Prepare to be riveted.
Every day I catch a bus at 6:30 a.m so that I can begin my hour long trek in to school. (Let's point out that this means I get up around 5:30. Let's also not dwell on this fact, as I spend the greater part of my day trying to convince myself that I am, indeed, awake.)
Usually, I take a grand total of 3 busses each way, but I recently met a very kind bus driver. (Who today told me his name is Carlos "just like that show Desperate Housewives" because he is great.) My new driver lets me stay on his bus all the way to school as it changes into my last bus. For all you transit enthusiasts, this. is. rad.
While on the bus, I do a number of great things. Here they are in no particular order:
Read the Paper - Now, let's point out that the paper I read is the Metro. The Metro contains all sorts of ground breaking news such as facts about Justin Beiber, what I can do with my five kids on snow days, and of course, my horoscope.
Complete a Sudoku Puzzle - When Derek and I first met, he introduced me to Sudoku. Now there's no going back. I get a sick thrill from completing a Sudoku puzzle during the last leg of my bus ride. Also from using a colored pen to do so. Super.
Internet- Now is the time when I can look up things on the interwebs free from prying eyes of judgement. (Clearly, Cricket's. He's such a judgey fur ball.) I research things like, "Who was that guy in orange on supernatural" or "vitamins for sleep" or "cat." It's a special time for me. I also e-mail, and text. It's all very good for stretching the thumbs.
Read - This is last on the list because, as a modern lady, reading seems boring sometimes. But if the book is good enough, I'm down. I also enjoy cackling to myself as I read. It may be involuntary, but it's a nice bonus as it makes strangers give me the side-eye. I like this.
Clearly, this list now also includes crafting rambling blog posts.
