Before you go shopping, I'll leave you with a few thoughts about my experience this week commuting in the infamous California traffic:
- You have to leave way too early. Because the time hasn't yet changed, it's still dark when I leave. Yesterday, I got in my car, cranked her up, buckled my seatbelt, checked the mirrors, arranged my purse so that I could reach it, put my cell phone in the cup holder (no worries, I have Bluetooth), shifted into reverse, pulled out of the driveway and headed out. I thought to myself, wow, it sure is dark! Even my headlights seemed rather dim. It took a few minutes before I realized I had my sunglasses on!
- I can drive through Starbucks at the entrance to the freeway, and by the time I reach the traffic jam (which occurs with or without an accident...it's quite simply a bottleneck where two major freeways merge), my oatmeal is ready to eat, and I have just enough time at 5 mph to eat it all.
- The news repeats itself at least four times during the trip.
- Motorcyclists are nuts, and may have a death wish.
- Apparently the posted speed limit is just a suggestion once the traffic breaks up.
- Thank goodness I don't commute to work because then I'd never have time to stamp!

Wowzers, girl... I have been in that traffic, and I can vouch!!! Icky! Glad that you are okay, and will be happy for you when this training week is over! Hang in there dear girl, and be careful! Good luck with the last day of your class!
Lisa, I'm sorry that you haven't had time to stamp, but enjoyed your postcard from the edge. I sympathize about the commuting. I did it every day for a number of years before I became an at-home mom. It's definitely nothing I'd like to go back to. My prayers are with you for getting safely through your class and the commute!
OK, I sure don't envy you on your 3 1/2 hour commute! WOW, I lived in the Twin Cities area for 5 years, but I know that's not nothing to what you deal with! Hope the classes don't take all your time up this week, WE NEED TO SEE CARDS!! Please... :)
Thanks for sharing all the blog land info... you take great care of us! Is the heat still on? We have rain for the 2nd day in a row. Tomorrow a chance of snow! Burr baby!! SMILES and Hugs from Minnesota!
Ugh, ugh and ugh at that commute to your class. Hope the class is not a long term one! And the sunglasses . . . made me laugh. Sounds so like something I would do.
ROTFL... I'm still laughing at the sunglasses comment! LOL!!! THAT's totally ME!!! Looking all over for them when I've put them up on my head! Oh goodness... well, I HATE traffic and don't envy you AT ALL there, but at least you get to eat your oatmeal! :) I usually am in a rush and don't eat breakfast :(
Good luck tomorrow - I'm guessing that's when your big EXAM will be?! Love and Hugs!
