Well... today was an all-time low. 2 1/2 hours in traffic. On top of that I missed a meeting.

 LA sucks

What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about?

I think I also may be addicted to coffee. Send help.

I used to be kind of annoyed when I'd see Christmas commercials and signage up in October - but I think I'm over that now...

 It all started when the Albertsons down the street from my house put up Christmas decorations October 1st... yeah, October 1st. Today, Starbucks launched their Holiday season with the red cups and winter drinks. Look forward to a blog in the near future with me whining how Ive gained 13 pounds from drinking eggnog lattes everyday.

Anyways, Christmas, it seems, has arrived - even though its 90 degrees outside.
