New Blog, Day 1....

While I was on the train the other day, it stopped.  Now this is not an uncommon occurrence, but on this particular day I was in a car with a group of obnoxious teenagers, and as we were waiting and the conductor made the 'this train will be delayed' announcement, I overheard one of the said annoyances say 

"FOREVER!"

And then I got to thinking....

What if the train DID stop here forever, and this my personal subway purgatory and I am left to spend the rest of eternity listening to overstimulated 15 year olds talk about inappropriate subjects in voices at a volume that you would think they were in a wind tunnel?!

So naturally, I fell into deep thought...

What if that was the last time I ever talked to him, I didn't get to say what I wanted to, he'll never know how I really feel!

What if that guy who bought me a drink last night was the one who was supposed to father my children?!  And I gave him the wrong number because I didn't like his T shirt?...I mean, what's so bad about a pseudo-vintage "Virginia is for Lovers" shirt from Old Navy, anyway?  It could be endearing...right?

What if this is it, and the only time I have been out of the country was to Toronto, and even then I stayed in the hotel room the whole time because it was 'too cold'?!  What if for the rest of time, my passport only has a lonely Canada stamp on it.  CANADA!!!

What if my last meal was an Auntie Anne's pretzel with a diet coke??  

And then the train started moving again.

I decided, then and there...from now on, I'll gonna live.

I'm gonna order a regular coke.
