books

A reading update:

4.  "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by J.K. Rowling  734 pages
5.  "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by J.K. Rowling  870 pages
6.  "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" by J.K. Rowling  652 pages

So you might be thinking that I have probably read these books before before.  And you would be right.  The reason I am re-reading books is because I still have a Utah license. 

See, the problem is that I can't get a library card (and thus check out books) at our new location until I have a California driver license with our current address.  And T's California license still has our old address. 

I've been putting off getting a California license because I don't want to admit that I am actually a California resident.  I want to hold on to being from Utah as long as I can.  I know this is all pretty irrational because I might as well admit that I live here and that I'm going to live here for probably the next 20 years.  But I don't want to admit that!  Plus I think I look pretty good in my Utah license and odds are that the California one won't be so good.  But, when I got my last Utah license I didn't know how much I weighed - I ended up overestimating by 8 pounds!  I know, also very superficial, but if I have to get a California license I might as well fix that!

Next week I will have a little adventure out to the DMV so I can check out books.  But I won't have any books to read while I'm in line!

  1. I have the opposite problem. I actually have lived in Utah for almost a year and a half and still don't have my Utah Driver's License. But the other half of the problem is that I lost my purse (and CA DL) and so am desperately trying to locate some other form of ID - birth certificate? I should go get mine taken care of this week too! (On the upside the local library here doesn't require a Utah DL - so I can be library happy without it, as you may have noticed from my blog.)
