Lately, every morning when the alarm goes off at 6:30, I almost want to cry because I'm so tired; I want sleep more than just about anything. So yesterday, I had the day off from work and could sleep late (not forever, but late - I had stuff to do) and what happens? I was wide awake at 6:32 and unable to drowse off again. I refused to admit I was awake for another hour or so, but I wasn't fooling anyone.
I took the day off so I could officially Bowmanize myself: we went to the courthouse to pick up certified copies of our marriage certificate, to the driver services office to get my driver's license changed, to the voter registration office to change my name and change Alan's county of residence, and to Target, where I didn't change anything but purchased hair spray and Gorilla Glue.
I suppose now I need to start changing other things, like my checking account and credit cards. The only thing I'm semi-dreading is Social Security - there are lots of different sets of instructions and I'm hoping I can mail stuff off, without having to take more time off work. Still, the driver's license was the major thing and with that done, I can handle most of the others.
We did some fun stuff too: had a nice lunch at a local place in Conyers called On Main, which my friend Joy had recommended. We want to go there for dinner sometime soon. After that, we went to Borders for some books and Best Buy for some CDs. I'm reading the most hilarious book right now, can't wait to tell you guys about it but I want to finish it before posting a review. I'll tell you this, it's a murder mystery with one of the greatest plot premises EVER. Remember Humpty Dumpty, how he sat on a wall, then had a great fall? Well, what if that fall wasn't exactly accidental?!? Detective Jack Spratt, NCD (Nursery Crimes Division) is on the case.

Have you read any of his other stuff? I bought the first of the "Thursday Next" series too.
So far, my favorite line is probably when they're discussing Humpty's extremely high blood-alchohol level: "That's one pickled egg."

Hmmm, maybe there's a business in doing name changes for people. For almost everything tedious, there's someone you can pay to do it for you, like going to the DMV. I wonder what can be done without the person there.
Anyone, congrats on your Bowmanization. Sorry about the lack of sleep. :::she says after having had four hours of sleep:::
