The Weather

OK, briefly, I am not a woman who plans her outfits out the night before and I certainly only enter the day with the goal that my daughter isn't caught in the wrong clothing for the day. So for this I simply require a weather report. I don't need much, just what the 24 hour forecast is. I rely on network broadcast TV for this because logging in during the morning scurry that I call a routine to get us both ready and out the door is a hassle. At least with the TV I can be multitasking. This morning was particularly frustrating because in the height of scurry the Today Show started. And because NBC is unilaterally Beijing focused at the moment, my weather was delayed by nearly 20 minutes with recap of swimming and gymnastics from the night before. On a side note, if not for two volleyball players hugging before a match, you would hardly know that a war had broken out between Georgia and Russia from NBC morning News. But I digress - Finally Al Roker makes an appearance only to quite pathetically further push Olympic sponsors by speaking to the 'crowd' he found quite conveniently people from NBC parent company GE and United Airlines, the USA official carrier for the Olympics. Needless to say after all this irritating product placement I did finally find out it is going to be a lovely day outside and that I may need to simply start logging in as my coffee brews and I apply makeup in the morning to get my weather. Today's process is WAY too belabored.
