To say that I am not a morning person is a vast understatement.

It'd probably suck to be a goth who's not a night person....

I like to get up early and then take a mid-morning nap and then stay up late.

This what I'd like to do, though I tend to want to nap in the afternoon. I'm not sure if it's an effective way for me to get through the day or not, as I will sometimes wake up from a nap completely unable to function.

I got into a great rhythm consulting. I'd get up at 10, check email, respond to anything urgent, plan my day, do some little stuff. At 12-12:30, I'd go to the gym. I'd get back an hour later, and shower and make lunch. I'd watch a half hour of britcoms and eat, then back to work. Take a break around 4, maybe run some errands. knock off around 7, make dinner, watch TV until 11 or so (11:30 if Undressed was on). I would then check email and work a little more. I would watch Gargoyles at 1:30Am, then go to bed. It was awesome.

Oh, man, if only that shirt came in another color! Any other color!

My ideal schedule is falling asleep around 1 and waking up around 11. I always revert to this schedule during vacations, and it's a bitch getting back to school again. I am absolutely not willing to keep my academic schedule year-round, though, no matter how much easier it would make falling asleep and waking up on school days.

JZ, how about this one?

I've been saved from Mary Kay hell. Temporarily at least, we had to cancel dinner. My friend (SAHM with 2 kids) decided to start selling Mary Kay. Less about the money, more about the socializing, I think. Problem is, I don't know anyone who a)wears Mary Kay or b)wants to try it. Perhaps it has changed, but I remember it as cheap, overly perfumed makeup that made me break out (although in fairness, I was 15 and looking at a potato chip made me break out. But never as badly with the MK) I have ZERO desire to be involved, and even less to try to get someone else to come with me. But, I want to support my friend. If she'd done Pampered Chef or something, I could definitely work with that. or even the candle stuff. but Mary Kay? No.

THere's a lot of Mary Kay/Pampered Chef among military wives. Even though I don't hate the make-up, I've always found MK to be the most...pushy, I guess. I like Pampered Chef and the scrapbook one the most.

OMG how badly do I want this schedule.
