Jumping ship...er...bus

So...talking yesterday with a couple of classmates definitely got me excited! I feel like time will be dragging, but I have so much to do! They were very excited for me, and proud of the research I've started to do. They know I've always got a game plan! Today's list of discoveries is: cell phone family plans, and the Charleston bus system.

Many of you know I've been riding the Indygo, my bike, walking, cabbing, or getting the handsome Mr. Shows to drive me around- and while I love Indianapolis- our public transpo kinda sucks. SO, I knew I had to check out Charlestons before I made any kind of decision on getting rid of snowflake before the big migration of 2010. I found out that I am in luck! They have SEVERAL companies in SC, and there is a Charleston only system, and a rural system that serves Charleston and two other counties! In Indy, you can get to some places from downtown, but I can't get to Avon, Plainfield, or Carmel without a cab! That's ridiculous. And they just had meetings on cutting more routes! Out of control, I'm jumping ship..or bus rather.

Anyways- I've been enjoying my bus riding (almost) fully ... except for when I'm late, or the bus is late... or I can't find my change- or awkward men who ask weird questions hit on me while I'm trying to read a magazine. Those occasional drawbacks aside-the bus is great in a lot of ways, I can catch up on my reading- do homework, do my make up, text, catch up on tmz, catch up on all of you via facebook... while my commute is longer- I get to take a little me time that doesn't get impeded with road rage. It's pretty sweet- besides that I save a lot of money, and it's something green I can do that is pretty simple! People are so worried about riding the bus- you guys are crazy- it's pretty sweet, and entertaining.

Last night Mr. Shows and I did a little planning together- we got a look at moving companies. I didn't know there were so many options! I have a feeling that for the next few weeks that along with my other slew of junk mail in my inbox, that moving companies will be added to the mess. It was great to snuggle up and take a look at some stuff together- he's so easy to work with, it makes planning fun! This will get stressful- and has been in it's own moments, but at least I've found a good "committee member" to get this adventure rollin'!

The next step today- contact the king of sprint- Brady. Josh and I have decided that when a good deal presents itself we'd combine phone plans. There's many things that we are both positive that we WON'T combine (bank accounts, credit cards, cd collections), but a joint cell plan might not be a bad idea. We shall see.

Stay tuned for more discoveries...
