Will’s Thoughts – Crazy Lady Renews Her Driver License – OMG The Hair!
Every five years we have to renew our driver licences, and this year it was Crazy Lady’s turn. I had no idea that such a mundane event could be so much fun. It all began with her behaving oddly. Not being one to carefully apply make-up, do her hair, or pick out the perfect accessories to compliment her wardrobe, it took me by surprise when the Shelf Elf informed me that she was fixing to ‘get ready’ for the big event. The next thing that I knew, I saw her standing in the kitchen blow drying her hair, upside down! It’s important to note that Gwendolyn Gigglesmuch has naturally curly hair, and when dry, curly haired people can do some really awesome stuff with their hair. The more I watched her, the more I got an uneasy feeling that things were somehow sliding sideways quickly.
Hearing the hair dryer shut off, I glanced over the top of my monitor, and dang near gave myself a DYI vasectomy with my keyboard trying to back away from the freakish sight before me. If I hadn’t known better, I’d have thought her hair dryer had shorted out and shocked the begeezus out of her, leaving her looking like the Bride of Frankenstein. Smiling (to keep my lips firmly pressed together), I watched as she began putting on her outside clothes, while telepathically ‘daring’ me to say a word. Not a fan of celibacy, I didn’t. Her gentle ‘suggestion’ that I should also get ready, let me know I was to be a willing participant in the adventure(s) ahead.
Taking my usual fifteen seconds to get ready, I noticed that Miss Twig was making no effort to control an afro the size of a patio umbrella, which made her look a heap like a human dandelion. Before I could even use my outside voice, she said “What?” in a manner that suggested apocalyptic action upon an incorrect response. Positioning myself to protect the family jewels from possible vandalism, I dared to ask Mrs. Makezme if she was planning to go out like that. Surprising me with an ear-to-ear grin, she said that she certainly was, because if the government wanted her to venture from her domain, she was going to have fun doing it (pics on our blog). Other visits to government offices were fun like having teeth pulled, but I looked forward to going now.
When we stepped up to the counter, the lady looked at me like she was about to tell me that my poodle would have to wait outside. Once she realized that Foxy Roxy was there to renew her driver license, she began asking her questions. When the clerk finally got to, “Hair colour?” Curlylocks replied, “Brunette.” The clerk looked up at the mass obscuring the known universe, and said, “But, it’s blonde.” It turns out, that because my eternally twenty something spouse had her hair streaked to deal with a gray hair, she now legally became a blonde. At the end of the day, and after all of her careful preparation, her ‘sheepdog with serious static electricity issues’ hair style got cut off by the camera, foiling her attempt for a wacky driver’s license picture. But, as we walked down the office steps, I saw a twinkle come into Ima Craisy’s eyes, and I swear she looked a lot like she was thinking, “Hmmm … I wonder what colour they put down for bald people?”
This is what Goddess Getswhatshewants’ hair usually looks like. Although she has natural curly hair, you can see that a flat iron is one of her best friends.
Without her knowledge, I snapped this photo of her blow-drying her hair upside down. When she saw the flash, she looked up and said, “OMG! Will’s Thoughts????”
Crazy Lady putting on her coat for the big adventure. I was ‘informed’ that I was not allowed to use any of the full face photos, to prevent her picture from turning up on one of those “OMG! I can’t believe this person went out in public like that” sites!
I walked into the government office with a brunette, and walked out with a blonde! Now that’s customer service!
The human dandelion (back and front).”Frankie, Frankie, where art thou, oh Frankie?”
Will’s thoughts prove that everybody has opinions, but he has way more than he should. From dogs that won’t stop barking, to the antics of his spouse, ‘Crazy Lady’, Will’s Thoughts will make you smile.

Hi Cathie and Will
Of course we have no doubt that Will loves and respects you a whole lot, he woudn’t dare to do otherwise, ha ha ha. No really, Will you should write a book with all these gems of wisdom in it.
I’m sure the young married couples would be glad of a reference book like that, the men sure would,
love and best wishes to both of you

Hi hoolet… thanks for the post. I was just surprised that some people were thinking that, so I thought I better say something. Hope all is well with you, we are trying to stay warm here. Today it is only like -28 or so, but Friday it is suppose to be Extreme wind chill minus 41…. But then on Saturday it is going to warm up to about -14… Thank goodness. Of course we get the cold weather here… But wind chills of – 41 I can do without!

Hi Cathie, I don’t know how people could take anything other than humour from Will’s comments. you two obviously have a great relationship.Mel was hoping it would stay at -15 then it would be like a spring all through the winter. If you were over here you don’t get the option to mess with the licence people, you post the form and photo to Swansea. If it dosn’t meet the regs you get it back to try again
Cathie
We are suppose to get up to 0 and above by Tuesday I think here… Will be like tee shirt weather for us!!!
Here they take your picture right in the office, and they normally do not care if it is a bad picture or a good one. Normally I ask to see it, before they save it. That way if you got a goofy look, you can redo it. They are pretty good about that.
Now with passport photos, well that is a different story. When my sister had to get one for my niece, i think she was around 1. Well she could not be smiling in the picture… you try and take a picture of a baby and have them not smiling lol… Of course you can’t pinch then to make them stop smiling, cause then they will cry… and you can’t have them crying either!!!
Not that I am encouraging people to pinch their babies!!! Oh boy.. next thing I know I will be having the “anti pinching” people camping out in my yard in protest! ha ha
