Cassie was pretty set on getting her ears pierced today so we headed down to the mall after school. Now she has pretty little sparkly multi-colored flowers in her ears. It wasn't near as bad as she thought it would be. I think it hurt her dad more than it hurt her...lol. She loves them and can't wait until her 6 weeks is up so she can go earring shopping.
I went back to the horrid DMV this morning to get a Virginia Driver's license. I actually went twice. The first time I walked in and right back out because there were no empty seats and the line was out the door. The second time I went I still had to wait well over an hour. According to the people around me, that's not a long wait at all and it's far worse on Saturdays and Mondays. It's done anyway and I'm really glad. They kept my TX license and it didn't even occur to me until I left that they didn't give it back. I can't imagine what they'd need it ofr. Back in TX when you go to get your new license or to get one renewed they print out a temporary license for you on a piece of thick white paper. Here you wait about 10 minutes and they have the real deal for ya...no waiting. I was really surprised that I got it today. I figured I'd have to wait 4-6 weeks for it.
After I left the DMV I headed over to a little shop called Homespun Elegance that I had been wanting to go to. What a neat little shop that was! I got to meet Sandra Sullivan which was a pleasure. I thought she was a really nice lady, as was the other lady working in the shop. I believe her name was Kathy. She was really sweet. They both invited me to their open house this weekend and Kathy even invited me to church. They had a lot of neat little things in that shop and I plan on going back very soon to pick up a few little things for Christmas gifts. Sandra told me that they're planning to have a punchneedle class as well as a needle felting class in the spring. I'm really looking forward to going to those. I'm especially curious about needle felting.
I'd better head off and get busy. We're spending the day in D.C. tomorrow and I really don't like coming back home to a messy house so I need to do a bit of tidying up. I hope you all have a super weekend!!

Oh, so fun for Cassie. I remember when I had mine done many, many years ago, I thought it hurt a lot. I know she will have fun with earrings.
Good job on getting the Driver's License. Here in Kansas they give you the little piece of paper too when you get a new one. They probably kept your TX one so you did not have dual licenses. I think that is part of the law on driver's licenses. Going to DMV even for renewals is a pain.
Cassie looks so grown up with her earrings! I'm so excited for your mother/daughter trip to NYC, take lots of pics for us!
I had to wait 3 1/2 hours here in OK to get my new drivers license and my TX one was such a good picture. Glad all is well. Miss you guys.
