My life should be a movie...

This week has been a very interesting week! It started off with my birthday which was a lot of fun, but there have been some happenings throughout the week that are so absurd!  I was planning on converting my NY license to a DC license on Monday, but once I got to the DMV I realized it was closed.  On Wednesday we photo copied my license at work for record purposes and the next day when I went to leave for the DMV I realized that I had lost my license.  No joke...I really have no idea where it is! I retraced my steps and had everyone I ran into praying, but it didn't turn up!  Being the optimistic person that I am I decided to go back to the DMV with the photocopy of my license and the other paperwork I had.  Once I got there I took one look at the lady behind the counter and realized that I was not going to be able to get a license that easily! Not only did she say they don't accept photocopied license's, she informed me that while the website said otherwise I need my birth certificate or my passport in order to get a new license.  Well...funny thing is that I lost my passport in the move from NY to DC and my birth certificate is MIA!!! So, I decided that I would just file for a new passport and then use that to get my license, but you need a birth certificate to do that!  This is where the story could either frustrate me or make me laugh...I am choosing to laugh because although it is more difficult for me to get a new license now, it is not impossible and there are greater problems in the world!  If there is one thing I have learned here it is that!  I ordered a driving abstract from NY, filed a report about my lost license, filed a report about my lost passport and then found out that my parents found a copy of a certificate of my birth which will surely help me get my passport or an identification card!  The clincher is that I am coming home on a plane in less than a month and I'm pretty sure ID is required for that!

You're probably thinking that's the end of my story, but it's not!  Thursday night after the DMV extravaganza I worked until close at Ebenezers!  After work I went to eat with a friend and we decided to go to Good Stuff Eatery.  I wasn't aware of this, but Spike from Top Chef owns the restaurant and it is pretty much a block away from my house!  Spike was there Thursday night, Spike talked to us Thursday night, Spike took a picture with us Thursday night!  The picture was taken on my friend's camera and the next day she could not find it anywhere (I'm not kidding).  While I was walking home yesterday I stopped back into Good Stuff Eatery and Spike was there again! He remembered me and searched all over for her camera! When he couldn't find it he took a new picture with me and gave me his card...

Want another reason why I feel like my life is a movie? Take one look at this picture and think about the fact that I walk past it everyday and I think you'll understand....

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!
