It Took Me a Year?
After my semi-annual dentist appointment this morning (and a lengthy conversation with the hygienist about adoption and infertility, as she is finally pregnant after 4 IVF attempts) I drove to the Secretary of State to get new stickers for our license plates because, you guessed it, they expired today.
While standing in line and writing a check (again, something last minute. Are you sensing a pattern here?) I glanced at my Drivers License and smiled at the great picture. Ah, ten pounds ago. Umm, okay, 15 pounds, but I’m working on it. But, what was horrifying was my address.
It was wrong.
And it took me a year to notice that? Granted, it was only off by one number, er, missing a number. But I never noticed?
So, I walked over to the license department where, miraculously, there was no line. Obviously everyone is out spooking today and is not going to have their picture taken in a devil’s costume. The man I talked to was sweet when I asked him if I had to have my picture taken again. I blushed so nervously that he laughed. You see, I had no make-up on and probably still had tooth polisher stuck in my gums. Thankfully, he took pity on me and told me that I don’t need a new picture because they keep them on file. Whew. No Bride of Frankenstein here.
What have I been doing in the last year that distracted me SO much that I didn’t notice my own address was wrong on my drivers license?
Hmmmm…..
Well, I’ve been trick or treating with ducks and pumpkins, Grounding Ducks, trying to rescue brand new glasses and crocs from the river, sending a dossier to Guatemala, starting an Autism Blog with a bang of a post, contributing to Chicago Moms Blog, starting a domestic adoption when Guatemala closed, chelating AJ, dealing with Pinocchio, and trying to get the lead out and have a HUGE giveaway. And that is just the tip of the pumpkin.
What have you all been doing?
