"What's that, like same sex?"
We're going on Thursday to apply for our CU license. our town is by appointment only. They do not answer the phone, ever. So I left a message this morning and this lady Mary calls me back. Here's how the conversation went down:
Mary: "You said civil license on your message, you mean marriage license?"
Me: "No, civil union license."
Mary: "Civil Union..." (long pause) "What's that, like same sex?"
Me: "Yes, that's correct."
Mary: "Oooooooh, I've never done one of those before. I think I'm doing one later this month but not yet. What do you need to do?"
Me: "I think it's the same form for the marriage license, I just check off another box?"
Mary: "Oh ok, did you research this?"
At this point I'm trying not to laugh at the woman. I realize we life in a small municipality, but the CU law wasn't passed yesterday. She was very sweet, but clearly bewildered by my need for a CU license, it was like I just re-invented the wheel for her.
In other news, we booked out honeymoon last night, we're the most awesome procrastinators ever. HOW ARE THERE ONLY 25 DAYS?? Sorry the yelling was necessary. Someone throw me an extra week, or at least a couple days?

My coworkers are judging me with their eyes for my random outburt of laughter which may have been accompanied by a snort. I'm such a lady.
We're going to P*nta Cana(TK won't let me put the U in, por que?), Dominican Republic for 7 glorious nights (Monday to Monday after the wedding) and then having a "staycation" of sorts for the rest of the next week and hitting up the shore.
YES WE'RE GOING TO BELMAR - SHUT UP NATES.

Was the lady all excited that she's no longer a CU virgin?
[QUOTE]Mind you this conversation also took place from my desk, and she seemed a bit... geriatric? So I was essentially shouting this information out to her over the phone. I'm pretty sure half the office building now knows there's a lesbian amongst them - eeek!

You rebel.
[QUOTE]Hahaha, I love that episode, AATB. "Lesbian. Lesbian. OHHH, LESbian." That Blanche.
Posted by ZombieNates[/QUOTE]
"Not Lebanese, Blanche."
HAHAHAHAHA. Gets me every damn time.
We can't say P*nta Cana? WTF, TK? But my MOH went there for her honeymoon and loved it, so I'm sure you guys will have a great time!

And I love that Blanche is pissed that the friend chose Rose over her. Hahaha.
[QUOTE]We haven't booked our HM yet either. Glad to know I'm not alone on the procrastination front. Was the lady all excited that she's no longer a CU virgin?

I think she was most scared and confused. She told me I had to bring every form of ID imaginable, a witness, proof of address, Ellen Degeneres' phone number, and at least two Indigo Girl/Ani DiFranco cds as proof of my lesbianism. Yet forgot to tell me to bring the $28 license fee, I had to remind her of that.
I tried to tell her I didn't think I really needed that other stuff, but that's bureaucracy for you.
And so jealous of you HM! I really need to go somewhere, like yesterday.

I have mad love for you.
If Mary calls Ellen's show, I will die. DIE.
[QUOTE]Ellen's gonna be pissed if she get's a call from some old lady named Mary. I'll get kicked out of the inner circle and she, Wanda Sykes and Cynthia Nixon will stop inviting me out to brunch. We don't invite Rosie, she's always causing a scene.

<div>OMFG I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! You are so filled with awesomeness. </div><div>

You should come to their office bearing gifts. Maybe a t-shirt reading "I issued the first CU license to a couple of lesbians and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"?

She's just an attention whore anyway. Be careful that you don't spill your lesbian dust around the office; wouldn't want anyone to catch a case of lesbian.
I totally hear you about wanting more time. We're less than 11 days away. Deeeeeeep breath! I REALLY need to start a list and us it. Every time I think I'm done, BAM another thing comes up.
Enjoy the DR. I lived in the interior of the country (Santiago de los Caballeros) for 4 months and LOVED it. We spent every weekend at the beach. There's something about going to a beach in November that just rocks.

11 days BK! How exciting!! Definitely make yourself a list and start crossing of the last few items. I live by my list, it's slowly but surely getting checked off :)
I can't wait for the beach and umbrella drinks :)

Hahahhahaha. Is that why I'm home sick?

At the same time, we are going tomorrow to apply for our self uniting license and we are hoping the people in the office know what we are talking about. I have been reading that some people are being denied because they can't show proof of being a Quaker, which isn't a requirement anymore in PA
