winter came and kicked my a**.

holy crapola. my commute, on a normal monday with moderate traffic, takes about 45 minutes at the most. heavy traffic, and i'm looking at about an hour in the car.
today? today when it RAINED ICE PELLETS that adhered to the ground instantly?
TWO HOURS, THIRTY MINUTES.
i smoked nearly a half a pack of cigarettes in that jaunt.
but in better weather news, my drive home only took 50 minutes. so that felt like no time at all, compared to the morning.
and i'm kind of sick of sarah jessica parker and the gap ads. i miss sarah jessica parker of "square pegs" and "footloose," when she still seemed awkward and not trendy. but maybe that's me being jealous b/c i'm still awkward at age 29 and will never be trendy. maybe.
the mad dash to finish laundry --- or start, even -- before we leave for minot began approximately 30 minutes ago. and it's bravo's "West Wing" monday marathon, so my night is set!
and on this episode, donna had to go to a meeting in ND about the state wanting to remove the "north" in an effort to boost tourism, b/c "north" makes the state sound cold, flat and barren. funny.
and allison janney rules in this show.
