Smile for the camera.... NOT

As if driver's license photos weren't already unflattering -- now they're even worse!! Apparently Indiana has a new NO SMILING rule..... as in, you can not show any teeth. On a good note, I passed the written exam today and will get my new drivers license in the mail in 10-15 business days. :)
They're one of 20 states participating in a new face recognition program and NO SMILING is allowed.  

The only reason I was in a hurry to go to the DMV was b/c my drivers license expired on my birthday this year 7/26 and I didn't renew in TX b/c we were moving in a few days. Since I drive the kids to school and home 3 trips a day I've been so scared I might get pulled over - ya know out of state plates are so attractive to cops - so I went to go have new one made. That is the first time ever that I've held on to a drivers license long enough for it to expire! I've either married and got a new one for name change, or have moved.... wow.

Love from Indiana!

Beware of Stanley!!!

Carpets were cleaned yesterday by Stanley Steamers...aka Stanley SCHEMERS! 

ATTN Anyone needing their carpets cleaned: I would not ever use them again!!! Too many phone calls with more and more up-charges. Wish I had gone with the locally owned family business "American Steam Cleaners" b/c from the start they ask for measurements of rooms and made an accurate quote over the phone. :/ live and learn.... and then share with your experience with all your friends!

What started out as a quoted $159.99+tax deal turned into a $250+ tax deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  URGH!

Love from Indiana!
