before you go to bed tonight, as standard time officially begins for most of the country at 2:00 a.m. Sunday.

(Oh boy ... an "extra" hour of sleep! ;-))

Yep, thanks for the reminder. I've already set the microwave and stove clock. DH can change the rest tomorrow morning.

I'm an early bird amy, so don't like to sleep late, but 4 am is ridiculous. I went in to the family room about 7 to see if there were any good movies on and promptly dozed off. I just woke up again, ack!!! Now I'm going to be floopy all day ;) I'm going to get moving and head outside. The end of the season here is looming, in two days our night temps will drop into the 20's and highs in 40's during the day. :/ I've already prepped the pond for winter and cleared the vegetable garden, but am about to yank out my remaining annuals. It's going to kill me. Doing it today because I can't bear the thought of doing it in cold temps and possible snow coming. I feel so lucky to be in Z5 and still have roses, herbs (my Lemon Verbena and Pineapple Sage are huge) and annuals blooming in Nov., an extra month of my passion !! ;D

Teresava mentioned that we should check our smoke detector batteries when the time change occurs. I have heard that announced in the past, but this year there was an addition to one aired in Pennsylvania. The public service announcement stated that all citizens should check their emergency supplies and have enough non-perishable food items and water to last at least three days for weather emergencies or disease outbreak. I had never heard or maybe I did not pay attention to the disease outbreak part of the message. It has me wondering if the government fears an epidemic or serious outbreak of something in the near future. Kim

Honestly, for me, ANYONE but Hannah. I almost fell off my chair last night when she said "I don't want a goat in the final 3 when I have worked so hard". What? WHAT?! I think she has been dragged along the whole time for her vote. She's horrible at challenges, and IMO worthless at camp. I'm pulling for Ken, Adam, Jay. Bret is just sliding under the radar also. David is just too, hmmmmm, I don't know, snake oil salesman or something. I liked him in the beginning, but his oh poor me, I'm paranoid and neurotic act got old quickly for me. Hannah dead last, then Bret, then David, then of the top 3, hmmmm, I'd just like to see Ken, Adam and Jay in the final 3 then duke it out from there.

My only hope for redemption of this season is if one of the players from the Edge gets back into the game and wins it, which I sincerely hope happens. Aside from Rick, all of the remaining players are followers and not doers. There have been a few sparks from some of the players, but the play has been boring and predictable. What the heck did Aurora give her extra vote to Ron for anyway? That was the stupidest move. If the Edge didn't exist, it would be so predictable that the girls would pick off the guys and we would be left with these women who have no spark or gumption. Aurora is a challenge beast, I will give her that. Just a disappointing season to me.

Thanks Jen! That makes me very happy since I fell asleep in my chair this evening and am up later than I should be. Yay!

Me too. Next month it will be dark at 4 PM. I'm a slug without sunlight and can run like the Energizer Bunny on long days in June. Becoming a snowbird looks better every year :D

Does anyone else get thrown off by the time change? Don't know if I have a weird bio-rhythm or an acutely sensitive internal clock or what, lol. It feels like jet lag. It even happens when I travel back home, an hour difference in the time zone. Takes a good few days to 'adapt'. Just curious if anyone else experiences that?
