while on the train this morning, i saw a man sitting across from me with a couple bags of vegis. he had lettuce and tomatoes, herbs and well, um, something i'm not sure has a name. it was kind of like a HUGE zucchini. but also like a gourd. and similar to a cucumber, while looking like a watermelon. anyway, check it out. it goes all the way under his chair!
i don't usually expose where i hear the phrases i use or who said them. however, in this case i have to so that people don't think i got lucky last night...
while on the N judah this morning, a girl got off at a stop and yelled to the guy she was with "it was fun waking up with you this morning!" as she was exiting the train.
WOW!
i an attempt to one up yesterday's wild commute story...
after i got off the N judah this morning i headed up the escalator and decided i needed something yummy from pete's. i stopped and ordered just that. then i headed to the second escalator. while walking up the left hand side something incredible happened.
i fell. yes, i fell up the escalator in true donna fashion. in my defense, i am 5'11" and have a size 8 foot. i was born to be clumsy.
here's some proof:
my poor urban flip-flop...
this actually happened through my jean's pant leg...
but no worries, i saved my delicious beverage...
like most days, i hopped on the N judah this morning. there was a 70ish year old woman sitting in the first seat. i stood in front of her, holding onto the hand rail. other than her kramer like hair-do. she seemed pretty normal. until this happened..
she started screaming "NOOOO!". i looked around, trying to see what she was yelling about. then i realized - it was me! she pushed her huge old lady glasses down and started glaring at my shoes. then she dug into her mary poppins carpet bag, similar to this one (however, i am sure she paid much less) and took out some sort of scripture like book. there was dirty masking tape on it, taped in place to represent a religious symbol. she was waving it at me, calling me the devil. then she kicked me. that's right, she kicked my shins and began stomping on my feet! i was in such shock i couldn't even tell her to stop. i looked down at myself, thinking i must had forgotten to put pants on before leaving the house. thankfully, that was not the case. clearly, she was insane. she must have hated my shoes...
and honestly, i don't think i really look like a devil. do i?
"have a good day" - those simple words can mean so much to someone!
