Weekend wrap up

As much as I love having people to see and things to do during the weekend, it certainly makes the weekend go by quickly!

Friday, I had a half day at work, so I thought I would use that opportunity to get over to the DMV and take care of that business.  To make a long story short, I had no problems getting my title and registration taken care of.  I hopped over to the driver's license section, waited my turn, only to find out that the state of Virginia had a hold on my license and I needed to contact them.  Come to find out, they never received notification that I had moved to Maryland back in 2009, so they had suspended my "non-existent" VA license because I did not have the minimum car insurance in Dec. 2, 2009.  Seriously???  So as long as I can prove to them I had valid insurance on that date, they will waive the $500 fee!!!! and only charge me the $85 necessary to reinstate my VA license (that I haven't had since 2009) so that I can use my MD license to get my new IL license.  Yep, take a second to digest that.

State of Virginia, that sure is a sham you are running to increase revenue.

Needless to say, I checked what was required of me to make sure that the state of Maryland knows I moved so I don't have to deal with this again.

After that, I made a few appetizers and headed to one of my friends house to hang out and have a few drinks.   It was a small gathering of the girls I was friends with back in grade school.  We had a blast and decided that we needed to plan something once a month.  Looks like April might be a group trip to see American Reunion and grad a bite to eat.  Should be fun!

On Saturday, I spent the day at the United Center with Brooke.  She had an extra ticket to the Budweiser Court of Dreams activity.  We watched a group of the attendees play a scrimmage on the court (coached by Bill Wennington and Stacy King), got a few pictures and jokes in and then headed up to have a few drinks and dinner.  The night was capped off by seats behind the basket for the game.  TONS of fun!  Here are a few photos I snagged.
