Whatupdawg, my community service history, high expectorations, and a workout…

~Friday~  It was cold as a witch’s tit at the bus top this morning, and the bus was on the late, rather than early, side. As we went around a stopped Wolfline bus, I saw Logorrhea running to catch that one. I wondered if she talks as much on that bus as she does on … Read more

Let it snow, a Josh sighting, a Durn Good salad, a Letter Day Saint, and trash at the trailer…

~Thursday~  I played a running joke of Robert’s and mine and opened my blinds this morning saying, “Is it snowing?” And lo and behold, huge flakes were falling. I put on a pot of coffee, fired up my laptop, logged into work, and sent an e-mail to my manager, copying my officemate, that I’d plan … Read more

Buscapades, hunger management issues, cancelations, lame dancing, & a 4th meal…

~Wednesday~  There were only two people on the bus when I boarded this morning, and one of them had a scowl on her face, as if she were unhappy to be riding the bus. It made me think about my attitude about riding the bus. I really enjoy it. However, I don’t have to ride … Read more

Buscapades, an odoriferous day, a weight milestone, 16 & pregnant, and a workout…

~Tuesday~  There were two peeps at my bus stop again this morning, once again an African-American couple, but not the same couple as yesterday. No pictures—portrait or landscape orientation—were taken. They both boarded before me and both said, “Day passes, please,” which is a requirement before putting your $2.00 in the fare machine so the … Read more

Talkin’ and boardin’, babies shouting praise, decent class, maniacal driving, and fun shag lessons..

~Monday~  Another rare occurrence sharing my bus stop with another person, or in today’s case, other people. An African-American couple, he with a pair of ladies hosiery, either beige, nude or tan I’d guess, wrapped around his head, and she with a pair of shiny, black vinyl boots with rainbow-colored polka dots all over them. … Read more

Some morning characters, a weight setback (sort of), going to shag, Sweaty Eddie, & hitting a wall..

~Thursday~  Library Man was aboard this morning, reading the News & Observer. I noticed Mrs. My Three Sons still making the two-block trek to have her kids board the bus where a lot of other kids also board. It’s actually a fairly significant walk for her, as she’s not a petite lady, so it’s extra … Read more

An unscheduled bus stop, the racial divide, a touching sympathy card, class, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more

Can’t get rid of $1100, a bank robbery, and storytelling genius at The Monti…

~Tuesday~  Once again, I had something going on after work and wanted more bus options at the end of the day, so I took the Wolfline bus in again this morning. It was perfect timing, as the bus arrived just as I arrived at the stop. A glance around the bus revealed three people doing … Read more

Getting mom and dad off to Jacksonville, checking in with work, back to the gym, & a snowy night out

~Friday~  Surprisingly, I woke up at about 8:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. I told mom and dad that I’d call them at the Ramada Inn at 10:00 to see when they’d be ready. I was torn between calling them a little earlier and letting them sleep, but if I know my dad, he … Read more
