Is it a Full Moon?
Why do the strangest people take public transportation? Last week wrote Cleveland's worst dressed list, I suppose that happens when the heat and humidity cause delirium. However, sandals with anklet nylons (do those really exist??) can not compare to the creatures of this week. Namely, the girl that barked and howled at the Blue Line because she missed it. I've missed my train more times than I care to think about, yes, I throw a mini-tantrum in my head, usually mutter a few choice words under my breath, never have I howled OR barked at the train. I can say that neither method stops the train.

I'm That Girl
So I've sunk to a new level...today, I was that girl...the one with a dress and the too pale legs. Today, it was worth it, it was SO hot. Not that I'm complaining, in Cleveland, hot is better than cold. Other than being 'that girl', being on the rapid was it's usual, slow, late and broken. Yes, I feel as if I waited endlessly this morning to catch the train downtown. Once it finally arrived, it gave us a scare near E. 79th, when it decided to stall, briefly. It worked out though and I was only a little bit late. The way home was a different story...of course I missed the 4:45 train by seconds, yes seconds (the train was pulling out as I was approaching the turnstile....WHY!?!) as if that was not bad enough, there was yet another malfunctioning train ahead of us (good thing I missed the 4:45 I guess) so we crawled at snails pace until they figured something out....let's hope they figured it out permanently, for once.

What's With The Outfit??
So I'm still lazy about blogging, but at least I've been taking public transportation. It's no longer an option not to...with gas nearing 4 bucks a gallon and my endless stop and go commute to the office is costing me about 20 bucks a week, not to mention parking and wear and tear on my vehicle. It's a mere 3.50 to commute round trip on the rapid, saving me about 13 bucks a week after parking, still not counting wear and tear. I no longer feel guilty for purchasing my morning (and afternoon) coffee :) The real treat on the Rapid lately has arrived with the warmer weather. I feel as if I've see it all wardrobe wise, and I'm sure this is just a preview of what the remainder of the summer shall bring. I've seen short skirts, tight skirts, appropriately lengthed skirts with slits so high I have to look away with embarrassment! Not to mention skirts with cold weather jacket?? Really?? I am a firm believer that if it's warm enough to be wearing a skirt and sandals you should NOT be wearing any type of coat. There are a few other head turners that I'm too afraid to mention as they are so outrageously specific I would feel too bad to call anyone out on it...let's see what tomorrow's 80 degrees will bring :)
