The bus driver nearly drove right by me. He basically slammed on the breaks when I started jumping up and down and waving my hands like a crazy person. He yelled at me while I was getting on &#8220;for waiting so long before [I] indicated that I wanted to get on the bus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Funny, I would have thought that sitting on a bench at a bus stop was a pretty decent indicator that I wanted to get on a bus.<\/p>\n<p>*************<\/p>\n<p>I signed up to run the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baevents.net\/jinglebell\/\">Somerville Jingle Bell 5k<\/a> (try to ignore the formatting, it could make your eyes bleed). I apparently qualify for the &#8220;Fillies&#8221; Division. Which is to women what Clydesdales is to men. Except that Clydesdales somehow sounds noble (must be all that beer marketing) and Fillies just sounds silly and vaguely condescending. Also? I can&#8217;t help but feel like the race organizers are calling me a fatty, fatty two-by-four.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, they&#8217;re pretty much saying I&#8217;m as big as a horse.<\/p>\n<p>If I ever start my own 5k race, the 140+ lbs division will be named &#8220;The Pretty, Pretty Ponies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because<em> that&#8217;s<\/em> not condescending or anything.<\/p>\n<p>*************<\/p>\n<p>We borrowed my Dad&#8217;s dog on Sunday so that we could do some leash work with Gracie. While I was putting his leash on (the dog&#8217;s, not my Dad&#8217;s), he jumped up and head butted me right in the eye socket. Luckily, the slight bruising on Sunday night had already faded my Monday morning. I was not looking forward to explaining how I got a black eye from a canine.<\/p>\n<p>Although it might have been fun to go around saying, &#8220;You should have seen the other dog.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>*************<\/p>\n<p>When you live with someone long enough, they eventually start to learn all of your little secrets. Like the fact that you like to listen to Lilly Allen while you cook dinner. That you snore quietly when you sleep. That long jogs make you gassy. And, just because the bag from Sephora is small, that doesn&#8217;t mean that you didn&#8217;t just spend an awful lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>I think Kristian&#8217;s on to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took the bus to the mall yesterday (how very High School of me).
