... I wish I could blog from the bus. I always think really great thoughts while I ride on the bus, staring out the window, trying to force people around me to make awkward eye contact, waiting patiently to arrive at my destination. But once I get off the bus, the thoughts tend to fly right out of my head... Alas, if only this could be a bus thought blog, your lives would all be enriched.

Instead I'll leave you with this- today while on the bus I was looking out the window and saw this mom carrying her kid- he/she was probably a year old, maybe 18 months- anyway, it's not THAT cold out yet, however the kid was totally decked out "A Christmas Story" style and its arms and legs were stuck sticking straight out from its body (I'm sorry to call the kid it, but well, I have no clue if it was a boy or a girl...). Anyway the mom had her arm around the kids body so then its head, arms and legs sticking straight out in big puffy winter gear *kind of* made it look like a starfish. I literally laughed out loud at the sight.

... I'm pretty sure people who see me on the bus very often think I'm insane. I'm okay with that. :)
