Monday the 13th

This past Friday my dad went and got his license tag renewed.  And that is what about $28?  Saturday morning dad was doing some yard work and thought the back of his car looked funny.  So he looked at it closer.  Someone had came down into the driveway during the night and had stolen the license tag!  So he calls the police and reports it stolen.  Then he gets into his truck to go get a new tag.  Oh wait the tag place is closed because it's Veterans Day.  So he had to wait until today to get another tag.  Another $28.

Now if you assume that the stole tags aren't found by the police (and a good chance they won't) someone has an entire year's worth of tag to use.  Not bad for a night out on the town stealing other people's stuff!  And if they use the tags on a stolen car (which is probably what you would do with stolen tags right?) then they can wreck the car creating all kinds of damage and no one will know who did it.  Pretty smart for a thief.  Or maybe they will get caught somehow.  I just don't think so.

Not much of anything going on in my life - such as it is.  I had bought some fall flowers a few months back to put on my aunt's grave.  Can't find the flowers anywhere.  To be honest I was going to put them out on her birthday but I just didn't get around to doing it.  That is so horrible to say but that's what happened.

Actually before she died I never saw the point of putting flowers on a grave.  The dead sure don't know.  And I don't need to impress any of the living that's for sure.  Oh I know everyone has their reasons of doing it or not doing it.  But if the reason is for show then you should just keep your money.  My belief is if you are doing it for show you probably feel guilty about something (how you treated the dead person maybe?) and it's kind of late to make up for it now.

Yesterday Maggie drove me crazy.  Maybe she didn't feel good, maybe she wanted to drive me batty, but I think she wanted out on the porch.  It was chilly but I was willing to leave the back door open so the cats could be "outside" (on the screened in porch), however it was so dog gone windy!  The storm door wouldn't stay open.  Nothing I tried would keep it open or keep it from banging (loudly which scared the cats) against what I was trying to hold it open with. 

First thing this morning Maggie wakes me up and makes a bee line to the back door.  LOL  I love my babies.  Maggie is training me so well to get her own way.  But she is driving me crazy when she doesn't get her way.  She will find some paper, or a magazine, or even a book and start to chew on it.  Don't get a rise out of mom?  Hmmm........let me start to shred it!  That's it!  That will get mom off her hiney!!!  Works every time! 

I go back to the doctor tomorrow afternoon to get my blood pressure rechecked.  I am supposed to be monitoring it myself -- supposed to.  You know what that means?  In the past 2 weeks I may have taken it twice. 

I know this sig tag isn't the prettiest.  It's kind of spooky in a way.  Every time I look at it I think either of Lizzy Borden or Bette Davis (like in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte).  Ok I have a weird brain.  I never claimed other wise!
