For more reasons that i can count, i'm fortunate. More than anything, it's because of who loves me.
I am married to someone who rarely makes a big fuss for me on my birthday, during xmas, or valentine's day.
Instead, every day, day in and day out, he makes a fuss about how much he loves me. He doesn't seem to need a reason to get me flowers; to write me a little note; to send me a special email. All of it just to tell me he thinks i'm swell, his bestest girl.
Sure, i could have met and married someone who would give me diamonds on my birthday and send me chocolate and flowers on valentine's day.
But i met someone better. Someone who appreciates me every day. And doesn't need a reason to tell me.
I think he's swell.
I'm a better person for knowing him.

NFTA Trip PlannerCategory: transportation
I am trying my damnest to use this thing, this NFTA Trip Planner online. Very interesting results. Seems i have to be 45 minutes early for my appointment at 1pm, or transfer 3 times. Or walk to Elmwood. How hard should it be to get from Bird between Grant and Niagara to Elmwood and Summer?
Maybe it isn't the trip planner, but where we live. Not as many cross town buses as there should be.
What is there to do at the corner of Elmwood and Bryant for 45 minutes?

I have trouble with the trip planner as well. I usually find there are simpler routes than what I get on the site.
I'm glad to hear it worked out for you as far as a ride.

Cool that you are getting a ride. I have tried to use that trip planer and it dosn't work for me. I usaly have to go by the bus schedulles. The reason you had problems was that the #22 porter best bus dosn't run that often but the #12 should run ok that gets you like a block away. maybe this one will show up on your journal we shall see?

Peeps are saying comments can't post, so i reckon this is a test.
I got a ride... didn't need to hang out on the corner after all. :O)

Sneezie LeezieLeezie was my nickname in highschool. Then, amongst the crowd i hung with, pig latin became popular (oh, i know, we were the coolest), and i did my best to drop the nickname Leezie! Those of you that know pig latin may understand why.
I have been sofa bound for a couple of days. Saturday night hit it me hard. I thought i escaped the cold bug (e:Uncutsaniflush) had... but it looks like i didn't. Damn it.
On another far more possitive note...
Happy Birthday, (e:Paul)!

That reminds me very much of my grandparents. I never got to see how sweet my grandfather was until after they had both passed away and I was reading my grandma's cards she had gotten from him over the years. He was the same way - so sweet and so in love with my grandma and always told her. I remember hoping so much that I find someone just like that, and you seem to have done that! How great for you both :)
that is too cute. i hope i meet someone like that...
I think it's wonderful that you both have each other. It's nice to read an uplifting entry like this. I hope you had a great day.
See? This is how it should be.
TEARS!
Aww, love. That's so great. I can only hope that someday I find that person as well.
