Today's Grab Bag of Thoughts

S - isn't it strange we are the people who got the Asian waitress. L- I had to bang my t's. E- S you have to open your eyes when you talk to me. Terri - I should eat more S-she likes doing my work. S- they call me wooden spoon E- I don't know how to do it, I turned her on E- my nipples, I mean my nephews E-that's unusually long S- oh I have one more leg S- just because there is snow on the rooftop doesn't mean there isn't fire in the furnace. S-did we come too late Southpole bartender - we have no vodka (with a great I could kill you stare)

Sitting here on the train listening to a mom tell her son "ain't nobody want you or can handle you". Then she went on to say "I am going to leave you on the train and leg some stranger take you home. They ain't gonna want you either and try to come find me to dump you back off". Followed up with "You are the reason I don't want any more children". Warms my heart to know someone like that has a kid and here I sit just wanting to say "ok lady I'll take him off your hands. He's obviously not loved or something you want". Would love to see her face after that. She might have just given him to me. So sad.

The train was broken today and the metro guy said take the 81 line to the harbor freeway to jump on the greenline? So I sit and sit and watch the hood pass me by. Wondering where the heck am I? And I sit hoping that sometime soon the little man's voice announcing the stops will say "Harbor Freeway station, connection to the greenline.". Thank you little voice on the speaker. Two more stops. I should have timed this to see if it takes longer than the trains. Oh hells no you did not just drop me off here. Holy crap. It is dark and scary. But just across the street is the Greenline. I am almost there. It shines like Emerald City. I can hear them singing the same song they sing as Dorothy and her friends approach Emerald City. I've arrived! Oh no so has the train. I run up the stairs squeeze into a crowded train and keep blogging. I go two stops and then NOOOOO! I am going the wrong way. I jump off and run across the platform to catch the correct train just about...

So today at Albertsons my total bill was 8 dollars and change, I give the lady a $20 bill and a quarter. She hands me the change, I grab my bags and walk out. When I get to the car I realize she gave me $17 change instead of $12. So I put my bags in the car and head back to give her back $5.00. When I walk up to the check out stand she looks up and in the most I could really care less voice says oh did I give you too much change. I say " yes here is your $5.00 back." She again without caring says thanks and goes back to work. Hey I am not saying I deserve a metal or a cookie but heck I just helped you have the correct cash at the end of the day. You won't be getting in trouble and I feel better for not stealing your money. I guess I was hoping for a bit more enthusiasm but oh well. At least I did what was right.

As mentioned in one of my last post I have started many new things in 2012. I'm still going strong on most of them. Started Ballet fit class to improve my posture, tighten my abs and further strengthen my knees/legs. I will admit Ballet is a lot harder than soccer. Haha. It is very disciplined and hard to stay balanced. No shoes or tutu YET. I am only getting started. I am also taking web design class. I want to learn how to build better websites than I do now and the proper way rather than the self-taught way. So far so good. Though there are some rather interesting characters i there. I think I mentioned them before. There are a couple other things I have started, tried to change or reinvigorate but those I am not ready to discuss. One is doing well, but that is just my opinion. The other um not so well. I look forward in 2012 to opening my heart, mind and eyes to God's plan for me. To building stronger friendships. To learning new things. To taking better care of ...

Road the ghetto train last night and I am happy to announce that a very drunk older African American man LOVES ME. He told me over and over again. Man! I've never felt so loved. The end
