Need a good laugh?

My driver's license has expired, so I have to re-take the driving tests. Yes, both the written and the actual driving part. I got a book today that is about 4 times as thick as when I first took it 13 years ago. All of my nightmares that I had as a teenager are back...there is going to be some guy riding in the car with me watching to see if I signal 100 ft before my turn, and making me parallel park...uuggghhh! To make matters worse, I am trying to get it done quickly because Hope and I are trying to go to Pennsylvania and DC with John next Thursday, and I have to have a license to get on the plane. Oh, and I have to get a new social security card before I can take the driving test because I never legally changed my name when John and I got married. Still, not done. I have to drive to the airport to get our marriage license out of the car that John took to the airport before I can go get a new social security card. There, did you get your comedy relief for the day? I am still waiting to find the humor in it myself, but Jennifer assures me it is funny.

Drivers license update

For all the inquiring minds who want to know (Heather)...the drama continues! So, I thought I could beat the system by driving to Texarkana and renewing my Arkansas driver's license first, then going to the DMV here and swaping it out for a Texas driver's license without having to take the driving test. So, I went to Texarkana, and they said there was a block on the computer because the name on my driver's license doesn't match the one with my social security card. They gave me a 60 day extention from the expiration date. So now it expires on Tuesday. I went to get a new social security card with my birth certificate that my dad overnighted me (thanks Dad! Yes, I know it cost 15.00 to overnight it and I am very sorry! Love you!) Because John and I have been married for more than 4 years, I have to have another form of identification with my maiden name. Besides my birth certificate or my marriage license. Why would I have any old ID cards with my maiden name? So I am still working on that. So then we go to the DMV to trade out the drivers' license. No problems. They look at my stuff, take my picture, I take the vision test, and she hands me a temporary license. A temporary license? Who has heard of that? She says they will mail me my license in 2 weeks, but I have to surrender my Arkansas license now. I explain that we are flying this week, so I can't wait 2 weeks. She gives me my Arkansas ID back and takes back the temporary one. I also explain that I didn't realize that was process because in Arkansas, you are given your license there on the spot. She quickly shot back "Well, this ain't Arkansas." Yes, I know, Texas is sooo much better. Right.
