A full appreciation for the definition of irony

A few weeks ago i decided to start riding the bus to work in order to SAAAAVE MONEEEEEY.

Sure, it would mean that i would have to drive past the Park and Ride lot to get to the daycare and double back after dropping off the chicks, but it would totally be worth it because it’s going to help me SAAAAVE MONEEEEYYY!

And it almost seems like the hip thing to do. Many of us who don’t really have to ride the bus…yet….find ourselves rubbing our arms for warmth as we tell each other earnestly how $4.00 a gallon has finally driven us to make changes in our lives and thank GOD for the area transit system because we need to SAAAAVVVE MONEEEYYYY!!

Meanwhile, the people who have been riding the buses and trains out of a different sort of necessity wonder when all these other jokers are gonna get tired of being “down to earth” and give them back their seats.

but i digress….

So earlier this week, i got up early, got the girls ready, got us out of the house and them to daycare so that I could go to the Park and Ride and SAAAAAAAVE my little family some serious MONEEEEYYYYY!!

and then i got a $100 parking ticket.

i’ve driven to work every day this week since.
