Happy Holidays Everybody!

I haven't gotten a ski mask.
I'm such a liar.
In my last post I kept typing about it
and
saying over and over how I was going to get one.
All type, no action.
What's new?!
Not a ski mask.

I'm going to buy a ski mask.

This is it.
You can't stop me.
I'm going to not only buy it,
but I'm also going to wear it.
What do you think about that?

I made this decision last night.
For a few reasons, and here they are:

1)When I was out and about I was very cold
and
kept thinking, "I'm going to buy a ski mask."

2)I walked past a kiosk(sp?)that was selling ski masks
and
thought, "I'm going to buy a ski mask."

3)I'm going to be spending the month of February in the Midwest/Northern Plains Region which has a reputation for being VERY cold that time of year.

AND
most importantly...
4)I just want to wear a ski mask all the time and act mysterious
and
show up at places wearing it then tear it off and whisper,
"It's me, Val Kappa. I got a ski mask."

So, according to superstition type things,
lady bugs are supposed to be lucky.

But what if you're driving a rental car on a major highway and suddenly a lady bug lands on the steering wheel, catching you offguard and causing you to swerve a bit.

And you think to yourself, "I'm so lucky!", as you continue swerving on the highway.

After one swerve too many you realize the lady bug is distracting, and you need to lose it.

So you toss it out the window, and to it's death.

Does that cancel out the luck?

Scary bus moment:

I bussed it back to Boston for a day.

And when the bus driver got on the bus she closed the door to the bus and said,
"Hey everybody, I'm not from around here.
Now I know Boston is north.
But anybody know how to actually get there?"

All of us on the bus responded to her question with silence.

Then she said,
"Just kidding!"

And honked the horn on the bus.
