Last week it was time to renew my license plate. Once again, I got upset because it was going to cost me nearly $60 to renew my personalized tag.
Each year, I go through this whole ordeal of how expensive it is, should I get one, if it’s worth the money, and all that stuff. Then I pay the fee and don’t really think much about it until the next bills comes. The cycle starts again. lol
Last year, I was going to get rid of the tag. I was convinced that it wasn’t worth the money, but then someone told me …read more

The salesman said that it was a misprint and that …read more

Last night I got home at 9:30 from my trip to see my parents. I brought in our suitcases, but left the rest of the stuff in my van. The thought came to me, Maybe I should start locking our van. Someone could steal the carseats and they cost $150 each. I hate living like a paranoid person. I intended to lock the van, but got so busy doing other stuff that I forgot.
This morning I was getting in the van to go to church and noticed my glove compartment open with stuff hanging out of it and the things from my …read more
