I've had a cold all week. It's getting really boring. At least I get to sleep on the couch in the living room, where I can hear the freeway better. It's much better than my husband's snoring.

People think I'm weird when I say that I enjoy living next to the freeway, but I think I figured out what it is that's so great about it. Other than the fact that I can be on the freeway within 2 minutes of WAKING UP, it's free white noise! We live about 4 blocks away from a freeway overpass, so the acoustics are particularly good. There's a good echo under there.

I know that some people don't think that's a good thing, but I say, Don't knock it till you've tried it.
