I have my internet homepage set to Yahoo and when I got online this morning I saw an article that made me chuckle. The headline is that a woman was charged for careless driving. What was so careless you ask? She was trying to eat a bowl of cereal while driving. I know you think I'm going to ream her for trying that, right? Wrong. I've tried to eat soup while driving. Not from a fast food place either. In a bowl I brought from home. Let me tell you, it's not easy to eat soup while speeding down Route 8 because you're late.
I woke up with a bit of a creative itch this morning. That is big news in itself (is that grammatically correct?). I've been so creatively stunted lately that it's driving me crazy. I have nothing to say let alone to write about. I have no desire to make or send Christmas cards. In fact, I think I'm going to get rid of my stamping supplies. The same unfinished scrapbook layout sat on my table for over a month Decorating is not even on my radar. Clean is good enough for me.
I think the bug bit yesterday. I finished the layout. It just needed a title and I even had the title in my head. I just didn't have the motivation to put it on paper. After that, I used some scraps to decorate an empty coffee can in a Christmas motif. This morning I woke up at 6:45 to watch cartoons with the Littlest Princess. After she left with her Dad at 8:30 am, I did an entire layout. Yup, a whole one. Then I saw the Yahoo article and decided to blog.
I need to get up and do something else before this creativity escapes me again. Who needs a shower anyway? I'll just rub some glitter on myself and call it pretty.

I'm in the creative mode too, although the bug that bit me seems to be set on 'slow mo'; it took me all day yesterday to finish a one page layout, now my stuff is all set out on the table - and I'm loving that - just looking at it...but hopefully by the end of the today I have another page done!

I think it might be "in and of itself", though I might be wrong.
Sunnyvale, CA (WFN) -- This little factoid might drive you to quit driving: 36 percent of people admit to changing clothes while behind the wheel.
That's according to a recent survey done by Yahoo! Autos, but it gets worse...
-- 20 percent of folks say they like to read the newspaper while driving, while 8 percent admit to shaving.
-- More dangerous still, 2 percent of folks say they actually check their e-mail while driving.

I have changed my clothes and read. Shaving, for a female, is rather difficult. But you never know. I write while driving all the time. I don't check my email because I can't find a network cable long enough ;)
