Oh what a day yesterday. I had to go spend the day at the DMV to change my name, address and renew my drivers license. I have had a terrible picture for 9 years since I first got my license, so I actually did my hair and showed up to take a new picture. I sped to make it to the DMV on time, kind of ironic. But when I got there all of the computers were down. So I waited an hour or two before they rebooted and then got in line again. Can I just say that the customer service at these types of places is horrendous? After all the paperwork I finally was in the line to take a picture. The lady says step-up, sign your name, give a thumb print, get behind the line- then became perfectly silent. I stood there and smiled for 6 seconds then stepped forward and asked are you going to take it? Right when I stepped forward and blinked of course she took the picture and the flash went off. I was like what can I retake that? And she said no its fine. 3-4 weeks and you will have your new license. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED! I wanted to strangle the lady. But she was a rough black woman from Oakland and I figured she didn't care a bit if I liked my picture. Especially with a huge line behind me.
Next stop take Kc to the Medical Center. He has been sick for 5 weeks. It started as a cough, then developed into a cold, then into flu symptoms. So finally after 4 painful days of not being able to function or concentrate in school we had to see a doctor. 30 minutes later we were told to take x-rays of his lungs and kidneys for further results, but that he definitely had pneumonia. So special. Poor Kc. And now I am sick too.

yes the sickness stuff is sad, but i am here to comment on your drivers license.
I must say, i have had 2 good drivers license pictures, and it is kind of a curse. Well my first one was good, but i looked 100% mexican. So i look like a pretty mexican but not my usual self. Its annoying cause someone sees your license and they are like "thats a great license picture...HEY! (yelling a their friend or coworker) look at how good this license picture is!" it becomes an ordeal, and i guess the moral of this story Molly is, dont hate me cause im beautiful.
drivers' license pictures are the worst. just "loose" this license and then you can go take a new one! poor KC! i hope you both get better soon!
That is the funniest story ever! I went to get a new license once, because I lost my wallet...well, it was stolen. But anyways, I just wanted it to be a quick little trip and so I showed up the DMV and I was totally in a sweatshirt and I didnt do anything to my face or hair. So it dawns on me..holy crap! I have to take my picture! I was so mad at myself for forgetting. Luckily it wasnt long before I met and married Mike. He saved me. Hope everything is going well with KC and school!
So sad. I hate being sick and I hate the DMV!
So Felicity, freshman year. Remember Ben's hottness distracted her from taking a good student id? You know you do! Get better KC.
Dude, not even a count down for the pic... that's harsh! My costco card looks like someone drew my picture on silly puddy, stretched it and then copied it onto my card I'll show it to you - it's awesome! Mizzer I hope you feel better, take it easy and we love you guys.
Feel better my bay area friends. I'd also like to take the time to mention that I've started a blog of my own, and you can view it at http://joelgmonson.blogspot.com.

There is only 1 - ONE - fairly nice DMV in the entire world. It's in North Bend, WA. Nick and I found it by accident when I took him to get his very first license...after I made a scene at the Bellevue DMV after a 3 hour torture session that included waterboarding, (where your tough Oakland woman was trained)and where they specialize in lying to you about all the documents you don't need. Where all 44 clerks look at your child and say, "Your mother IS the axe murderer." Sped out to NB to fool the government terrorists out there and get his license - same day, more, but different torture. They were a skooch nicer, no waterboarding. Ta-da! There were 2 smiley guys. We got the license after 2 more hours, lots of reciprocal smiles, groveling, begging, and only a small scene. I took Erin, KC, and Mark out there for all their licenses...and the smiley guys didn't even remember me! When I laid down the scooter trying to get my motorcycle tab, on the slippery parking lot on a rainy early morning, the new guy actually let me have a do-over!!! The only thing is...no do-overs, EVER, ANYWHERE, on bad card photos. Except at Costco. Where you can't buy just one driver's license - they come in 6-packs. And the cards are as big as a king size pillow. Of course, they also sell wallets to put those new licenses in...
