Ode to Buses...

I would like to take a minute to talk about the buses here in China. First, let me say that it snowed here the last few days and the snow quickly turns into ice on the streets...therefore because of my fear of wiping out yet again on the ice I have turned to the public buses (they are 1/8 the price of a taxi...plus who doesn't like being packed like sardines??) So, everyone and their dog takes the bus in the winter, and there is NO limit to how many people you can pack on one bus. Yesterday, however, I think was the most squished I have ever been in my life. So the bus pulls up and all these people (including myself) run to get on...eventhough there are people packed all the way into the stairwell of the bus already and any sane person would think not one more person could fit on the bus. But the bus driver just yells at everyone to squish in, make more room so people can get on. Miraculously, about 5 or 6 of us get on. I am uncomfortably sandwiched between 2 men and there's this little old grandma like in my armpit...and she's like, can you let me by...and I'm like, are you kidding me lady, I can barely breathe let alone move. All this to say...I love the bus!

What the heck is "tagged"?

Ok, so I got tagged...and at first I wasn't really sure what this meant...but thanks to the wonderful world of blog, I have figured it out.

1. My new favorite food is roasted corn. They have people here that roast and sell it on the streets and it is SO yummy...I eat it literally every day...all the corn people know me by name. It's out of season now so I have to go on hunts for it each day to fix my craving...YUM!

2. I have a fear of wiping out on black ice while riding my bike...it's happened every year for the past few years...just waiting for it to happen again.

3. Face masks (that look like surgical masks) are really great. The Chinese women really know what they are doing...for the first year I just thought they were stupid, but last year decided to try them out (in the winter). They REALLY keep your face warm, more than a scarf. Although people may laugh at me, I'm sold...they even come in all colors and designs!

4. I have a pet peeve of wasting electricity (i.e. leaving the lights on in a room that your not in, etc.)

5. I like glitter.

we got tagged???

So, I read www.deatheragecafe.blogspot.com & found out I have to now write 5 things about myself..and then I took a closer look & realized it was just Kel...Thankfully the Supers had me as a tagger....Thanks for saving me from embarrasement

-I recently got into the whole "Naked Juice" fan club. I always thought it was too expensive until my homeopathic doctor friend came out who can look at your eyes & tell you what is wrong w/your body. A major diagnosis is always--POOP IN YOUR EYES...ross & i always joke about this. But anyways, that naked juice will re-define the word regular if you know what I mean. You will feel like a new person--You Go Organic!!! & with all that fruit they stick in there--I mean I would get tired eating that much!

-I own Bring it On 2--It's Already Been Brought & fell in love with this new dance called Krumping...yeah, it looks like fighting & is sweet...you should watch the movie!!!

-My unexplained fear is that I will someday fall into a storm drain. Just watch me--I have a very difficult time stepping on them....oooooh they scare me.

-I own a pair of Uggs....I am so ridiculous....Hey, at least I live in Vail & work in fashion. :)

-We don't have cable & I have no idea what a Tom Tom is.

Ok, bye. I tag Ross Houk (also), Matthew Mann & Graham, Bad Booty B & Foshee.

Happy December!!!

It's my cutie patoootie nephew Tim! He looks like this in every picture.
Don't stop till you get enough.
