I never cease to be amazed by the number of people who don't fully understand the concept of irony.
Irony is not merely coincidence, a recurring pattern or an off-the wall element of surprise. No, my friends, true irony has the potential to either be dramatically thought provoking or just down right humorous.
Because we all know I have great appreciation for the latter, allow me to offer this week's best example of situational irony.
Yesterday morning, I dragged (and I mean dragged) my very tired body out of my very comfy bed. Amazingly, I accomplished this feat bright & early at 8 AM on the very first day of Daylight Savings Time 2009. Just hours after the clock had sprung forward the required 60 minutes.
I then dragged my very tired & grumpy child out of her bed demanding that she hurry up. After all, we wouldn't want to be late for that 0h-nine-hundred birthday party, now would we?

Then we went home and it was like my 5 year old was having a wedding shower... totally insane... remember Mom drinking... C
