It's Time to Wake Up!

Press play if you wish to have some mood music as you read:

5:45am:  Wake up to the music of my iPod. Try to forget the crazy dream I had about a wedding, an awful stomach tattoo, and Rob Bell Skyping from an airplane. 

5:46am:  Grab iPad to check out the "news" of the morning. AKA look at Twitter, Facebook, and get rid of all email notifications that have popped up through the night.

5:50am:  Rub a dub dub!

6:05am:  Check out the weather for the day to plan what I'll wear. It's gonna be a hot one.

6:15am:  Once dressed, take Bandit out for a quick walk around the apartment building.

6:30am:  Stand in front of the bathroom mirror and try to decide if I have the motivation to actually blow-dry my hair. 

6:31am:  Decide I don't, and spritz on de-tangler and sea salt spray so it doesn't look like a total disaster. Then move onto brushing teeth and makeup.

6:40am:  Refill Bandit's water and food bowls.

6:45am:  Pack up my purse and head out to the car. 

6:47am:  Jump in the car (literally... cause I'm short) and listen to The Time Traveler's Wife as I head to my morning meeting.

7:00am:  Feel better at morning meeting when the waiter immediately brings a cup of coffee.

7:30am:  Breath a sigh of relief that morning meeting went well, then get back in the car.

7:45am:  After dropping off my Netflix DVD in the mailbox, go to the office.

8:00am:  Get another cup of coffee, and fight with the stapling machine until the secretary comes to rescue me.

8:30am:  Sit down at desk and catch up on emails and blogs. 

And thus... the first few hours of my Wednesday morning. 

How do you start your days?
