Good morning bloggies.
Happy Tuesday Wednesday morning. One thing I love about long weekends is the four day work week. I hope the week continues to go by quickly!
This morning I am blogging from the train. How about that? Over the weekend I added another piece of technology to my collection – an Asus netbook. A few of my friends have had netbooks for a while, and the ones that commute have found them really fun and helpful on their way to and from work. As some of you know, I have a long commute to work and I am always in search for ways to the travel time more productive. I thought I would give the netbook a try.
Last night on my way home from work I decided to take the train in the morning. It was a long drive in the pouring rain, and I just wanted a break from driving. Somehow I was able to wake up and get out the door in time to make the train this morning. I was so happy when the train actually arrived on time – something that rarely happens even on a good day – never mind throwing in the less than perfect weather (it is raining again today). So, I was thrilled when the train arrived.
I was even more excited when I turned on the netbook and was able to connect to the train’s Wi-Fi. The internet connection is slow, and spotty at best. But it has been able to get the job done so far. I have been able to read emails, catch up on some of my favorite blogs and read some of the New York Times. Not bad for a commute in to the office on a rainy Wednesday morning. This is so much better than driving.
Here is a question for you Greek yogurt enthusiasts. What is your favorite kind of Greek yogurt? I have always been a Chobani fan. Mostly because it was the first Greek yogurt I found in the stores and now because it is almost a full dollar cheaper than my true favorite – Stonyfield’s Oikos. When I was at Whole Foods the Chobani was 1.25 and Oikos was $2.20. I am doing Oikos this week because the Chobani was basically gone from the Whole Foods shelves. Not that I’m complaining – but it definitely added at least 5 dollars to my grocery bill this week. (Almost a dollar extra per container purchased!) I have Stonyfield coupons somewhere, and I must find them.
I also must find my wellies (rain boots) and my umbrella. Because apparently it is never going to stop raining. I was not quite prepared to take public transportation this morning in the rain. But I’m making the best of it. At least I have my rain jacket. Things could be worse.
Happy Wednesday everyone. Here’s hoping for an awesome day for all of us!
You should list all your favorite blogs. Happy that your netbook is working foer you.
Yes, I used to have a blog roll on the side. It disappeared one day. I have to get it back. 🙂
