Hello Friends!!!


Well as you can imagine I've just be ultra busy with my lavish life style !...Wait for it..(insert sarcastic laugh here)Truth is I my friends, have been mighty low lately . I just can't seem to shake it off and it's effecting everything. I've decided I am still going to make this holiday a wonderful memory even though I'm flat broke!

I hung up lights in my house and put out my Christmas nick-nacks .I put up my cute pink tree and I play Christmas music  everyday ! I'm trying to be festive .I really am but I am just not that happy these days. I remember when I was younger Christmas was just the happiest time ever! It wasnt the presents but the events!

Big family get together,dinners,lights,sledding on vacant roads and hot chocolate while watching Christmas movies!The best memories I have happened in the winter! Maybe because there's no snow here I feel like it's not even winter.

Well for some more uneventful news during the past holiday because of my funk that i'm in. I stopped walking for like a week!! soo upset with my self.I started back last night after my brief hiatus.I walked 3 miles yesterday and 2 miles today however i messed up my knee and I'm not happy .I am still determined to work out everyday no matter what.

OK I'm  heading out .thanks for listening ....

*REMEMBER -> YOU MUST LOVE FROGS*

  

Well...
   My weigh in was pretty good ! after 21 days of walking I lost only 5 pounds how ever i can finally fit in to my thin jeans !!! AND THAT MY FRIEND IS AWESOME!

So my weight is 287 as of last week ... Ive been a little stress this month though .. lost a family member who will be missed greatly and I am sick ! how ever I have walked 21 days !!!Consistently striving for improvement for my self , reminding my self that the out come will always be worth it !!

I have decided to make an entire segment about my 21 day experience .This is the first time I did something for myself completely ! I have truly amazed my self and I am so proud of my self !! I tell everyone about my walking I tell everyone how it heals your soul!If you are tattered or broken WALK!This is the best therapy I have ever had in my life!

I feel as I broke though a milestone and I'm high off life's many treasures. I finally have found some inner-peace . Even though it's been hard walking a mile or 2  a day. I'm still here! I might not have lost a lot of weight but I have  lost inches I can tell! Ive become my own best friend which is awesome ! So 21 days did change my life, The entire purpose  why I created this blog! I finally did it and I am going to continue to DO IT!!


So now for my picture of myself as promised since my first weigh in ( I'm in my thin jeans I couldn't fit in theses in October) . I was going out this evening , the picture inst that great but I think I look good ! Thank you all for your support and encouragement ! We will seize the day we will concur all !!

ON THE HOUND

GREY HOUND BUS
Stories Abut 
The Dog.

As many of you know I was recently inaugurated  as a Grey Hound Bus traveler. This experience was  one of my lifetime, for the mos part  it wasn't that bad ...

In all reality you should never believe someone who says "It wasn't that bad " but in this case you do , you'll  have to either;

• A) Experienced a Grey Hound Bus before
•  or
• B) take my word for it ...

Well I dunno about you but what do you normally do when you don't know about something and you want more information ... you research it !! So that's just what I did... I Googl'ed pictures  of the buses and read testimonials  all seemed far in love and war until, I decided  let's see what YouTube has ...

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=greyhound+bus&oq=greyhound+bus&gs_l=youtube.3..0l10.7791107.7796430.0.7798003.13.8.0.5.5.0.268.1462.0j5j3.8.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.c9W8hfBMrv4

 Just in case you want to witness the extreme excitement I witness click on that link above and allow  your self  to absorbs all of the fun filled facts  that one was able to experience!! =D

First let me state I am a long time suffer of social paranoia !! So when it was suggested t hat the only affordable way to see my family in Indiana was a Bus! I shit my pants ...ME ...ON A FUCKING BUS,,,FOR HOURS WITH FUCKING PEOPLE !!!....SO with all of  the new gained knowledge the word wide web provided me.I was already nervous ... then I spoke with a very dear friend of mine who told me about her nightmare in explicit  detail about her journey on a Grey Hound , I nearly lost it  here folks !! Finally my  trip has arrived my mother took me to the train station ...
She was nervous I was unbelievably claim while I appreciate my mother accompanying me ... 

I immediately  was taken back to when I was child about to bored a plan and my mother crying and holding my hand and telling me to be good and she loved me  and waved goodbye from the window of the air port  while I  going to visit (D**). 

So then I told my mother  she could stay until the bus came as long as she didn't stand by the window and wave goodbye !! LOL.If it was one thing the video taught me it was Blend in (RULE #1) ...

First Bus :time 8:00pm
At this time I  met my first traveler friend ..(S) ...S  was sitting there  wiping her face at first glance i thought S was pissed off  and in no mood to be fucked with ... well my mother has the gift of charm and while there was a man throwing up in the bathroom and it echoed the halls of the bus station ... My mother was able to strike up a conversation with S ... I learned S was going to Atlanta and we quickly became friends based on destination S was on her way home  after taking care of a family member here in Florida my mother and I  both advised we are dealing with the same as our family member is in hospice too! S and I quickly hit off and as the bus was called we started to line up  and S said  let's sit  together ..

S taught me to always sit on the right side of the bus so you can watch them load your bags ! (RULE #2 ALWAYS WATCH YOUR BAGS) See Grey Hound  is not responsible if your bag is lost and in fact it will be sold  if  found because of the length of time  it takes to find your bag because it's probably several states away ! So S did a great job of that ... We sat in the handicap seat and  we did not have a plug for our phones . all other seats have plugs for you to plug in your phone and the bus came with FREE WIFI !!

So that was awesome...  S and I listen to music and met another special traveler  friend I can not remember her name so we will call her (Tall Big and Nuts TBN) TBN  appeared to be normal and safe to have a social interaction with  only to be fooled later ..TBN was originally on her way to hold a convention for foster children but later changed her story and advises  she was going across country to be manager of a burger joint .. truth is no one will ever know where TBN was going or why ..TBN was a compulsive liar and would mock phone calls of her child calling her on the bus !! S and I figured this out  because her phone would light up when she hit  the screen with her cheek and you could hear no sound coming out the phone and your only 15 inches apart from people . 

The bus driver was nice but it was the start of what as known as the bus driver rules ...
1) no music with out head phones and no music that can be heard to loud from the head phones
2) no loud talking  on the phone, no loud talking period !
3)no talking  to where everyone can hear you 
4) no alcohol  no drugs no weapons 
 of course if you violate any of theses rules or just look wrong at the drivers they will and can throw you right then and there with no bags off the bus !!

so needless to say I was scared to use the phone  plus everyone can hear every word you say ! on one of my buses I heard all  was a woman trying to get a restraining order for  her daughter ... this was not amusing  at all and annoying for 8 hours !!! after stopping several time it was time for me  to arrive at Atlanta and part way with S and hoping to part way with TBN as well .. we get to Atlanta late and there calling for my bus how ever the bus state's  its leaving for Minnesota and I'm heading to Indiana .. CONFUSED  AND PISSED AFTER HAULING MY LUGGAGE AND  SWEATING I GO TO CUSTOMER SERVICE DESK!( time 3 AM)

 
Excuse me can you help me .. I'M not sure if this is my bus or not because it's heading to Minnesota ...

 I say as I look up at this lady  who is crossed eyed and looking like she'll need triple bypass any moment  looks at me like I asked her for the mathematical equation  that fits FOIL.(who remembers FOIL LOL) she stares at me  then reaches for my ticket she had the ticket UPSIDE DOWN!! looking at the ticket turning it over and as i frantically think FUCK THE BUS IS FILING UP AND THERE'S GOING TO BE NO FUCKING SEATS AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS !!!DON'T EVER SIT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS 
(RULE #3 DON'T SIT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS)

Precious says she has to get someone to help her ! As i sit there with my bags waiting watching all of the people bored my bus including TBN, AT THIS POINT I'M THINKING GREAT!! All the sudden this short man and precocious come out  around the corner and the Short man doesn't even look at me he says that your bus mama now get on it or miss  it i said OK thanks i was just trying ... he cuts me off  your gonna miss your bus .. that it .. i exploded i said "WELL I WOULDN'T OF MISSED MY BUS IS YOU HAD PEOPLE WHO COULD  READ TICKETS AND CALL OUT THE CORRECT MOTHER FUCKING LOCATIONS !!"
 I run out the door  saw the bus driver it was woman  i said good morning mam she smiled said good morning and i was on my way to Tennessee and how fucking awesome i got a seat to my self ! Lady bus driver goes over the exact same rules and adds a new one that i laughed at ..."just because i work for the dog doesn't mean i am a dog so if you need something come see me please don't scream" everyone laughed but took note of the point .. the bus ride almost ended with no rudeness or crazies, until the Spanish woman  started talking on her phone when lady buss driver was talking .. now i dunno where your from but if the bus driver gets on the intercom and starts talking .. then you shut up ... but this lady kept talking lady bus driver pulls the bus over .. tells the lady to stop talking on the phone  the lady  stops and shortly we arrived in Tennessee.

Smushedville *(TIME 10:00 AM)
A bus change with a new driver happens at Nashville Tennessee, the new bus is crowded i for got to mention that in Atlanta i met another traveler friend D she was traveling with the best 3 month old baby ever little B. While we waited for our bus  at the station  we chatted and quickly became pals  rule #4 make friends!
Nashville bus arrives and we re-broad as D get in her seat and chat about  not giving up her seat because she paid for two seat..A Greyhound Bus manger bored s the bus. he says who he is and that he received a complaint from one of the passengers about lady bus driver ... at this point I'm thinking ha! Like they really give a fuck . the manager ask what had happen during the bus ride .. all of the reborading passengers advise of the woman  on the cell phone while the lady bus driver was talking... then he said were you all warned ...we all said yes and that we didn't feel like  what she told the lady was unfair.. he laughed and said this is one of the first time  borders agreed with the driver ...

 *Smoke Break*11:45am
while our new driver is about to take seat, the bus is getting packed...i feel like great I'm going to have to share a fucking seat the whole way to Indiana ! feeling pissed  D starts bitching about if she has to share her seat she going to go fucking off on the driver . suddenly  this nice lady ask if she can sit  here and  she is an  old lady i say OK ! She was from Canada so we will call her Lady-Canadian .I helped her put her bag in the over head and the bus started to pull out. the bus was full except  for 2 seats.TBN was still on the bus !!

 she was all the way up front talk/yelling about something with a passenger! when the bus driver starts to go over the rules now  we were already on the high way when he does this. suddenly he Tell's  a passenger to find a seat and the guy couldn't find one  suddenly the driver pulls over and  leaves the bus .. everyone asking what is going on. someone said he's smoking a cigarette everyone's looking...  lady Canadian and I  look at each other like great this is going to be a long ride! this indecent made me over 10 minutes late for my bus  in Indiana on  MTW and i almost missed it !

Miller Trail Way with wonderful Mrs J!
So as i end my conversation with lady Canadian who was bar far awesome she told me everyone named Angela was special to her and good luck charm, this  could of been bull shit but she was old and concerned about me missing my bus. so i believed her. I dart to my new bus that would take me to Bloomington Indiana! i get to my bus the Miller Trail Ways and this lady with a big voice and friendly tone says hey where are you headed i said Bloomington and she said well come  on in baby that's  where were going . i smiled and was so thankful she was nice and happy i chucked my bag under bus ! she was impressed of my mad bag chucking skills LMAO !

The bus driver  tells everyone to call her Mrs J and makes a  joke about the  fact that  this bus does not have WiFi or that the TV that were on the bus worked. she also said she would sing and that there plenty of room in the back of the bus if you don't like singing ... this bus  was not crowed at all  plenty of room. she was so awesome she joked and talked and would sing . it was an awesome way to end my first  bus trip ! even though someone had there bare feet in the isle and we all know i hate feet Mrs J was so awesome I'm calling Miller Trail Ways and giving her a complement !

 






Bloomington- time 6:45pm
I'm in B-town and my family is waitingme, my butt is soo numb i didn't think i had one i said good bye to the wonderful Mrs J and grabed my bags and headed to the car. I met some  wonderful people on the bus . and some  weirdo's ones as well.. my trip home was nothing happened it was pretty boring and mudane. I did however have the wonderful Mrs J again for my bus in Indiana and she even recognized   me!! she is truly wonderful and made my trip entirely !
