A Not So Bad Hair Day:
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Today thank goodness was not such a bad hair day… With my birthday coming up, it was time to renew my drivers license. I tried to do it on line, but nope. I had to go in. It’s like they want you to sign over your life. You have to bring in your birth certificate, social security card, 3 pieces of mail with your address on it (no longer than 60 days old), your marriage license because your name is different from your birth certificate, and if you’ve been married more than once, your first marriage certificate (because that has your maiden name on it), your divorce papers, and your current marriage license as it had your ex husbands last name on it. Have I lost you yet?? Ha ha… Then just to be on the safe side I brought in Don’s death certificate. I figured if I didn’t have that, it would be the one thing they wanted. Lo and behold that’s the only thing they didn’t want. All this because of 9/11. Life was so different. The good news is even though they moved I found them. Yeah for me. Ha ha… I won’t have to go through all that again for another 8 years. Phewww…
The best news is that you know how your drivers license pictures are always horrible and look like bad mug shots, well, mine came out half decent. I was shocked that I didn’t hate it.. It’s either shock or the fact that the older you get the more you care less about it. Ha ha…
Now all that’s left of the birthday nonsense is getting my tag renewed. And I will remember to put on the sticker. I had never does this before Don died, so when I renewed my tags, I just stuck the paper in my glove compartment. That’s weird that it’s called a “glove compartment”. This is Florida….No one wears gloves… And then again even if it was cold, wouldn’t you be wearing your gloves and not keeping them in a compartment in your car? Hmmmm. Something to ponder… Oh yeah, so like I was saying, I put the paperwork in the glove compartment ( it still baffles me). I had 3 years worth of papers with the stickers attached in there. Didn’t realize I had to put the sticker on the license plate.. And no one ever stopped me for it. Guess I was lucky. Will get that done in the next few days.
Well, that’s about it for now. Glove compartment, who’d a thunk it…..
Until next time.
Restarting per request..

It’s been a long while since I have written on my blog. Nicole misses it so I decided to write today. It is nice this morning, but will be hot (in the 80’s) again today. Waiting for the cooler temperatures. Sure do wish we would have snow here.
I have read many books since the last entry. All 3 of the “50 Shades of Grey” books. There was a really good love story in there. I have read lots of others but can’t remember the titles. I will have to keep track again. Ha ha
My latest obsession, besides crocheting, is pinterest. I can spend a lifetime on there. Ha ha. It would take me being about 300 years old to do everything I have pinned. My favorite are the quotes and the dogs and the crafts and the recipes and well, just all of it. Ha ha..
I saw a recipe, and I use that term lightly, for popcorn. It seemed easy enough so I tried it. I couldn’t fathom making popcorn without oil. The recipe is
POPCORN IN PAPER BAG
½ cup of popcorn kernels
Paper bag
Microwave
That’s it. You put the popcorn kernels in the brown paper sandwich bag. Fold the top down twice, and place standing up in the microwave. Microwave it for 3 minutes (mine took less than 2 minutes). The bottom came apart slightly (enough to have some kernels to clean up in the microwave). It came apart at the seam. Next time I will double bag it. I was so surprised at how fluffy and good the popcorn came out. I will be making it again today with the double bags.
I go tomorrow for my drivers license renewal. I liked it better when we could do it online. Now since 9/11 we have to go in and bring all this paperwork with us. I hope my eyes can read the chart. HA HA. I know my hair will be a mess as it got so long and needs to be cut and have low lights put back in. Hey, it’s a drivers license photo. They never look good. Maybe I should google how to pose for your license picture. HA HA..
Until next time……………..
