I'm now officially a Missourian! Got my license switched over yesterday. Waiting on the official one, but the picture doesn't look too bad on the print one! Which is nice, considering I didn't realize until I got there that I hadn't put on any makeup whatsoever, even some concealer for the upper lip. No one said anything, so yay!
The woman at the DL office was incredibly cool. I had to show my birth certificate, which still hasn't been updated, so I also brought my court order for my name change (interesting note - They gave me 4 official signed & sealed copies after my hearing, and I still have them all! Everyone just copies them and hands them back). I explained the situation and she had no problems, and we chatted for a bit about various things. Next is getting the car re-licensed, but that's going to have to wait for a bit.
This last Monday I had my interview with the Johnson County library, and it went very well. It's in the inter-library loan department, and my work history at the library, a mail room, retail shipping, and selling on e-bay all seemed to impress them. They said they'll contact me next week to let me know one way or another. Fingers crossed!!!
Other news.... I've put on way too much weight. Alexa's eating habits aren't nearly as light as mine had been, so between eating out (way too much, really - we're cutting back though) and my inability to say no to tasty fattening food when we're out shopping, I gained about 13 pounds. Time to start exercising again, and being more careful with what I eat. We've talked about going for walks, but it's been so blazing hot here that the only good time for that is the middle of the night. I've got my treadmill, but there's no room so it's in storage. She does have an exercise bike though, so I'll be spending some quality time on it. Trying to ignore the 18 bratwurst we got at costco that's currently sitting in the freezer. I got a bit over-excited with wanting to grill. But I am the Grill Queen!!
Last week we went around and looked at several apartments for when we move in September. Need to get at least a 2 bedroom so we can have an office / extra gaming space. If I get this job, we could easily afford a townhouse, which I would love to get. Our number one priority when choosing a place is if they have Google Fiber - it's a must have. Number two is LOTS of closet space. This is the conundrum of a relationship between two women - too many clothes!! Thankfully we're mostly the same size (I'm taller, so my full length pants are too long for her), or it would be even worse. Of course, one of my questions at every place was the grill policy. Sadly, most places won't let you have a grill within 10 feet of the building. Sigh.
