Hip-Hop Abs

I had a day of television today, which is a really bad thing for me. You see, I don't usually watch much TV anymore, but I felt like lounging around today since I have the day off. So I ended up making one of those as-seen-on-tv purchases from QVC. It looked like so much fun and I was reading all these great reviews online. I figured that I spend this much money on my fitness passes, so maybe I can just do this at home and learn some hip-hop moves at the same time. I hope it works out, but at least it seems like QVC will take it back if I don't like it.
The sad thing is, my phone is kinda broken (the speaker doesn't work sometimes) and I really need a new one. The other night I stayed up until 2 am looking at phones and decided not to buy any because the one I like is $170 and I didn't think it was really a "necessity" since I can still fix my phone by throwing it on the floor a couple of times. But instead, I made a rash purchase of these DVDs. It's funny how you talk yourself in and out of certain things. This better be good.

DMV Registration

I spent a few hours on hold a few weeks ago talking to people at the DMV, trying to explain that my registration was never mailed to me after I paid for it online. When I finally talked to someone that said it could be replaced, she said that I had to wait ONE more day because it had only been 29 days since they mailed it out, and they could not send a replacement until 30 days after.

So I had to get my sister involved because I did not have time to be on hold again the next day. Well, the replacement had finally come and it's already February, which is when my registration expires.

I got the sticker, which was mailed to my parents' house, then mailed to me, sometime earlier this week. I hadn't had time to put it on, and it was raining up until this morning. Finally, I thought it was time to go out there and do it.

I took a towel and a screw driver with me to clean and place the sticker under the frame. When I got out there with everything in hand I realized that there was already a 2010 sticker on my license plate!!!

I really couldn't remember when I would have put it on, and really thought that I had never received it. So my first thought was that the sticker was probably for another car at home, like the camry or avalon. Then I went to place my duplicate registration in my glove compartment when I found the REAL one! I also found on there a little yellow post-it note that had an address on Vermont Street written in my brother's handwriting. Now I know who had received my registration a long time ago, put my sticker on, and forgot all about it. Thanks K.
