This post made me giggle several times.  And because stress and busyness seem to have made laughs less frequent lately, I just had to pass this on.  I hope you all enjoy!

1. Laughing with my special someone

Is it just me, or is anyone else dreading the time change tonight?  I know there are lots of advantages to more daylight, warmer temperatures, etc.  But, I personally do not like losing an hour of my precious time.  Life is crazy busy, and I need all the weekend down time that I can get.  Not to mention the fact that it will take my Stinkerbell a good week to adjust.  So for the record, I would like to officially say that I prefer to “Fall Back” and gain an hour!
