Happy Monday??

So I got off to a bumpy start this morning. Woke up late, scrambled to get ready & get to the train station. Just BARELY made my train. Didn’t nap on the way in as much as I wanted to – a group of high school kids were in my train, all packed up, ready to go only God knows where (Spring Break, maybe??).

Anyway, once I got to Penn, I head for the Subway to catch the train into Times Square, and it ended up being delayed – I had to wait a good 25 minutes or so for the damn thing. THEN, to top it all off, asshole New Yorkers decide that even though theirs isn’t the next stop, they’re going to go and stand in front of the exit doors. These two people, who aren’t exiting Times Square (the next stop) are standing at the doors, so when I need to get out, they’re just, like, trying to step over so that I can squeeze through. And I’m not a big person, but I had a couple bags with me, so I’m like worming my way between them. God, how annoying. If yours isn’t the next stop, don’t stand by the doors!! It’s as simple as that…sheeesh.

Then things took a turn for the better. I got out at Times Square and there’s sort of like a revolving exit that we have to go out of – this slightly overweight (she wasn’t that big or anything, but you could tell she had a few pounds on her) black woman went through before me, and I followed just behind her. She kept turning around and looking back as we went through, and even as we went through the stairs afterwards, and couldn’t figure out why, until she said, “I didn’t think I’d fit -I’m amazed I made it through there!” I couldn’t help but laugh with her as she said that! Too cute!

And the final cherry on the sundae? There were all these girls from the GAP, dressed all pretty in their khaki trenchcoats, with baskets of flowers in their hand. One came up to me and chirped, “Happy First Day of Spring from the GAP,” and handed me not one, but THREE pink roses! Now, I don’t know what it is, but receiving flowers could put a smile on ANY girl’s face!

It could be a great Monday after all!
