To my concerned readers....

So I drive like an hour and 5 minutes to work everyday. That is what I tell my mom. In truth my speeding gets me there quicker, but no one likes to admit to their mom they speed. Plus sometimes that extra five minutes of sleep is just that important, or I simply HAD to wait for the coffee to be done, and now I must speedish to work. But as you may have noticed the weather has been not so great for traveling. In fact those two whole days where the news repeatedly said DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE, LIKE EVER, or for sure YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE! Well that is scary stuff when you drive like a hour and 5 minutes to work (that is what we tell mom) right? right! also scary for the people who only have to drive 15 or 5 minutes to work. Scary for everyone. That is why I have been trying to remember to tweet about my safety, after the car is fully stopped and I am at work, or home. This is really for you, oh loyal readers, so you don't freak out and call me repeatedly. But in reality people do still call, like dad, he calls to ask if I am in a ditch somewhere, and I am all like, first off- I answered the phone, 2- I sound realitively calm, and 3- I didn't freak and call you. Which naturally I would do if I were in a ditch. but he worries and it is mildly cute he calls. But this is just a friendly reminder, if you worry, check the twitter updates. I try to be prompt-ish about them. Fun facts -for tuesday and wednesday I was hauled up with two lovely ladies that let me crash on their couch when sometimes I get stuck in des moines. Tonight on my way home, I was mostly able to go 60 mph the whole way and saw 15 cars/trucks in the ditch! Check twitter!

We should all be glow-in-dark

Now I know what you are thinking- Lynne, you crazy girl, why in the heck should anyone be glow-in-the-dark? It's simple: there are a lot of things to be gained by being glow-in-the-dark. 1) Safety- In fact the whole idea of us glowing came from this concern. Saturday night I was driving my friend home after the movies, it was raining and dark out. Low visibility, all in all, and then bam! I see this little kid, playing out in the rain, near a highway, late at night. I practically didn't see him. Now think- if he was glow-in-the-dark- he would have been seen. Safety! Plus all the runners who work out early morning/late night. People who deliver early morning newspapers. The list of potential people who can be helped with safety- is endless!
2) Comfort- Comfort? Heck yes- no need for nite-lights any longer! Your children and sooth themselves to sleep! Sweet deal!
3) Peace of mind- Say- your kids are out in the backyard playing, it gets dark you can't see them- oh wait! yes you can- they glow!
4) Awesomeness- Plus it is really really cool!
