a typical Monday

Happy freakin Monday! Either my 10+ year old alarm clock decided to stop working today, or I turned it off and went back to bed. I'm hoping that it was that I turned it off and not that it quit working... that alarm clock has been pretty damn faithful for 10+ years. I had planned on being at work around 7:00 a.m., but instead didn't roll out of bed until 6:30 a.m. I still left around 7:10 a.m., which getting ready and eating breakfast in 40 minutes is pretty much record time for me. BUT... anytime I leave my house after 7:00 a.m., I know I have to add on about 30 minutes to the normal drive time before I'll make it to the office. This morning, it took me an hour and 15 minutes to get to the office (typical day is about 20-25 minutes). I was pretty bored in that 75 minutes, the quality isn't the best considering it's from my phone, but here's some pictures I snapped...



As you can see, it didn't matter that there were 3 or 4 lanes, it was bumper to bumper. Oh and that damn Lexus in front me of me in the first picture, I swear I'm going to bill him for my whiplash. We'd get up to about 5mph and then all of a sudden lay rubber from breaking so hard. I wanted to roll down my window and tell him to take it easy.


But I got to enjoy the beautiful sunrise!



Lastly... anybody want to try to explain why I was crazy enough to wear flipflops when the temp was 28 EFFIN degrees out this morning?? That's right, it got up to 56 today....perfectly good reason to wear them.
