Believe in the magic of Christmas :)

One day, hopefully in the far away future there will be a film about my life. After I die, that is. Until then everyone will just get far less interesting, censored snippets of it. Today was quite the adventure to say the least! As most of you know, financially I'm at the lowest of lows in my life..there's a point in knowing that...I'm car-less, and broke but because I am my mother's daughter I walked to CVS to buy a bottle of wine for a Christmas Eve celebration, 25 minutes later and $35 later I walk out with a bottle of champagne and a small gift for my friend's daughter who's throwing the soiree..off to the house to grab the laundry, get dressed and of course push back my departure time and check on the next bus time. I'm good, dressed, ready as I'll ever be, gifts wrapped, in hand and I off to a pajama party. 3 blocks later at the corner of where I need to catch the bus I wait..I step onto the bus....wait it's the wrong bus? Well, where's the one going here...uhh (looking up cross streets in my phone) Shit, good thing the light is red so I have time to go from the NE corner to the SW before the right bus swings by..I'm on it! I'm golden! 10 minutes til my transfer..K cool...Confirm this is the right stop to catch the connecting bus with the driver except she has no idea..awesome! Luckily, the guy waiting at that stop knew I was in the right place because he was waiting for the one I needed...sweet! Now, I catch this one for 45 min til my next transfer...got this in the bag. Now, I'm sure I'm heading East but when I get of the bus I get mixed up, again on the wrong corner and watch my bus drive away..sweet! That's what I get for asking two 20something year old guys stoned out of their mind "Which way's SW"? doh! *Thinking* K, I'll wait...How long could the next one be? I'll google map it with public transit selected..ahhh! Why does it say go up a couple blocks in which direction? I'm not sure now..and to catch a different bus?! Too confusing I'll just see if this one comes again...10 minutes go by. Hmm..Let me Call my friend..maybe her husband can pick me up here instead of from the third bus closer to their house. He says yes...I start walking towards him, but it's the wrong way. I only know this because thank God he made the man who invented Apple who hired the guy who hired the guy who hired the guy who invented the iphone who stole it from someone else or however it landed in my hands who knew the guy that invented the little blue gps dot on my screen...phew...Thank little baby Jesus! So I start walking the right way..but we pass each other so I back track a few blocks to meet him at Carls Jr. And now we're on our way! My champagne, the gift and my fuzzy snowflake pj pants made it in one piece..and that was all before the party started...that's when things get awesomely weird amongst a small group of awesome people, champagne, baked goods, the naughty and nice kind ;) and Christmas cheer. I'll save the party details and the even wilder ride, lost, really long walk home for a later blog. Merry Christmas! It's bed time...Have to be up early to give back and see before my eyes how much worse it could be and help those in real need :) Remember the real reason for the season. My reasons, are love, family, friends, adventure, and selflessness. I'm thankful for all of you because you believe :)
