Because I cannot capture lighting...

to look or not to look...

Have you noticed the gorgeous weather out lately? I have basically been trying to make my spring/fall coats work for me since I returned from the Olympics. It was rough in the beginning but lately I might even get to throw off the shackles of a simple coat! Yay!
Tonight I finally decided it was time to put away the winter coats for good. I know two simple things about this process 1). it is completely tempting fate and saying "hey snowstorm come on down, because now everything I own that could remotely keep me warm is tucked far far away." And 2). do you look in your pockets now or wait until you pull the coat back out again and search them? some of the best things about it getting cold out in the fall is being able to pull your coat out and make a buck or two, maybe even more!
Tonight I was unable to resist the sound of things clattering in my pockets and found a $1.50- I was mildly surprised and happy, but part of me can't help wondering if I would have been jumping for joy if I found the money next fall instead....

Where was everyone else at rehearsal?

It might just be me, but this type of snow blowing across the roads always reminds me of the way fog rolls out of fog machines at big musicals or ballets. Which leads to all the drivers out there being members of the chorus line. Sadly many of them appeared not to have made it to rehearsal because there is plenty of weaving in and out and crashes out there.

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!
