I'm Almost Official, And Isn't He A Cute Little Guy

OK, I'm finding out that going to town basically becomes an all day trip! Yesterday we went into town to go to Walmart,  pick up the car, then it needed 2 new tires so we left it at Costco... from there to the DMV for me to try and get a license (I did study the book) and transfer the registration. Unfortunately even though I had my California driver's license and social security card I needed to have my passport so no license or test for me yesterday! We still had time before the car would be ready so we back tracked into Kona and had yummy plate lunch at the BIG ISLAND GRILL and then got a call the car was ready. When we got there we decided to shop in Costco just a little (not) and then I needed gas so I got in the line and John headed home in the truck. The roads are so dark, twisty and scary (on the first time) at night. No street lights or glowing sky.... just dark, unless of course you get the guy riding your bumper part of the way like I did. We left the house about 10:30 and it was 7:00 when I got home!

This morning back into town to go to the DMV and take the test for my driver's license. The 2 people in front of me failed so i was a little nervous... 30 questions and you can get up to 6 wrong.... whooo hoooo... I only missed 3 and now have my temporary license! Of course, since I was in town I went to Petco, Target and Safeway and headed back the 31 miles to Captain Cook (at mostly 35 MPH speed limit). Left the house at 8:00, got home at 1:00.

I just went out to check the garden and the carrots are coming up. I can probably transplant my lettuce tomorrow and i noticed some of the bananas were just starting to turn yellow so I went to pick some and what the hecko, there was a tiny Mister Gecko peeking at me so i whipped out my phone and got this picture!

Tomorrow night I start back to work with a training call from 11:00pm - 12:30am... this time change thing won't beat me!
