I was just thinking. . . .

I was just thinking about how we e-mail people about what's going on in our lives. We write about where we went to dinner, or what our latest project is. Those are nice things, but I don't really know how some of the people in my life actually spend their days. You know, the routine, the comfortable rut we all have and like to live in. My nephew is good at giving short glimpses into his life, but most of us aren't. Here's a glimpse of my typical day:


I set my alarm for 5 so I can get up to workout. I usually hit the snooze, though, and snuggle in for another 30 minutes. When I do get up and work out, I usually read a devotional while walking on my treadmill.


Breakfast is 1 egg and 1 piece of toast. Lunch is a frozen low cal box meal like a Smart Ones. Most of the time I eat at my desk while I read. Sometimes I work through my lunch. I go to a workout class M, W and F after work. I try to go home early on Tuesdays. On Thursdays I usually hang out with friends after work. This last Thursday I had the best time with a good friend at McGrath's eating crabcakes and drinking some really crisp wine. Sometimes I go with my movie group friends to see a flick, then to Applebees for a margarita.


I play the radio way too loud in my car and I sing and really get into the music. I always drive to work the same way taking a shortcut through some side streets, but always drive home the main roads. That just doesn’t make sense to me, yet I still do it everyday with my radio too loud. Oh, and I love my car!


I drink tea at work instead of coffee for a lot of reasons. The coffee at work is bad. It should be a crime to make bad coffee. My cup is yellow with white polka dots. Julie has one just like it. We have a lot of matching cups and we like that.



I dress up for work everyday. I love skirts and fun cute shoes and I get teased because my jewelry matches my outfits perfectly most days. I try to walk as softly as I can so as not to disturb people.


My earphones are pink. I like listening to music when I’m working. My favorite CDs are the ones Jessica makes for me. In fact I’m listening to the first one she gave now. But my musical tastes are expanding everyday. I probably spend too much money buying music. Nah.. . .on second thought, I don't think that is possible.


I smile a lot. I greet everyone I meet. And I'm a hugger, too, so don't get too close if you don't want to be hugged. Yep, I’m even a hugger at work. And I join in on just about everything. Wanna play hookie from work and go to Shoetini's? Sure. Can I have some Altoids? Sure. Can you join us for the audit meeting? Sure. Yea, it's not all fun and games, but I love it anyway.


I make my bed every morning. Leave the radio on for my dog, Lucy when I leave for work. Floss my teeth way too much. And I think I eat too many Altoids.


The first thing I do when I get home is play with Lucy. She’s a wonderful greeter. If it’s nice outside I sit on the porch to look at the mail. Then I prepare dinner.


Every evening I try to get a chore done so I don’t have so much to do on weekends. I fail a lot, but then I’m good with that. The house is already ready for whoever drops by. And I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t. I love having people over!


Later in the evening I log into FB to see what’s going on in my world and say hi to my family and friends. I log into several blogs and other sites I like to check routinely. If you know of a good one, please share.


I braid my hair every night before I go to bed. I set my alarm for 5 a.m.. . .and, well, I think know the rest.
