I hit snooze on the alarm, until I realize I'm going to be late, then I run around and find my clothes and get in the shower and then get to work and sometimes I have a diet coke but I'm trying to stop. I actually had no caffiene for a week, but then I was weak and so I'm back on caffiene.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

He dragged her to a bunch of campus's she was not interested and just walked around the grounds. From what she has told me so far they didn't do any other campus tours or talk to people - just looked around. How does that "sell" those schools to her? I appreciate him taking her out there, but he hasn't listened to what she wants and this trip was supposed to be for her. I know, color me unsurprised. I was just hoping he would be better with K-Bug than he is with me. Isn't that how grandparents often work?
Oh, dear. Well, I'm extra glad I was available on Friday to take her to the Health Services day at Northeastern. Good grief, though. I'm so sorry.

Or maybe you could suck the blood of a caffeinated person?
So I'd rise from the dead and then hang around outside Starbucks waiting for someone drinking a triple expresso?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah.
Of course, I just realized a flaw in this plan. You probably wouldn't be able to catch them.

Yes. The non-caffienated are the natural prey of the caffienated. I don't think it works the other way 'round.

She was very interested in Northeastern, where she did get to tour the campus and go to an open house in the Health Sciences department. Apparently she was not impressed with their presentation.
Just as well. Northeastern's got a bit of a bureaucracy problem, from what I understand. Then again, it's rare for a school not to.
I myself hit snooze until I'm going to be late, then get up, hit the coffee button, jump in the shower. I'm usually out the door in just over a half hour after I get up, always later than I should be. With this setup I do manage to get coffee, but there've been times I've waited until work. I guess the adrenaline rush of the up-shower-clothes-subway sustained me until I got to work. Nowadays, of course, I have to be actually awake to commute, what with the twisty mountain roads. So I kind of need the coffee in advance.

Ok, this made me go "buh?", my girl isn't in NY. Oh, yeah. Ok....
I think I'm taking BART to the airport to meet her. They are already talking about how bad traffic is to the airports.

The status is NOT quo.
Because the 15 minutes it takes to make and drink coffee is 15 minutes I could be sleeping.
I boggle that I am able to get dressed in anything decent in the middle of all that (post shower, pre-driving I should say).
I plan my outfit the night before. Sometimes I even put it out so that I can save that 5 minutes of “where did those pants go? I can’t find my other shoe”Vortex is me. On a work day, my alarm goes off at 5:30, and I do the snooze thing until about 5:45. Then I shuffle into the bathroom and into the shower, because there is no way I am functional before showering. I always leave my outfit hanging in the bathroom because I am utterly incapable of taking less than an hour to figure out what to wear in the wee hours of the morning (decision-making before the sun comes up is not my forte), so I towel off and pull on my clothes. Then I feed the cats (who have been meowing incessantly since I got up), do my make-up, dry my hair, grab a breakfast shake, and stumble out to my car. If I leave no later than 6:30, it takes me about 45 minutes to get to work, and I grab a coffee once I get there. Luckily I own a Prius, so it drives itself to school.
My rationale for not getting coffee when I first wake up is two-fold: my stomach isn't usually quite ready for the acid of coffee yet, and I always feel guilty about making more coffee than I'll drink. (Okay, the real reason is that I forget to set it up the night before.)
And all of this made me think of this post from Miracleman that I just had to Nilly.
