So, here's the thing. All I needed to do was change the address on my driver's license. I was thinking, this surely can't take very long, maybe just submit a quick form and that's it. So, I haven't actually showered yet this morning because I am planning on exercising in a little bit here. I woke up, changed into a Minnesota Vikings pullover sweatshirt and some jeans, pulled my hair into a messy ponytail, and went to the DMV.
Well, I finally arrive and fill out the form and stand in line (I stood in line for a grand total of 2 minutes - it MUST be a DMV record) and when I get to the front she asks if I want to change the license for $13, or if I want to "early renew" for $24. If I change the license, then I need to go back next year to renew it. If I "early renew" then I don't have to go to the DMV for another 4 years. I think the choice is obvious.
So I decide to early renew. But then I realize what early renew means... It means I have to get a new driver's license photo.
Crap.
I could leave and come back again, but I don't want to come to the DMV anymore than I really absolutely HAVE to.
So, I get my picture taken. Wearing a big sloppy sweatshirt (because my belly is too big to wear any NORMAL fitting sweatshirts), with my hair a complete mess, no make-up on, and a fat face because I am 8 months pregnant. AND, she says to me "the camera will flash in about 5 seconds" so instead of standing there smiling for 5 seconds, I decided to count in my head. Well, I got the count wrong, so I am not even smiling.
Basically, I look like a deranged psychopath in my driver's license photo. And I will have it with me for the next 4 years.
I kind of look like this smiley, only much much worse:
That. Is . HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my GOSH! I laughed and laughed and laughed! Holy Crap!!!!!
When we first moved down here I got my photo taken on some TERRIBLE day and I have been embaressed about it for like the last SIX years! But i just got anew one in JANUARY! And the photo was AWFUL! And I had done EVERYTHING i could to make it nice.... but then as I am walking out I realized that I went in for a license with a new name and they didn't chamge my name! So i got to take my picture a second time.... thank goodness!
I want to see a photo of your photo!!!!

It was seriously like the worst day of my life. I look so awful in the picture. I should've known, always always dress up if there is even the *SLIGHTEST* chance that your picture will be taken.
