Bus Stop Starbucks

Hello! It's been awhile, ok over a year since I've contributed to my own blog.

Now that I've mastered Twitter it's time to tackle another beast...my blog!!!

Here's an except from my life last week I hope you find it entertaining:

The time is a little after Noon on a Tuesday at Starbucks.

I sit down for all of 10 mintues to take a load off with my Grande Americano. There are two leather-y chairs and they face out but slightly in. A girl about my age is sitting in the other one. I sit down and all of 1.5 minutes goes by before she says to me:

'Excuse me is it about 3pm or a little after 3pm?'

I say (because I'm currently emailing on my Blackberry & I don't own a watch) 'no, I think it's a little after Noon, maybe 12:05'

She says

'Oh gosh wow I had more time than I thought I didn't realize it was so early!!'

I politely nod and say no big deal

A few minutes pass and she whips out her flip phone and declares

'Ah I see it is only a little after Noon I guess I could have looked at my phone!'

Right...

Then the best part comes. S-bucks is located right by a Trimet bus stop.

She looks at me and says

'out of curiosity how early do you think that the people should get to the bus stop? I mean because sometimes it seems like they're there about 30 minutes before the bus comes. And that's a long time to wait don't you think?'

At this point I am perplexed, I don't know what to say...I mean how do I EVEN answer this? I'm trying not to laugh so I say

'Uh I dunno'

She says

'oh sorry to bother you I just was wondering'

So I'm waiting for my exit, I go back to emailing on the BB but really I need to get outta here - pronto. She gets up to put something in her coffee and I bust out of there.

I think she lost her marbles awhile ago. She wasn't a bum I mean she was dressed typical NW style on a rainy day.

Hi & welcome to my first blog!

It was a gorgeous Fall day in Portland. Kobe & I took a walk to the dog park early this morning. I am enjoying the crisp clear cool temps. in the morning that lend way to warm sunny afternoons. It's amazing what types of people inhabit my 'hood:

-Man with cat carrier and transportable egg crate

-Hip couple eating McDonalds while their beagle checked out Kobe

-A very loud noise...way too early in the morning, a guy literally putting his car door back together (by hand??)

-People too dressed up for brunch

-And finally we ran into my neighbor at a local bakery who's super nice

Well I'm off to make some organic chicken fajitas for dinner. They were going to be tacos. Turns out the co-op is allergic to selling red meat. Go figure!
