Hodgepodge


Philadelphia has a bad habit of closing off streets for various activities - worthwhile activities such as the Race for the Cure - but not informing motorists that streets will be closed or providing a detour of any kind. Over the past two weekends, I have lost about 3.7 hours of my life because of this practice. If I was billing the City of Philadelphia for my time, that would cost them about $1,414. So dear city that I really enjoy living in - PLEASE at least put up detour signs. I don't need to be cruising around Ridge Ave and Gunshot trying to find my way home. Also, if I can't go one way, you have to let me go the other way because I am just trying to get to my house and park the damn car that I can't drive because of street closures. Thanks.


On another note, I had an anxiety dream about bizarley's wedding, which is coming up this Saturday. I was running late to drive to the metro-Lex and had to take a subway. But I forgot the bridesmaid dress, so I got in a cab to go home and get it, but I went to every address I have lived at for the past 5 years, forgetting where I actually live. I don't know how it turned out, but no fear bizarley, I will be there on time and with the dress. I even have multiple "pale gold" shoe choices, thank you zappos.


I can't imagine what it is like to actually be the bride. Maybe the gifts make it better?
Totally boring post, but at least it doesn't involve Gymboree disasters.
