Not only is tomorrow my birthday, (*wink* *wink*) but it’s also the day my driver’s license expires. So I made a visit to the DMV today to get it all taken care of. I wore a little more makeup today than usual, though I don’t know why, since I rubbed most of it off blowing my nose (I’ve got a pretty bad cold).

The line at the DMV was pretty short - I only waited about 2 minutes in line, rather than the 30 minutes to an hour that I have before. When I got up there, I also changed my address to my new house. I was then informed that I would have to take the written driving test again.

WHATCHU TALKIN’ ‘BOUT, DMV LADY?!?!?!?

I haven’t taken a written driving test in, like, 10 years. I barely know what I’m doing out there. (kidding!) I hate taking tests, which is why I never did anything past college. I hate school, and I hate the pressure of taking tests.

So there I was, pen and test in hand, contemplating cheating off the other test takers, but realizing that they looked more clueless than I was. I sat down to start, and it wasn’t TOO bad. I had to get 28 out of 35 right. There were a several that I was unsure of, like when to turn off your brights as you’re heading towards another car, or rules when approaching a school bus. I was also stumped by some of the road signs. The look a lot different when they don’t have the words on them! I mean, can you think of what a ‘No Passing Zone’ sign looks like? Exactly.

Fortunately, I only got one wrong. Which one? I’m not going to tell you, in case your children will be riding a school bus anywhere in the neighborhood. Just kidding. My answer for that one was actually too cautious.

So I’ve got my brand spanking new license, complete with a new picture of my big fat head. I don’t know why my head looks so big in the picture, I think the guy zoomed in on me. The picture is all face. Ick.

So stay alert, people. I’m still on the roads.
