Back in October I decided I’d get myself a personalized tag for the Big Black Invisible Jeep. It would be my birthday present to myself.

And a cheap one at that.

I’ve been getting personalized plates since my first one in 1994 that I got in Chicago:

LUSTY L

I did that one on a dare and I think it cost me around $130. 20 years ago!

This one would only cost $30. But they said I had to wait for 2-4 months to receive it.

The funny thing is, when you first apply for it, you have to give them six choices. So after waiting all that time, it’s still a big surprise when you open the envelope.

My envelope arrived today! Well, not really today. Yesterday. But since the mailbox is exceedingly far away from the front door, we usually pick up the mail the day after it’s delivered on our way past the box on our walk. 😉

And, I got my first choice!

I’m trying to remember my other choices. Three of them were SPARKLE, HAPPY, and GLITTER. You know, things that typify who I am. 😉  But I can’t remember the other two it’s been so long.

Other personalized plates I’ve had are

NOMERCY (loved that one)

and

TALKUL1 (tall cool one, which I always had to explain)

I’m so  HAPPY I got my first choice. Have you had a personalized plate on your car? What is/was it?
