Well, it finally happened.
I changed the name on my license to Atwell.
A few months back I made the social security card switch. It was an easy process, so I crossed my fingers and hoped the license switch would go just as smoothly.
I called to find out what all I needed to bring to not only get my lost license replaced {because sometime during or after our move I lost my license}, but also change my name on said license.
After getting all the documents together this morning I decided I would go ahead and take care of it today. The only problem was that I hadn’t had a shower and wasn’t planning on getting one until this afternoon after my run. So just to be sure I wouldn’t be pictured in my scrub look, I called and asked if I would have my picture taken or if they would use the old one.
My friend Alan told me they would just be using my old one.
So off I went in a baseball hat, puffer vest, and a few swipes of mascara.
And thankfully everything went smoothly. I had all my documents. They didn’t charge me for the update. And just as I was getting comfortable in my chair, the attendant told me I needed to look at the camera.
Sayyyyy what???
But Alan said I wouldn’t have to have my picture taken!
She then explained, the computers won’t let them out of the system if they don’t take a picture.
Noooo! It was like I had gone to school and forgot it was picture day! Except I really didn’t forget, but rather someone had lied to me! {And I would have never looked like this at school!!!}
So in a moment of panic, I asked if I could go to the bathroom to at least try to fix my hair, which hadn’t been washed or dried properly in about 36 hours and was currently under a baseball hat. My hairstylist sister is probably cringing.
I went into the bathroom took off the hat, gave my hair a quick fluff, pulled it half back, and realized it looked like I had a mullet.
Not good. So back in a pony it went. {Still not good, but not a mullet.}
And about two minutes later, through gritted teeth and sleepy eyes, I had my first Atwell picture i.d.
Thanks for all your help, Alan. You got me good.
LOL! I think it looks fine! At least you’re wearing pretty earrings 😉 Without knowing the story, I think the pic looks rather classy, actually.
