my beautiful scarf

well, good news, i arrived safely. aren't you glad i'm back to blogging? ; )

my trip was pretty uneventful, a few highlights would include:
a) brandon, the 1 year old who barfed the whole of last night in the seat behind me!
b) the fact that they have added an express bus between calgary and edmonton at the time i need it so i actually get to have lunch before 3:30pm and got to have it at 11am... yay, i didn't have to starve.
c) i didn't have to sit beside any dirty old men like has happened in the past.
d) not all my buses were full so sometimes i got my own seat and a little sleep.
e) i got to see the most wonderful moon-rising i have ever seen... a lovely peach harvest moon over a frozen lake with all purples and blues in the sky, words could never do it justice.
f) hearing many a cellphone conversation (this is not the norm for me, i have only seen one or two cellphones on my campus) this past day, i was immensely thankful that i have never had a lukewarm telephone conversation that i can remember that ended with an unenthusiastic "i love you." its sad, shouldn't love be vibrant and full of life?
g) my luggage arrived with me and not after me.

the low point of my trip would have to be when i got in the car with my mom and my sister at the end of it all and realized that i had forgotten my favourtist scarf ever, the rainbowy one that took me forever to knit myself two winters ago that always gets lots of compliments, yeah, i forgot it on my seat. so i phoned the bus station people at the next bus depot and they said they would look for it but stuff like that usually gets stolen.

so here's hoping there are still good samaritans out there and no one is walking around peace river with one particularly beautiful scarf that someone else really misses.
