Officially a PA Resident

Well, I did it, folks! I'm officially a PA resident. It happened. I was stressing like crazy about passing the eye test (poor McGee had to hear me obsess about that for weeks...), because I'm about a year late getting my exam and definitely need an updated prescription. I stress about the oddest things sometimes... BUT, I'm happy to say that I passed the eye test (it was like a 5 second test...), and received my temporary PA driver's license. We got there pretty early this morning (about 15 minutes before the DMV opened), and it ended up only taking us 30 minutes from start to finish once we got inside. Not too shabby! And they only gave me a temporary license (it's valid for 15 days), because they have to run my picture through facial recognition software before they'll give me the real deal. I took a picture of my new license, but I cut off most of it (address, DL number, etc) because I don't really want that stuff on the internet...

I look extremely pale and washed-out (and I kind of just AM really pale and washed-out in real life...), but I'm hoping the actual picture will be a little bit darker (notice the bright red "TEMPORARY" across the card?)

After that, we ran over to the Tags place to get my title and registration (yep, you have to go someplace other than the DMV for that stuff here...), and we got that all taken care of too!  So, I have a driver's license (temporary) and my license plate and registration. Now I just have 10 days to get my state inspection and my emissions test... and then I'm all done! Whew! It's tough to become the resident of a new state, and be all legal and stuff. 

McGee and I also ran a bunch of other errands, and were quite productive today! I also got a menu planned out for most of the week and we got groceries, so hopefully this week we won't resort to getting takeout like we have been doing a lot lately. Now, it's still pretty early, and we're all done for the day! We're treating ourselves to some movie-watching and drinks (Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA for McGee, and a rum-based mixed drink made by McGee for me!). We're starting our evening by watching Cool Runnings (confession: I have NEVER seen it... McGee was quite shocked and disheartened), and then after that I think we might give the show House of Cards a try, since EVERYONE seems to be obsessed with that show right now! 

And, just so you have something cute to look at, here's ANOTHER picture of Guinness sleeping. Happy weekend, everyone!!
