Spring Forward

I woke up pretty early today, considering it's a Sunday. Marcel's food timer didn't open up his food early enough, and he was very vocal about it. I woke up to feed him, then couldn't fall back asleep.

Once I was at my computer, I remembered that today is the first day of Daylight Savings. So, instead of waking up at 7:00, I actually woke up at 8:00. That actually sounds pretty reasonable.

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead. :)

I just read this on MSNBC.com:

President Bush has signed a law changing the dates of daylight-saving time, effective in 2007. Then, daylight time will start three weeks earlier, March 11, and will end one week later, Nov. 4.

Why are they changing the dates?
