How do I love thee. Let me count the ways.

Reason #325 as to why I love Anthony.

I came home one Sunday from a long day at work.

"Come outside and see what I did today," he says.

Love him.

*Can you figure out why I said "325"? :-)

A Three Hour Tour.....

I decided to go out of town this past weekend
to visit some of my friends in Indy who I was missing dearly.
I had heard great things about the MegaBus,
so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon.
(Plus I knew that I could read my book, which was a huge plus)

Arriving right at 11am,
I noticed that there were a TON
(at least 150)
of people waiting.

Hmm.....I guess these buses are really big.

Much to my chagrin,
someone informed me that uncharacteristically,
the buses were running late.

Super late.

The 9am departures had not left yet.

Crap.

So, I decided to chronicle my time waiting.

11:20am
Watch Megabus arrive (3 times total)

11:22am
Watch people get off bus looking happy and refreshed from their journey.

11:27am
Watch as everyone (not so patiently)

runs to get to the front of the door to board,

just as the driver switches the "Indianapolis" sign to read

"Not In Service"

Grrrrreat......

11:45am
Scope out cool Chicago-themed tattoos.

11:46am
Wonder is she thinks tattoo is still as awesome as when she got it.
I mean, I love this city.
But enough to ink the skyline on my arm?

12:07pm
Take self portrait.
Because one can never have too many shots of themselves
sitting on a sidewalk waiting for a bus.

12:09pm

Look at said portrait.
Realize that my sunglasses are GIANT.

12:15pm-12:37pm

Shoot from the hip.

For all of you who aren't into photography,

it goes a little something like this...

1.Place camera near hip.

2.Take pictures.

3.Check out your cool pics.

I for one, love doing this.

It felt a lot more adventurous when using film

because the outcome wasn't instantaneous,

but I still enjoy it.

12:45pm.
Count number of girls wearing oversized button-downed shirt dresses.
1,2,3,4,5,6.

12:58pm
7,8,9

1:01pm
Realize I am behind the times with this trend.

1:07pm

Realize that I am not,

nor ever really will be a trendy girl.

1:08pm

Resolve to not care and instead take pretty pictures of buildings.

1:15pm

Realize that the bus is over 2 hours late.

1:16pm

Grumble because of lateness and hunger.

1:17pm - 1:23pm

Contemplate Indian food.

Contemplate Indian food + 3 hour bus trip.

1:25pm

Thumbs down to Indian.

Stomach issues and portable bathrooms do not go well together.

1:27pm

Make friends with others who are waiting.

Realize we have tons in common....

Most importantly, our hatred of waiting for this bus.

1:48pm

Continue discussion with new friends.

Realize waiting isn't so bad when you have someone to talk to.

I mean, at least it's nice outside.

1:49pm

Stare at sky.

Spot impeding storm.

1:50pm-1:52pm

Rain.

Use pillow for cover.

Hey, at least it only lasted 2 minutes!

1:53pm-2:15pm

Talk with new friends about how awesome Chicago is.

Get really excited to explore new places.

2:17pm

Bus arrives!

3 hours and 17 minutes late!

2:18pm

Happily board a very packed bus.

2:30pm

Bus leaving Chicago.

I guess I might as well read my book now.

7:00 (Indy Time)

Arrive.

Get off bus.

Have awesome weekend.
