O/T: Renewed Driver License
Hi, all. Little O/T, but I thought I'd share this as I was surprised.
Last year, when I had to renew my driver's license, I was issued one that expired one year later, due to my work permit status. This time, as I have my GC, and have to remove the conditions early next year, my card expires in June 2006, I thought my new license would be valid for only one year due to that fact. Lo and behold, a week after going to the DMV and only a half-hour wait (this time scheduling an appt, as last year I didn't, and I waited 8 hours and learned a harsh lesson!) I got my new license, and it's valid for 6 years!!! Woo hoo!!!! Just hoping they haven't made a mistake!

Seem to have forgotten your bio. FWIW, I thought you were a Brit. You're cantankerous enough to be!!

Yes, next month. I was just planning on getting a haircut, but my mum decided that she wants to go to Gracelands and suggested the two of us go for my birthday. Still researching airfares & stuff, so I don't know just yet. Kate. xxx
