Time to start blogging :)

Hello Friends!

I guess it's about time I jumped back on the blogging bandwagon! :) In future posts, I'll give updates on whats going on in the life of the Newton's (ex new house in tyrone, chad starting school at tech...again!, our puppy...) but for now, I wanted to share something that happened to me yesterday...

So I take MARTA to and from work everyday- it probably takes longer than it would for me to drive to work, but it saves a little bit of money and allows me to catch up on my reading!! (although I really need to go to the library to get some books- I'm rereading the HP books in French, and as you all know, I've read these books wayyyy too many times! haha). So yesterday, after walking to my car after getting off the train, I saw a hand written note folded under one of my windshields. I won't write out the entire note (its pretty long) but the gist of it was:

"Dear fellow traveler... I've seen you on MARTA several times. A few days ago, I smiled at you and was friendly, because I tend to be friendly when I see people like you, and I think you took it the wrong way. I am married with kids and was just being friendly. I'm sorry if I freaked you out. Sincerely, your Fellow Traveler."

In thinking back to the previous days, I don't remember feeling overly freaked out by any one person in particular- and I guess his note was thoughtful... but now I am a little scared! not of the 'fellow traveler' necessarily, but it makes me realize that it would be fairly easy for a person to remember where I park, what car I drive, when I get to MARTA and when I leave to go home, because I'm pretty good about following a set schedule- and I tend to park in the same general place. Makes me feel a little less safe I guess. I'm sure I'll forget that this happened in a couple of days, but until then, I'll probably be a little more cautious than normal- walk around my car to make sure noone's there- etc. And maybe you should be too!

so 'fellow traveler', I appreciate your note (sort of) but I think it did more harm than good!
