The pain of getting a Passport

So for my trip I have to get a passport,  now I am not going until next summer but I have started the application for my passport. What a pain! I have a bunch of information I have to fill out, which I filled out on the computer but I can not apply in line, I have to do it in person at a post office and I have to have a special picture taken at a approved passport photo place, I will have that done at Costco next time I am in town. Then I have to go to the post office and turn in my application  and my picture, after that I have to pay the fee which is a arm and a leg, $165.00 oh and hear is a interesting peace of information, the government will not allow you to pay in cash money! You can pay with a debit card a check or a money order. Some places may allow you to pay with exact money but most places will not. Then I have to wait for upwards of 3 months just to see if I have been approved and will be allowed to receive a passport!  Ahh the joys of working with the government!


At the end of all of that all I get is one of these!  I am not sure that it is worth all of the money and trouble to get one. I know that I need them to leave the country but wow.

On a different subject I am off of work tomorrow and Monday! I am so glad that I do not have to go to work for two days. Monday we are going to see my grandparents for a day and we get to go out for chines food my little brother " Master Calvin" is very excited to see "Poompa and Bump" (Poompa is Grandpa and Bump is Grandma)

Last night while I was out work I had some guys ask me if I wanted to come and view the local nudist colony! I said no. The last thing that I want to see is a bunch of very naked fat guys. 

Well that is all of the news for now.
