Fact: The day after I saw the mayor, I went to the bank to
sort out debit card issues. The lady at the desk asked for my license and after
investigating it, she looked at me and said, “Do you realize this
expired?”  Excuse me? “It did. Look at
it.” I looked at it and to my horror discovered that it expired IN MAY. I was
in shock. I was mortified. I FELT LIKE A CRIMINAL. 


Fact: I have driven in six states since May.

Fact: Blogging from jail would have taken this blog in a
whole new direction.

Fact: One of the reasons I decided to renew my license in my home
state and not get one from my current state is quite simple. There’s simply NO WAY on earth
I’ll ever again get as good a license picture as the one on that Massachusetts
license. It really is impressive. (I don’t believe I’ve ever said anything
quite so vain.)  

Fact: I just finished putting pictures up on the wall. Despite
my best measuring/penciling/tipping my head to the side efforts, I hammered in
and pulled out each nail twice. At least I have a real hammer this time. We didn’t
have one at our last house (technically we had one but it was in storage and OH
MY GOODNESS HERE I GO WITH TOO MANY DETAILS AGAIN) so I used the bottom of a
glass pepper grinder.  

Fact: Last night Christopher was explaining something to me
and he said, “It’s like the difference in gas consumption between a Prius and
an Expedition.” It’s humorous that he thinks I would know about gas consumption
in different vehicles. All I am generally interested in when it comes to cars
is the color.
