These allergy meds are making me thirsty...

Not pretzels.

Here's one benefit of leaving for work as early as I do: I get to watch the sun rise, something I would never get up to see voluntarily. Ever. (Not. a. morning. person.)

And on many mornings, it's really spectacular. Today's was.

This morning, I noticed several other people taking note of it. Usually, everyone's asleep or got their head buried in some kind of reading material. It was a cool little moment.

I told you I was a dork.

Have you heard about our weather lately? In between the heavy rain, hail, thunder and lightning, it's been snowing at times, and not just on our highest peaks. I even saw some by the side of the road on Saturday, near the spot where 28 cars piled up on the slippery highway early that morning. And we could get more, if our cold weather continues. It's just wild.

Can we have a snow day? Just once? Please?
