Maryland DMV foiled me, because I had a copy of my lease, not an original, so I had to leave with no love that day.

Ha! I was going to say JenP has dealt with MD DMV so PA should be a breeze comparatively. It took Bob at least 4 trips to get his license here. Literally. Thank goodness there is a DMV close by at least. Good luck with all the TCBing car stuff, Jen! That stuff can be completely scary and overwhelming. Not dealing adequately with car stuff landed my friend in Bmore Central Booking for a day last year (although, really, there was some administrative fuck ups on the state's part). On the plus side, her day in Central Booking has produced hours and hours and hours of hilarity in the retelling. But was scary and a huge hassle in real time.

Kick ass, tomorrow, msbelle!!!

Indeed!

I had no problems with the MD DMV, despite being warned. AND I was about 6 months late in transferring my license and registration (bonus NM license, NC registration.)

Only problem was I turned the wrong way on Druid when trying to leave and got lost (I did not know that part of town then) and ended up taking an hour trying to get back to work by spotting the JHU astronomy observatory.

Dumb luck, I guess.

Perkins, I am always up for being bossy.

And you do it so nicely!

I didn't get a lot of the work stuff done that I could/should have, so I told myself I would do a lot when I got home, and then I got home and realized that I'm not sure Perkins the cat is going to make it to the new house, and that I had vomit to clean up before I started to pack.

eta: Can I just eat ice cream and watch leverage instead?

I didn't apply for my TN license until this past October. I have now lived in TN for 2.5 years. Oops?

Discovery of the day: The community center on my way home from work, a mile from our house, has an indoor track that anyone can use for free! So I walked two miles this evening and it felt great. I'm trying to do a lot of walking these days, but it's been tricky because our neighborhood is not perhaps super safe after dark, so I haven't been going out much at night. But now I can walk at the community center instead! Very exciting.

I totally didn't get shit done. And I have a ton of shit to do. And continue to really not want to

I did, however, walk to a nearby restaurant after reading about it on yelp. And while the salad and crab cakes were fine, nothing to write home about, the date cake with ras-al-hanout ice cream? Sooooo delicious.

Gotta say, though, the people at the registration/titling part of the MD DMV were awesome to me and went above and beyond at one point, so that totally made up for my lease issue in licensing. I'm praying PA will go smoothly.

Thanks! And I remember that story and would like to avoid similar!

msbelle, you can do it! Tomorrow.

Perkins, you can totally eat ice cream and watch Leverage.

I've been here for 18 months and still have my NY license, but it doesn't expire until 2016, so I'm not rushing. Mostly because I hate and fear the DMV.

You know, Perkins, I am going to say that you can eat some ice cream and watch Leverage.

I didn't get one here until mine was about to expire. Well, technically I got mine here the day after the old one expired because I failed the written test the first time thinking I'd have time to read the manual before I got called up. And I didn't. I felt like Dorothy realizing I was not in California any more...

My car registration (NC) expires this month. Do not want to deal with switching to LA. Foo.

Yeah, I waited until mine was expiring too, but I think I was supposed to replace it within 90 days of moving here or somesuch.

Hey, was it Sophia who asked about Kathy A a couple of days ago? I have also been thinking recently that it's been a while since I've seen her around here. Has anyone heard from her lately?
