On the way home I listen to my iPod or talk on the phone (hands free in my car). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388861 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:49:50 +0000 Alivoo01 388861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Catch up on FB, Pinterest, and Twitter then nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388812 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:31:44 +0000 mamajaja 388812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No more commuting here, but when I was commuting (1.5 hours each way) I would pump and listen to the radio of course. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388808 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:30:19 +0000 Smurfette 388808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drive and listen to the radio/CD/ipod </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388709 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:55:46 +0000 T-Mom 388709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NPR! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388701 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:54:28 +0000 wheres_c 388701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listen to XM hits 1 morning mash-up in the AM.<br /> On the PM drive, I usually chat on the phone (Hands Free) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388698 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:53:54 +0000 Meridian 388698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive a lot, so I always have an audio book in the car!! It makes me excited to drive, especially when it's a really good book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388651 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:33:23 +0000 sotomorrow 388651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive so I usually listen to NPR or music on the radio. It's only about 2 miles from my house to work so not enough time to listen to an audiobook or anything. Sometimes I turn the radio off on the way home and just enjoy some silence!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388627 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:18:25 +0000 mediagirl 388627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk to my lo as we're headed to daycare or just listen to music. Once I drop her off, I turn on Mike and Mike. I have to get my fill of sports knowledge before heading into work where all the guys like to chat about the upcoming weekend. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388625 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:16:23 +0000 DillonLion 388625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get irritated.

Usually once a week I'm late for work because of a story I'm in the middle of (or was when I did 5 days a week onsite). My boss always thought it was funny I would get there early but still be late! I do have my stereo at home set to NPR so I can dash inside and turn it on without missing much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388573 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:52:58 +0000 tlcbaby 388573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listen to audio books (just finished Bossypants!) or Podcasts.

And we talk, obviously. It is amazing to have that time together because we so rarely have time just to ourselves now!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388470 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:07:45 +0000 autumnlove 388470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy the silence in my car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388464 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:05:11 +0000 Ash 388464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I;'m usually on the phone (hands free, I promise) and listen to morning radio! My commute is 70 minutes so I have lots of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388460 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:03:14 +0000 littlebug 388460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the train, usually with Hubs. So in the morning, I check my email and facebook, and then Hubs and I just talk. In the evenings, it's usually too crowded for us to be able to sit together, so I read my book and listen to my iPod. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-during-your-commute#post-388454 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:00:29 +0000 prettylizy 388454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Listen to the morning radio show, or if I have one on the go I'll listen to a book on tape </p>
