And The Bus Smelled Like Pee..




Morning!

I'm really not that chipper today but hey they say if you fake it enough you will become the emotion that you're faking. That is an experiment for another day.

I hope your weekend went well! Mine went... not the way it was supposed to but isn't that always the way stuff happens for some of us?

Had a lovely day with grandbaby boy who spent part of the time screaming bloody murder unlike last week when he was all love and hugs and apparently his bad mood was due to not napping. He's still cute though because whenever he says NO in anger I reply YES and by the end of it he's agreeing with me. at least for now anyway. The Superbowl was big news and usually I would watch it but I'm not a fan of either team so I chose British smut TV instead and house puttering. I call it puttering because you're kind of lazy cleaning while wandering from room to room not really wanting to do anything extensive but not wanting to do nothing either.

and then the weekend was over!

I've been taking the bus to work for the past month trying to save some pennies...wait we don't use pennies anymore, OK save some nickles and for the most part it's fine. Last week a woman almost passed out on the bus and everyone there worked together to check her out and make her feel better. The commute itself is an extra 45 mins to and from but it gives me more time to read and I do love to read. Days like today though are days I miss the WCE (which I take on Fridays to treat myself sometimes) painfully so.

First-I get on the bus and it's freezing because the bus hasn't warmed up yet.
Second-My usual seat is taken so I take the seat on the opposite side of where I usually sit.
Third-The floor is wet so I keep my bag beside me instead of putting it on the floor.
Fourth-The bus starts to warm up.
Fifth - I...SMELL...PEE...

Now if you have pets then you would have been doing exactly what I was doing at this point which is mentally thinking about weather it's possible that your cat or dog could have peed on anything that you are now carrying.

Bag - nope Smokey slept on it but no pee.
Jacket - Nope hanging up on a chair
Clothing - Nope nothing like the dreaded Skunk incident.

So now I'm on the bus shyly sniffing myself to try and see where the pee smell is coming from because it smells like cat pee and now I'm worried...until I put my foot down and it slipsand not just slips it was like have slimy and slippery. That's when I realize that it wasn't me... but pee... on the floor... at the back of the bus. (Insert retching sounds here) and then that was all I could focus on the whole rest of the ride, well that and not putting my feet on that part of the floor again and better late than never checking my seat itself.

Welcome to Monday! Bus peeing and all! Is it springtime yet? Did the groundhog see it's shadow? Will this day ever END!

Have a great week guys!
See Ya

I Promise I Won't Laugh is... not... me...

Back again I see!
Good stuff glad to see you!  

I received a strange text message last week from one of the boys simply saying " I got stabbed in the ass today at work. I just wanted to let you know that " Panic set in...for a second. As I asked questions like "How?", "Are you OK?" and "Did you go to the hospital and get stitches?" I got back...

"No, my boss hot glued it." HOT GLUE? I asked again to make sure he didn't really mean Crazy Glue and he reiterated that it was HOT GLUE. Who the hell puts hot glue in an open wound? Who would agree to have hot glue put on them? Have you touched hot glue? That would hurt like..well you know what it would hurt like. Is that toxic? He said he was up for a promotion and wanted to keep working. Yay good job! stabbed, glued and a renewed work ethic!

That's when the giggles started. Not because he was hurt but the image of him when the glue hit his skin. He said he was OK so full blown laughter took place. Have you ever laughed so hard that no sound comes out?

Yup that was me.

Sese came home from LA a day early last week and as happy as I was to have her home it sucked that she couldn't stay the extra day...( and get me jewelry made by Mexicans ) So because she flew in around 2pm I left work early to go to the airport. Thank god for the Canada Line to YVR it was an easy breezy transit trip to pick up my baby. When I dropped her off the airport was empty because it was so early, not this time though...PACKED! That's when my rage sets in, I want to find my kid and there's way too many people in between me and that objective. For the most part I was OK until 5 Min's before her plane landed Choo asked that we go to Tim Horton's...in the airport...with a HUGE line...oh...no.

By the time we made it to the till I was aggravated that I was going to miss Sese coming out mind you I have NO idea of how disembarking works. Anyway the whole time I'm in line I'm watching the ad for the NEW Vanilla Bean Latte. Yes I have a dairy allergy but I was willing to suffer for to try this. We finally get to the till and the cashier asks me what I want...

ME: Can I get a large Vanilla Bean Latte?
HER: A what?
ME: A Vanilla Bean Latte?
HER: Oh I don't think we sell those...
ME: Um...(points to the TV screen above her head)
HER: Oh...do you want an extra shot of chocolate mint?
ME: @_@ Chocolate what? No... Vanilla Bean Latte

So after going back and forth for a minute I decided to screw the Latte and just get my usual.

ME: Never mind the Latte I'll just get a large Double Double
HER: OK and an extra shot of Chocolate Mint?
ME: NO! NO CHOCOLATE MINT A DOUBLE DOUBLE.
HER: A double double, OK one sec...

We pay for our coffees and 2 cookies. Pick up my coffee then hurry to arrivals to wait for Sese. Open my coffee cup and damn it I smell chocolate mint. Choo backed up 3 steps when he saw the steam coming out of my ears.

All I wanted to do was walk back over there and loose my mind but then I saw oldest walking out from baggage with her little cow print luggage ( rolling luggage at that ) and the coffee fiasco went away.

If the distraction is good enough all the bad stuff goes away for a minute.

Anyway, Thank s for sticking with me for another week!

See Ya
