Well, you should definitely remedy that because then everything else will just fall into place, don't you know? ;) I can’t believe you haven’t had hot cocoa yet this year.

I think that makes me more upset than the fact that I am stuck! SJ - Ooo, I would love to be THAT close! :) Happy New Year!!!

I'm so spoiled by living two blocks from where I work. I feel bad for you. On a brighter note, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I can’t even imagine living like this.

But where would I go? To diane's house? Ha ha ha! I hate that they sometimes don't tell us anything, or that when they do... it is totally worthless. No one likes to sit there "in the dark," not knowing. jQ - Today is already a better day! Especially since I know Steven is picking me up at the halfway point tonight. My nights are always better when I get to ride home with him! mom - LOL! YOU TOTALLY CRACK ME UP!!! :P I haven't had ANY hot coco this year! Robin - Happy New Year! :) Sorry to scare you away ;) diane - That's good to hear - at least CTA is getting better! I don't know why I am cursed. Bad karma? :( tori - You're right. I hope no one was hurt! I sat in the car for a bit when I got home to cool down. ;) We had another 30 min. delay after that though. Gina (Mannyed) - I love your pun! Ha! You always know how to make me laugh. I am finally cooled down after yesterday, and thinking I should write a more cheerful post! E – I thought about forcing the doors open! But where would I go?

Man, I know your frustrations with being delayed. A train delay can totally ruin a decent day in an instant. When I would eventually get home after being delayed I would still be in furious mode! I hope you get to chillax (chill/relax) during the next few days. Happy New Year! Perhaps the Metra will get their butts moving on the right track (haha) in 09. Ugh, Kim!

Your mom's comment made me laugh. Too funny! And I remember the train nightmares from when my husband took the train. He'd always be slightly cranky for a few minutes after he got home because of it. I hope you got home just fine! Well, at least you weren’t on that stretcher, right?

You know what is really sad? With all the improvements they've made recently, the CTA is actually becoming much more reliable than Metra. That is just sad. Really, Metra should be embarrassed. I think I'll write a letter! I'm sorry your train sucks so badly. I've never had a really horrible experience (knock wood) with my Metra line (except for being 20 minutes late outside of rush hour now and then). I think yours is cursed!! Hee hee, your Mom’s comment made me giggle.
