crazy few weeks

So last week Nick and I watched "Supersize Me." It was a pretty good movie. The guy ate nothing but McDonald's for a whole month and ended up having severe liver damage (as bad as an alcoholic). So we watched the movie, thought about ... then Nick promptly had his favorite midnight snack - ice cream with maple syrup topping.....yes, I live with Buddy the Elf.

After more than a month and a half of searching, we finally got a Nintendo Wii. It is well worth all of the hype. I beat Nick at tennis. It was glorious.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot....I think we're buying a townhouse eek! Well, we basically are....the offer was accepted and we close in the middle of May. It's by far the most expensive thing I've ever bought...kinda freaks me out...but hey, it's the thing to do right :-) It's pretty sweet, granite counter tops....2 stories...2.5 bathrooms...2 bedrooms. Come and visit! But not for at least a few months. Funny...we were only going to go and look....now look what happened!

My day at the DMV

Well it has been a long time since the glorious day at AT&T Park. Today I had a not so glorious day at the DMV. I made an appointment because apparently that is the thing to do. I show up at the DMV and they inform me I need my passport. FINE! I go home and return to the DMV.....now I am appointmentless and among the common folk. Apparently I need a smog test....I thought I had read something online that my amazing Honda Civic VP was exempt from the smog test....I was wrong (as I was informed). So I was suppose to get a CA license and register my vehicle. I couldn't register my car but I could get my license......but FIRST I had to take the written test. So this test is kind of a beast, 36 questions and you can only miss 3 (that's better than 90% for you folks out there). This test really wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be....I wont go into the details of the questions....fortunately I passed, phew! Then hilarity ensued. The woman who corrected my test then proceeded to say the following, "Ok honey, now, this permit allows you to drive as long as you are driving with a licensed adult...." Hold on 1 second. Do I look 15?! I corrected her and my WA state license got a big ol' punch through it :-( I should receive my CA license in 4-7 weeks. Wow, slow turnaround.

BTW...did anyone catch that amazing Mariner's game a few days ago. A 1-hitter. Incredible!
