Monday's are a "good news/bad news" kinda day. The good news is, I don't have to go to work until 11:00...allowing me plenty of time for my favorite morning ritual of drinking coffee in bed while watching The Today Show. The bad news is, I have to go to work. Boo. Today was an especially tough Monday because it is FREEZING outside. What. The. CRAP?! It's APRIL! It's supposed to be sunny and warm right now not grey and 40 degrees! Ugh.
Some creative soul (with a little too much time on their hands) decided that the fire hydrants around town were much to plain for their taste, so they preceded to spruce them up a bit. These are just a few, but believe me, there were many, MANY more and all had a different theme. This person (or people?) had all of their bases covered.....there was a Purple Falcon for the University, an Orange and Blue Bulldog for the high school, Crimson and White for the Tide, an Orange and Blue Tiger, Dalmatian across the street from the fire dept, and the list goes on and on. I have to say that this is a brilliant idea! It makes me smile every time I pass one by.
It goes against the laws of nature to be at work before the sun comes up. Yet, here I am...sitting here, staring out the window into the darkness and wishing I were still snuggled up in my oh-so-comfy bed! I don't have to do this often, just 2-3 times a month, but everytime I do I'm shocked by the number of cars on the road as I make my way to my office. I. Cannot. BELIEVE. People. Do. This. EveryDAY!! I am so lucky.
