A day in the life of...
you!
What's a typical day (pick weekday, weekend, or both) and tell us what it's like from rise & shine to zzzz-time.
Re: A day in the life of...
Weekday: 5:23am wake-up (weird thing, but both DH and I hate waking up on times ending in "0" or "5" and I like waking up on odd #s). Shower, go in bedroom and let Oscar out of kennel, feed Oscar, comb wet hair, let Oscar out, start blowing, hear him shake which means he's ready to come in, let him in bedroom to place w/DH. Hair, eat, get dressed, makeup. Leave. Walk 6 minutes to train, train to work. Work, lunch at desk, work. Train home. Let O out. Change, gym, home to shower and make dinner. TV/walk/read w/DH and then lights out around 10pm

I then head to Panera Bread and get an early dinner. I arrive at the church for rehearsal (a professional choir I sing in called Vesper Chorale) which actually begins at 6:30 (it is so far from my house I do not bother going home) and play on my iTouch or call friends. At 6:30 rehearsal starts and goes until 9:00. I then leave to come home and get to bed around 11:00.

Missing our little turkey.
Estimated Due Date 11/13/12 | Natural Miscarriage 4/17/12
Yeah, that surprised me too. Early for me is 8 AM. I go to bed anywhere from 2-4 AM...and when I am having a horrible night of insomnia I may not get to sleep until 6 or 7.
Lets see! I don't have to be to work till 1:00 pm so my mornings sometimes consisted of me sleeping till 12:00 sometimes getting up at 9:00 to eat and do house work, and play online!
then I get home about 7:00 (yes I only work for 6 hours a day) and make dinner,
about 8 we sit down to eat, and watch a movie
after that I'll play online till its 'bed time' (about 12 or 1) or I'll move the laptop in to bed with me so we can go to bed at the same time...
8:45 a: Get up and change the water in Lola's bowl, refill her food if need be, and go through her litter box for surprises.
9:15 ish: Remember that I forgot to make coffee, get breakfast while in the kitchen.
10: Shower as soon as I can unglue myself from the computer.
11:45 Most days (Mon, some Wed, Thurs, Fri): Head in to work. Mon & Fri is Follett's, Wed (rare) and Thurs is the library. I go in 4:30 to 8 on Tues at the library.
Anywhere between 4 and 5 Mon, Wed, and Fri: Get off work and come home, make dinner, try to coax Lola out from under the bed, and relax. Fridays I take the laundry to my parents and hang out with them til its done.
Bed is usually around 12-12:30, and Lola starts getting hyper and running through rooms (this started Wednesday night) around 11, so she plays at night with her toys while we sleep. I'm trying to figure out how to make her not nocturnal.
6:27 alarm goes off. Out of bed by 6:45
