Enjoy the Daylight…

If you are a resident of a ‘Daylight Savings’ state, this week is your last week to enjoy daylight after you get home from work.

I’ve been embracing this as my last chance to go running after work and have been pushing harder than usual. My poor dogs are tuckered out. I have a feeling they are ready to welcome winter as a reprieve from my shouts of ‘Run!’

Enjoy these last two days of ‘summer’.

Go for a walk. Let the sun kiss your face.

Make sure you give summer a proper goodbye.

Beks, will it make you feel any better to know that daylight savings time doesn’t end until 11/1/09? It was changed a few years ago and is nice because it means the trick or treaters can go out at dusk even when Halloween falls on a weekday and they need to get home from school, drive their parents crazy about getting candy, eat dinner, drive their parents crazy about getting candy, get dressed, etc. Did I mention they need time to drive the kids need time to drive their parents crazy about getting candy?

No need to push so hard — you still have another week. Daylight savings ends at 2:00 am on November 1st.

Whew! I thought I was losing my mind. I had to go check the time change date. Just think, you have extra light for more days than you expected.

It’s felt like summer has been gone for weeks now.

You were freaking out?! I just finished printing off the church bulletin with the reminder about not missing church on the 1st!

It *is* daylight savings change in Europe on Sunday. I’m aware of the because my dh has a flight home and has to remember to change his clocks the night before. The last time we flew on the Sunday after the change was from Oslo and the clock in our hotel room (part of the tv) and the railway station clock outside our hotel window both were *not* changed in the morning. But the airport had changed over so we were lucky we knew and we had changed our own watches.

FYI summer ended on September 22. It does not coinside with DLST.

Living in Virginia, it is already dark by 6:30, so there is not a whole lot of sun left when I get out at 5p and get the kids from daycare. You scared me when you said it was coming up b/c I was thinking we would be in pitch darkness for Halloween this year. ::wiping brow::

LOL Don’t feel bad! My friend arrived at my house Sunday, October 4th this year and apologized for being late. After a short discussion we figured out she had already changed her clocks on the 2nd. Boy, was she off!

DJ – I am aware of when summer ends on the official calendar… but in my world, summer doesn’t end until the sun doesn’t shine late into the evening.

Knocking Out Debt – Sorry!! Ha ha!

BethBeth – That makes me feel better.! At least I wasn’t that off! But I have an excuse – that silly radio DJ.! I wonder how many people in SD are as confused as I am!

I will definitely be sad with less sun….however, maybe it will motivate me to start getting up earlier!

I know, I don’t like when it gets dark so early : (
Maybe I should move to AZ : )
