Go, gonna board gonna board- Gonna board the midnight train!

So first of all, how cool am I to have my very own countdown with a baby's face that's probably as fat as mine was? Shaweet.
On the Greyhound note, you left out when we almost got stranded! The bus driver pulled over in some random state at some random McDonald's or something and told us all we had something like five minutes to get food, eat it, and get back on the bus. No exceptions, we will be leaving in five minutes. If you are not here, I will leave you. So, since we were starving by this time and in desperate need for some air, we synchronized our watches and set out off the bus into the Mickey Dee's. I swear, we barely got our food and started to sit down with 3 minutes to spare, when the bus pulled away from the curb! I frantically grabbed all the food while yelling, "Oh Noooooo! It's leaving us, Minnie! We're going to be STUCK here!" We both scrambled to the door, eyeing our watches confusedly and started bookin' it to the curb waving our hands and yelling "Wait! Wait, don't leave us!"
The driver slowed down a little and opened the doors for us, all the while giving us dirty looks and saying things like "I TOLD you five minutes, and I was gonna leave! You need to be on the bus ON TIME, people!" We slunk over to our seats and sat whimpering for awhile, nibbling at our measly meals.
I have to say the worst was the people who sat next to us that hadn't showered, though. That was awful. The whole bus was so packed full of people and I couldn't get any air...I was so claustrophobic. I had to keep my shirt up as a gas mask while I pretend slept. Gross.

No, that babies face is round. Yours was so fat it was almost square. I have proof... somewhere.

When you do a search for "Greyhound Bus" a website comes up called "How to survive a Greyhound Bus Ride". And it says that when a bus driver tells you to return in 15 minutes, you should make sure you return in 7. Why didn't we read these pointers ahead of time? I am sure we lost years off our lives by riding the bus!

MAN! Well...I'm sure if we went now, you would've read that beforehand. Sounds like something you would do to prepare for the trip. We just weren't as seasoned back then...
