Dear Bus Couple

I was riding the bus this morning, and although I try not to be judgmental about others, at least not out loud, this couple is not allowed to get away with their behavior.
They got on the bus and the guy gave his girlfriend his bus pass.
Then she put it in her wallet and smiled at him almost as if to say, "look! I put your bus pass away! Kiss me!"
So they did.
This system of rewards continued.
She pulls the cord.
Kiss.
She notices their stop is coming up.
Kiss.

Seriously? I'm glad you are "in love," but please do not give us a demonstration.
Oh yeah... and the touching.
She wouldn't stop touching his leg.
Seriously.
Rubbing it, massaging it, and tapping it.
Wow.
That's just weird.

So, Dear Bus Couple,
I know you are "in love" and feel as if you have to make the world know it every second of everyday, but it's only 9:30 in the morning and I don't want to puke.
So stop. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Bus 33

Skill

The following blog is a example of solid skill.
So Jim and I went to move my car, in the blizzard, at 6:30.
We had a staff meeting at 7
We usually cut it this close, because it only takes about 20 minutes to move the car and walk back.
However, mother nature was hurling snow at us.
We took off out of West Circle and spun out, 180, and got stuck in the middle of the road. With some pushing, and waves to the waiting cars, Jim got us out.
So then we finally got to Lot 75 and parked the beast, Silvia.
We jump out of the car and the snow is up to our shins.
So we started to walk back.
Jim called Nick and I called Angie to tell them that we spun out, we're fine, and we will be late.
So we walked back and we were trucking along, we get to Adams field and notice that we still have 3 minutes to get back in time.
We walk into the Ivy room, with a minute to spare!
SKILL!
MAD SKILL!
We bragged about it the whole time.
Then we spent the rest of the meeting cold and wet.
All that mattered was that we kicked the snow storm's butt and made it back in time.

Take that snow!

Official Maid of Honor

OK,
So as you loyal blog readers know, I am a delusional bridesmaid because I self-appointed myself to such title when Christine was getting married.
If you need a refresh, she had 8 bridesmaids then met me and obviously couldn't add another one so I came up with the solution to be a delusional one, meaning I get to enjoy all the fun things but I don't have to buy a dress or stand up in the wedding, and I still get to be honored in the program... Best way to help in a wedding.
Anyhow,
Although Christine's wedding has come and gone, I am still a delusional bridesmaid due to the fact, I'm not a bride, not a bridesmaid, just a friend who likes weddings, plus that's a wicked title.
HOWEVER, I am now an official Maid of Honor.
My sister got engaged on her birthday. Congrats to Jared and Maggie!
They met at nursing school, they both go to U of M-Flint
So I was named Maid of Honor.
I will be wearing a yellow dress, and carrying sunflowers.
My 5 year-old god daughter will be matching me as the flower girl.
The other bridesmaids will be wearing what color you ask?
Blue.
Yep, a blue and yellow wedding... awesome.
When I said this to her, she said "I can find someone else."
Hahahaha, really? mag chill it's a joke...

So anyhow, on telling Christine about this, she said
"You should join the bad bridesmaid's club with me!"

"What do I have to do to be in the club?"

"Bad-mouth the bride, nothing serious.."

"My sister will be a Bridzilla."

"OK, you're in."

So now I am officially the Maid of Honor and the 2nd member of the bad bridesmaid's club... WOOT! 2 titles, 1 week.

Honestly, I am super happy for Mag, she found a great guy and he got a great girl.
So if I clog this up with wedding stuff, that is why. I am helping to plan a wedding.

Until then...
