| It's been a year and a half since I got married ... and I just
changed my name on my driver's license today. I never had anything
against taking RRA's last name (well, except wanting to pronounce it
more phonetically) - I just didn't really get a chance to until now.
Since I never had a middle name, preserving my maiden name by inserting
it in there was both satisfying and handy.
I was wary because this errand would involve:
1. toting around a 6 week old infant (the logistics of it, not the infant herself)
2. snow and 4 degree weather and their effects on #1
3. downtown travel - i.e. too close (and outrageously expensive) to
drive, too far to walk, unreliable public transportation in the face of
#1 and #2
4. the frickin DMV
5. waking up my sleep-deprived arse to get to #4 early enough to avoid a long wait
Luckily, Cammie was a total angel. She simply slept in the kangaroo
carrier with only her coat hoodie "ears" poking out, nary a stir as the
occasional snowflake dusted her forehead. Parking was a "mere" $16,
woo. The DMV was quite pleasant, actually; there was no wait and
service was straightforward. After the photo guy told me to give a
"married smile" and I picked up my baby, it occurred to me that he
might've thought I had a shotgun wedding, lol. Not true  |

| Coming off OB call (i.e. providing "anesthesia" for C-sections), I
found this to be exceptionally hilarious and rather tasteful for this
particular comic.
There have been babies younger than CER born -- eek! Officially 4 weeks left but you never know ... :) |
