Random Thoughts...because I know you're reading this.

The ankle bone is called the Lateral Malleolus but I think Mandulabobula sounds better.

Why do people think that if they talk louder on a phone who's reception is going in and out you'll be able to hear them?

Why haven't the Amish started stalking me? Are they too good to play my game? Am I not interesting enough?

Why is it that people say you are what you eat? I mean I don't think I look like a vat of Nacho Cheese or a over grown sour gummy worm...do I?

When people say I'll talk to you later...when is later? I mean am I supposed to expect a call in an hour? The next day? Next month? Seriously, I have things to do so please be a bit more specific.

Why do you celebrate Easter or Christmas if you don't even believe in God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Yes of course all holidays have some part to them that are not religious...but these two have such a firm foundation in Christianity.

When you think about how you want to spend the rest of your life...am I included? Just wondering. :-)

A little guy on the train (maybe 4) just offered me some of his flaming cheetos. Lol

Today as I leave the Spring Street lobby of the Los Angeles Times and begin my trek home I am reminded of a couple things. First Little Engine That Could. I wobble, yes wobble that is what people do who are a bit over weight and have only one good knee to...we wobble. I wobbled up the hill repeating "I think I can. I think I can" and just like that little engine, I made it up that hill. Then as I was just about to the top the hill the cross walk sign changed and I thought uggh I'll never make that light. Then just like that little ant I got myself some high hopes and fought my way through the light. One hurt knee won't keep me down. Who am I kidding? ouch! Maybe I should drive to work...nah then I would have nothing to write about. When in reality today I can tell about the gross young lady to the right of me who is not only chewing gum she is also blowing bubble and slurping them back in. It has to be the most gross thing I've heard in a while. Oh, I forgot to tell you about the wonderful human being who almost knocked me off the stairs because I was hobbling to slow for him today. Being lame and I mean lame in the true sense of the word...unable to walk normally due to an injury affecting the leg or foot and not the other meaning something trying to be entertaining but is dull and uninspiring. Though who am I to say if I am not truly both types of lame. But I digress. Where was I? The gum popper/slurpper is breaking my concentration and it is not at all my adult a.d.d. Now the loud cell phone talker is behind me. Doesn't he know no one on the other end of the phone can hear him any way over the noise on the metro. Back to my point (yes I have one)...i have a new found respect for people who have to deal with these types of problems on a daily basis and I don't mean briefly like me but daily. God has shown me that sometimes I just need to slow my feet and self down. Take in your surrounding and breathe. You can't rush rush rush with only one good wheel. Walking slowly helps me to see more of what is around me and also reminds me I need to start taking better care of me...no body else is going to.

Have you ever heard of Arnica? My mom and gradma used to use it on us all the time when we were little. My dad calls it mexican voodoo medicine. I'm currently sitting here on the metro just reading my book and low and behold there it is in black and white. "bound up her foot with arnica..." Wonder what my dad would say if he knew they used arnica in the time that Little Women was written. Nope pops it was not Los Senoritas pequenas (not sure of the spelling) Lol.

End of the world

Did you know the world is coming to an end May 11, 2011? This man on the train just told me. It will be 7000 years from the flood of Noah. WOW, you learn a lot on the train. Hope he is wrong.

Crop Dusting

Ever sit on a train for 30 mins with some man's butt in your face? I mean seriously can't you stand sideways? This is just gross. It makes me wonder how many times when we are walking behind someone do they release gas. I mean like when you are hurrying up the stairs behind a lot of people or like right now. I mean really, none of you've thought about that?

Here are a few conversations I have had in the past week that mad the train fun. One day a lady saw me reading my kindle and asked me a few questions about it. When I started talking you better believe I would not shut up. Lol. I had to fill her ears with all the research that I had done on all 3 of the popular ereaders. Gave her specifics on the good and the bad. I was on a roll when I heard a voice in my head say...Terri shut up. Haha

The next day on the way to the train an older man asked me if I could spare some money. I told him no, but I could give him an apple if he'd like. He was so happy his eyes sparkled and she said he loves apple and thanked me a lot. Even called me an Angel. Lol I was just happy to help.
the end

Sometimes in our life we can wander around in a haze and we find oursleves having conversations with ourselves,in our head and out loud. Today I witness the singing homeless lady have a conversation with God out loud. She was telling him that it is very cold outside right now at night and she just wanted a new jacket. Seemed like God told her that he could not give her one. She said to him that it is fine if he won't but she'd still really like one. This convo went on for a few minutes and when her stop came she walked away from the corner and started for the door. Just than a man said ms you forgot your jacket. A brand new jacket. Awe I know so cool! Here's the punchline it was her jacket the whole time! Just one of those days I guess. Lol

I have been sitting next to this young lady for 30mins now and l could tell you her whole life story. Oh and it could be on a soap opera. Even better she is chewing gum so loudly I could scream
