ADOPT DIXIE!

Do you ever have one of those mornings that no matter how hard you try, you just can't get out of the house? Today was like that for me. I woke up at 7:00 a.m., but I didn't walk out the door until an hour and a half later (if you include a pit stop at the drug store). The good news about this is that there was no traffic and it only took me 12 minutes to drive to work - my fastest drive ever.
