hoping2heal Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Well..as annoying as these things may have been at the time..now I have to look back and laugh. Yesterday, I had to get my pp photos taken after A)being impromptu sun burnt and B) having caught the 24 hr flu from my nephew; so I'd been throwing up all night, fevery and sweaty; you know..the way you WANT to look when this photo will be used to identify you for the next umpteen months . Now today, after going through hell to reach the place where I do my passport, I get there and am informed that pp are only done between 9:30 am and 3:00 pm. So, it was a total of 3 hours of hassle I went through only to not be able to do what I needed. Now tomorrow I get to do it all over again. That said, I am going to appreciate it all the more when the passport is here as it took so much hassle to get it accomplished lol.
Rollercoasterr Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Mine looks like a prison photo. Absolutely awful. I thought it would be a hassle going through the border, but all I got was a guy that glanced at my signature in it, asked where I'd be staying in canada, for how long, have a nice day. 30 seconds. He didn't even look at me OR my picture. Same thing when returning to the states. Made me feel a lot better since I didn't have to get embarrassed over the picture. I'm sure it'd be different when going to another country, since the U.S. and Canada are BFFs and all, lol.
Island Girl Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 My picture was terrible -- for some reason I looked like I was surprised by something unpleasant - twice (?). I don't usually take terrible pictures so it was psychologically damaging. LOL The brighter side -- I got my PP two weeks before another that sent her stuff at the same time. Those PP people must have thought, "OMG. We HAVE to get her somewhere so others can enjoy THIS!!". At least that was the running joke for a while.
Author hoping2heal Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 LOL . Yeah, my eyes are bloodshot, and I look like one of those embarassing celebrity mugshots. I'm going to a country that is not BFF with US, so I'm sure they will all get a nice kick out looking at it . I'm really excited for tomorrow though, to finally put my application through woo hoo.
Lovin a scrapper Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Thank God that my baby lives here in the states. Im ugly enough without getting it enhanced by a passport photo!!!
Author hoping2heal Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 Well, was able to get the passport business taken care of today without incident. Now all I need to do is wait for it to arrive in the mail. Yipee doo da .
