Do you wake up in the morning, wondering what on earth you are going to blog about?
Man, what a bizarre hobby this is. The fact I do wake up in the morning and my first thought is what to blog, used to depress me. Now it challenges me. Except this morning ... too sleepy to concentrate on a good first topic.
And now it's too late.
* Must wake up the Bunny (with the help of two small dogs who will step all over her back and make her cranky).
* Must get coffee and carry the cup everywhere.
* Must greet BB before he leaves for work, and tell him about a dream I had of him having to plan some sort of party for his own damn self, because his grad school wife dropped the ball and couldn't finish what she started. How we will laugh! Because he is almost constantly reassuring me this week that I absolutely need to finish school, and basically, Everything Will Work Out.
* Then I need to get dressed and figure out what to do with my hair so I don't frighten anybody.
* Feed Bunny and myself - this is the easiest part of the morning, as Bunny has been conditioned to eat whatever breakfast I place in front of her without (much) comment. I know, right? I must be an ogre in the mornings.
* Must pack hers and my lunch. This, by contrast, is subject to many, many comments. Bunny will get a make-it-yourself pizza lunch. This includes:
1) one small pizza crust cut into fourths (but only 3 pieces are included), 2) a small container of pizza sauce, 3) some summer sausage cut up. Place all items in a baggie (it does all fit). Be sure to pack a plastic knife for spreading the sauce. Add a small cup of fruit with a spoon (in another baggie so there's no mess), some carrots, a granola bar for morning snacktime, and a bottle of water.
* My own lunch will be a sandwich of some variety, with baby greens instead of just plain lettuce, thank you. Plus lots of fruit and a coupla cans of diet cola.
* Oh. Somewhere in there, must read the funnies and the op-ed columns.
* Must watch the rest of the morning go by in a blur of tiny chores, notes to teacher, packing the car, and driving Girl to school.
* Must drive to work myself. Get out of the car. Go in. Shut the door. Sit down in cubicle. And think what to blog!
When do you plan and accessorize your color coordinated outfit?

What time do you get up each morning? 2 AM?

I have my whole morning routine down to two hours. It helps that I don't wear make-up and I wear all earth-tone clothes. Fear me.
