Daylight Savings

Daylight Savings time came to Orient on Sunday, March 8, 2009.
Daylight Savings time came to Sabrina Elizabeth (my car - the Fusion SE) on Sunday, March 8, 2009.
Daylight Savings time came to Rachel's house on March 8, 2009.
Daylight Savings time did not come to Jessica's room on March 8, 2009.
In fact, it barely came on March 9, 2009!

I went to bed like everything was normal last night. I set my alarm for 6:15 and thought nothing of it. When Rachel got up at 6:15, I thought to myself, "Good for Rach! She's going to work out!" Instead, she started getting ready for work. I thought to myself, "Good for Rach! She's going to work early today! ...kind of a bummer for me because I still have to get ready."
I went downstairs (thinking that it was 6:25) - when in fact, the stove said 7:25. I honestly thought, "Huh, the clocks are an hour ahead." I really truly thought that we had gone backwards for a moment! ...then the truth hit me. As well as the truth that I was now under the gun to get into work on time!

I got here by 8:25. That included making the bus by 8:06 and stopping at Caribou for coffee & a bagel. The really good news? Caribou is offering free shots of espresso in EVERY drink today & tomorrow!

I think I'm a fan of Daylight Savings time.
...at least until the caffeine buzz wears off. =)
