Lazy

I am a suburban mom. I am a suburban mom living in the Bay Area. Tuesday mornings are my exercise day and while I was riding my bike up Middlefield Road, the suburban mom's equivalent of riding down a country lane, I stopped at a post box and mailed some bills. I had to laugh when one of those bills was to pay off a FastTrak ticket. As of July 1, 2010, the carpool lanes on the Bay Bridge require FastTrak. I hate that moment when you approach the toll booth knowing you have made a big mistake. Now I know.
