A week from this morning, I will be typing in the dark. Yes, we (those parts of the country that DO) change the clocks next Saturday night/Sunday morning. I will love typing in the dark, in order to get an extra hour of sunlight at the end of the day. I do worry about the kids outside waiting for school buses, but other than that...I am ALL about the time change. Can't … [Read more...] about Sunlight, Soups, Salads, and STOPP
