So, last week (Tuesday I believe), I found myself pulling into the parking lot to the Government Center. My driver's license was one month away from expiration, so I figured might as well just get the whole experience over with. I carefully chose an outfit that brought me happy memories and made sure my face was freshly powdered. In the past, I have nearly hated my license pictures. My last one from four years ago gave the impression that I had four chins for example and no neck (you think I'm exaggerating...). I avoided looking at it each time I had to pull it out of Kitty (my affectionately and appropriately named card carrier). This is Kitty:
Anyway, I had the nicest lady walk me through the paper work and picture taking experience. She complimented me on how I looked and how natural my smile was. I actually felt good about the whole process for once! What really made my day was the fact that I didn't feel guilty when writing in my weight. That was a first for me. I left hoping the 6-8 weeks for my new plastic card would go by quickly.Last night when I brought in the mail, I was shocked to find my license already there! I ripped open that envelope with the excitement you would expect from a former me (okay, may not that former) on Christmas morning. And guess what! I liked the picture. Woo Hoo! I have one chin and a neck. Who could be happier? ;)
