all my paperwork and then I am told where to stand for the picture.
I stand where he asks and then BAM! He snaps the picture. No warning whatsoever.
Me: "I wasn't ready!"
He gives me "the look".
Listen Dude. I am the ONLY person here. I think you can give me another shot. I have been living with my terrible Minnesota picture for YEARS because there is no way in HELL St. Paul DMV was going to let me have a re-do picture.
Gads.
Why is the DMV always so cranky? And void of humor?
Let's just say the new SD picture isn't great but its better than MN.
*sigh*
You should see my passport picture. EMBARRASSING.
I almost posted the passport picture on here and then thought . . .
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
When we got our passports in the mail, I was super excited and hurriedly ripped open the package.
Only to stare in complete horror.

Boyd asked what is wrong.
I hand him the passport.
And . . . . he started LAUGHING HIS HEAD OFF.
At least he had the decency to not say "it isn't that bad".

We had a lovely Labor Day weekend. Candy and Kevin came to visit. They were our friends/neighbors in Minnesota. They have 3 boys. 2 of them are 1 year old twins. Amazing. My head was spinning with how they were able to change diapers so quickly.
Boyd and Kevin went fishing. Candy and I went on walks.
Boyd also showed off all his toys to Mac (5 years old).

It was low key and lovely.

My facebook sabbatical did not last long. The first week was actually kind of nice but then I started to feel out of the loop. So. I'm back on Facebook. However. If you bother me, you will be "hidden".
Consider yourself warned.

I stopped by Sister1's house to pick up the boys for pizza in the park with Boyd.
G and O are ready and in the car waiting.
Oli informed me he isn't ready because he has to poop.
Me: Okay . . hurry up!
Oli: Will you be my wiper?

Fall is in the air. Supposedly football is in the air too. And politics. UGH.
Brother2 has been glued to the TV all night (for the football - - not the politics).

So did the SD DMV let you retake your picture? They let me and there were even other people there! After the first pic, I asked if I could see it and they let me - I was shocked! I expressed (verbally, non-verbally or both) that I did not like it. I can't remember if I asked to have it retaken or if he offered to retake it but I got it retaken and it looked much better; I actually like my DL pic! And he wasn't even cranky about it - I must have been having a great hair day!!
ReplyDeleteI made Walgreens retake my passport photo; now she was cranky!! My necklace was crooked and I'd have to see that pic for TEN years!! I haven't sent in my application yet but being the photo looks good, I am assuming it will look good in my passport also!
