driving on I-5

I hate it.
I hate it on Fridays.
I hate it on Fridays at 5.

I went to Seattle today.  I had an appt. at 3, and when it was over, it was rush hour.  There was no way I was going to drive in rush hour. So I found a place to park, and went to this little Italian (Assaggio) place for dinner.  I don't normally like to go out alone, but this time was fun.  Then I went to Antropologie, and bough a new dress. I then went to Slave to the Needle and finished up part 2 of my ear piercing. By then it was close to 8:00 and rush hour was over.  I got in the zippy car and drove home...
