Registration

Almost two months ago, we got our request for payment and renewal for both of our vehicles in the mail. I like to see how quickly we can get the stickers on the cars. Both of our vehicles have August registrations, so I love to get them on in June or July. Well, this year, I was very disappointed. I took our payment to the post office the same day they came in the mail. And waited and waited and waited. Finally, we got our canceled checks in the mail. And we waited and waited. I thought I would have to call DMV, but I checked online first--no help there. So I called and waited on hold for about 40 minutes, until I had to leave one day without talking to any real person. Still no registration in the mail. Bummer. So this morning, while my kids were at the babysitter's, I took my valuable time and went to DMV. Just walking in, the line was a little scary, but I got the necessary forms, filled them out and then received my number for the real wait. It actually only took about 5 minutes after that and I had my coveted blue stickers in my hand. Yeah. I did ask the last lady to help me if there was another way to handle my problem, but she said coming in was probably the best. Oh well. Maybe I won't have to go to DMV for a long time. It's done. It had been hanging over me for more than a month. Relief.
