All Aboard

I rode the subway on Friday. Big Deal right? Yeah well this was my first solo trip in thirty years. I know it is silly, but it has always intimidated me. With all of the grumpy people pushing to get onto the platform and the numerous tracks and trains to choose from - I was very nervous.

What if I got on the wrong train, took it completely out of the way and then showed up a half hour late for my meeting? But I had no choice, after doing the calculations, I knew I would never make it in time I if I tried to walk it - plus it felt about 40 below outside.

Now while it was a breeze (I asked three people what train to take and then on the train asked two more people where I need to get off)I held my breath the entire time and not because of the smell.

As the train came to a stop I thought(besides please, please don't let anyone push me into that gap)- I TRIED SOMETHING NEW!!

What time is it?


I have been slacking with my posts, but to be honest I haven't branched out to try anything new lately - well that is besides the wonderful new DVR box I acquired a few weeks ago. I love, love, love it! I am so excited that I didn't have to schedule my life (I know what life) around my favorite shows anymore. Now I just pop it into the schedule and it is waiting for me whenever I can watch it. One problem I am finding it that I now no longer have a concept of time. Usually I knew that when my 9pm show was over, it wouldn't be long before I was laying my head down to sleep. But now I watch about three or four shows at a time and often find myself loosing track and getting to bed much later than I hoped. Okay so it is still only 11pm, but a girls got to get her beauty sleep.
