All I Can Say is......

Welcome to the Final Four!!!!! It was quite tense at our house yesterday as the Jayhawks barely slid by Davidson. To be honest we were a bit worried. So with a heavy sigh of relief I wait until April 5.......


Now I proceed to the meat of this blog. Because I presume that the only people who will actually read this are my friends. I am not going to bore you will the details of my life. I will only say this... The commuter train is full of luscious blog ideas...

If you know me, you already know about my aversions. Those quirkisms that make my skin crawl. For instance, the way birds line up on a telephone wire...I have to honk my horn...it is so gross, or the Oxycontin head....(M2 and DDaug) you know this one. EWWWW! Just thinking about it makes me sick......Over the past week I have been compiling a mental list of the people on the commuter train who just make me sick....

1. The "Just For Men" mustache guy who wears man jewelry.

• First off if you are going to dye your mustache make sure it is not jet black when your hair is light brown. Secondly, don't wear man jewelry. I hate man jewelry, it just ooogggs me out. GROSS....Can someone tell me who really likes a man who wears jewelry? I understand the wedding ring, but a link bracelet, a pinky ring and a big fat necklace. Oh!!! Behave would you. Just Nasty! To top it all off, he still writes checks and licks stamps. Ok Buddy for my sake please do online banking. Save me from having to look at your slimy tongue lick that poor little stamp. This guy repulses me.

2. The Chick who puts make-up on while on the train

• Why do you feel that 15min. less sleep would kill you.
• Do you have to wear that bright purple eye shadow that makes you look like a and 80's hooker.
• Stop looking in the mirror, you've already admired yourself about 50 times. (Take it from me sister, you weren't pretty 5min. ago and you're still not pretty) Ouch I'm mean!!!

And now for the absolute most grotesque story ever:

3. The lady who eats her bagel sandwich, puts it on the chair next to her and picks her teeth.

• For someone with my "quirkisms" this will drive you insane. One of those moments when you know you shouldn't be looking but just can't help it.
• She proceeds onto the train looking as if she was about to hyperventilate, fanning herself uncontrollably and I thought for a second she was going to pass out.
• She then walks over to the little drinking station, grabs a disposable cup, brings it back to her chair and drinks. (Side Note: I find this drinking station disgusting in itself)
• After drinking, she pulls the unwrapped bagel sandwich out of her purse, lays it on the "well used" train seat and then picks it up and eats it...
• As she eats, she intermittently lays the sandwich back down and (brace yourself) starts picking her teeth with her ungodly long finger nails. Just a minute, I have to take a break

I have grossed myself out thinking about it.

Okay am back.

• Whatever she picks out of her teeth she sucks it back in because heaven forbid she lose just a bit of calories.

So this in a nutshell is a typical morning of observation for me. I hate to bombard you with such yucky details, but I need to vent....hope you enjoyed the snap shot. Until later....
