We had a really loud one come in right on top of us just before 6 this morning. Lights flickered a few times, but the power stayed on. I normally jump in the shower at 6:15, but this morning I waited for the storm to pass and did my routine in reverse. Lightning storms are much more effective at getting me out of bed than the alarm, if only because they bring the kids into the room. Woke them up an hour before normal, so they had all the time in the world to get ready for school.

Glatt, I started reading your post before backtracking and seeing the storm drift.
I thought you were referring to farts at first...

The more things change:

Since when was it that if you don't have your toenails painted some garish red color (that looks like you got your foot stuck in the door and your toes are bleeding) you aren't even a woman? Who decided that, and when?

The more they stay the same:

I just passed a girl who was wearing a dress that looked exactly like the ones my friends and I picked out for competition for our "9 Girl Ensemble" junior year of choir. I had hoped we had left the 80s in the 80s but I guess not.
