can I get some daylight here??

Whoever thought of daylight savings time needs a swift punch in the face, just throwing that out there. This waking up in the pitch black to get ready for work stuff is for the birds. For the birds I tell ya! I can handle a lot of things....however, waking up thinking it's still 3am and then realizing no, it is indeed 6:35am, is the worst. It's like the ultimate worst trick ever. The past two mornings I have woke up to my alarm, looked around the room and out the window, then went to the kitchen to realize the microwave confirmed it was in fact time to wake up. Ugh, big woof. It just throws everything off. Jordan doesn't want to get out of bed. Paisley doesn't even budge. I just whine. It's really a lose-lose for all of us and offers no motivation to get up and moving for the day. Not only that, but then going to work, still in the dark mind you, working all day, going to class and then finally making my way back home, only to STILL BE IN THE DARK! Talk about an immediate self-diagnosis with SAD and that's me, right here, in the flesh. I NEED daylight savings! I can't continue to function like this in the mornings without the light! It makes me that much worse of a morning person and it is not a pretty sight... November 4th can't come soon enough!

And the good thing about it being Thursday night is that means it's kicking off another weekend of NFL football! Whoop whoop! Jordan and I are going head-to-head this week in our fantasy league and well, I'm probably going to win. He's sitting at 0-4 and I'm 2-2 so the odds are in my favor and my team is pretty solid. There's going to be lots of smacktalk going on this weekend pulling for each of our teams! And the Hawks are back in action and playing in East Lansing, MI against Sparty at Michigan State. Hopefully they come out strong, get a good lead and don't look back! Here we go Hakeema Matata (that's obviously MY fantasy team...an excellent combination of Disney's The Lion King Hakuna Matata and Hakeem Nicks) and let's go Hawks!
