blogging on da bus!

give some a slight tummyache... but it is awful neat and FUN.  actually the tummyache might be the result of the dirty-water dog i scarfed from the stand as i baked in line for the MEGABUS.  It left fifteen minutes late but I don't care, I'm always late, as long as it doesn't come early then it is the bus for me.

It was more than ten dollars cheaper than greyhound.  and it beats the heck out of the chinatown bus b/c i don't have to go down to chinatown, the workers speak better english and are marginally less gruff, and there is free wifi!  plus i've had one chinatown bus trip where the heat didn't work in January and I had to put on all the clothes I had in my luggage and I was still freezing, and another chinatown bus trip where the exhaust from the engine was somehow coming into the bus and people were getting headaches and barfing so i popped out the emergency hatch on the ceiling because the bus driver WOULD NOT stop and we needed oxygen.  That made him stop.

so, IMHO, megabus gets thumbs up and chinatown bus gets thumbs down except for mega short trips like to philly.

I am super-tired.  i couldn't sleep in the death heat last night and i don't have money to run the A.C.   sucks.  but that's what it is.  also i was nervous because i always get nervous before any trip, stupid but true.  I am going to Cape Cod with my mama :)  never been there and i've never been on  with my mama before  it will be mostly just she and i, but my brother kevin will be around too which is great because he wants to go biking, hiking, swimming, running and kayaking with me.

my headphones died and i had to pay $10 for a crap pair of "colby" headphones in Penn Station.  What a gyp.  they are like $2 at the discount store.  highway robbery!   oh well at least they work.  sort of

ok i'm gonna go take a nap b/c this air conditioning is the bee knees!

ps. i really like this ring:

UPDATE I WOKE UP FREEZING and had to put on all the clothes and towels so i wouldn't die of hypothermia.  geez.  this is very silly.  i'm almost to albany now.  my papa is gonna pick me up.

good and grand

this is grand:  instant fun



fun is fun.  today was fun too!  well first of all today was tired because i didn't get home from babysitting until like 12:30pm last night and then i had to get on a train and a shuttle bus and train and the greyhound bus and then come to albany.  Please note that greyhound totally SUCKS!  they sold me an e-ticket, and i selected to print it out, and it was supposed to come in my email, but it never did, and they said i  but it was worth it because i got to hang out with LILY! last night and she is awesome.

why did i go through all this traveling and waking up early and whatnot?  because TODAY is GRANDMA MURIEL'S 90th birthday!  my mom made an awesome cake, my cousin bethany made a neat slideshow of old pictures that made lotsa people cry, and I got to see all my paternal cousins( minus Ravi who was on his honeymoon and my brother Lank who is in Israel, and who I miss very much).  I had a fabulous time hanging out with the little people... my second cousin who i thought was my niece but anyway Ravi's daughter Kohana who is beautiful and sweet and who kept saying "hi" over and over to me, Annika (my precious niece who i love to bits and pieces)  and Nathan, who was instrumental in keeping the girls entertained and who is a little gentleman who held the door for me.  It was a fabulous day and I loved it.

My sister Kara came to me with a paraplegic infant squirrel problem which I was able to solve for her with minimal difficulty.  Big thanks to my beloved Papa for the assist.

awesome pictures i stole from my sister mirmir!

Are my cousins gorgeous or what?

I ate a salad with chicken. It was awesome.  Annika stole lots of chicken from me, but I love her so it's ok.  I also stole some of her chicken fingers so we are even.

Man I love my family :)
