All the time. Freaking Neverending Story. I had a bishop once who looked like Falcor, the luck dragon. Needless to say, we were besties.
Anyhoooo….. I wanted to address a topic that plagues my daily life. Daily. As in, every day this happens. Rather than speak generically, I'll specifically address yesterday. Ready? Here it goes.
7:53 AM - First of three alarms goes off. City and Colour's The Girl.(Yes, I need three. Good for you if you don't.) I hit "dismiss" if I can see through the sleep in my eyes, roll back over, straddle my pillow, and go back to sleep.
8:00 AM - Second of three alarms goes off. This time I actually listen to the music - Milky Chance's Stolen Dance, right now- before unceremoniously wishing that NOT EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE WAS TOUCHSCREEN, so I could FEEL for a snooze rather than opening my tired, tired eyes to look for the freaking dismiss button.
8:03 AM - Third alarm goes off. Lady Gaga's You and I. LOVE THAT SONG. It's the only thing that makes mornings okay. That and my dog.
Roll around in bed, making a mental list of all the things I'm going to do today. It includes:
1) Run like 10 miles
2) 3 HOURS OF YOGA
3) Clean the WHOLE house
4) Organize stuff
5) Look pretty and perfect
6) Bake those muffins I've been talking about for like 3 weeks….finally…..
7) Cook real meals, instead of ALWAYS potatoes
8) Make friends
9) Be skinny and tan
8:15- 8:20 ish: Eventually, I make my way out of bed, try not to step on my dog who is on her back, sleeping, STILL, and throw on my "I can't go outside in underwear, and my dog needs to pee" outfit.
8:25 Take dog to pee.
8:30 Feed dog.
8:35 Think about eating a nutritious breakfast. Eat cinnamon toast instead.
9:00-12:00 Send a few texts, check emails, put some crappy movie on (today it's the second half of "Twilight") in the background so the sound of my refrigerator doesn't depress me. Get distracted by video of dog eating peanut butter like a human.
12:00 Decide I should probably get ready for the day.
12:05 But wait I should exercise
12:10 OOH LOOK AT THIS MAKEUP TUTORIAL ON YOUTUBE.
12:15-12:45 Do makeup tutorial. End up looking like I belong in the red light district.
12:45 Wait….. what about working out??? I look too cute to get all sweaty now. It will ruin my makeup. Oh well. I'll go before the dog park.
1:00 -4:00 Fill time with random things, like accordion playing, and playing with my dog, and stalking my neighbors……
4:00 Oh wait, I should go for a run or something now…. I'll go at 5 and then go straight to the dog park!
5:00 Running time! Wait…. where are my keys?
5:25 still looking
5:35 There they are! In the key bowl. Sill Norman, putting things away. TIme for a run! Wait, I leave for the dog park in 10 minutes….. I'll go after the dog park
5:45 DOG PARK!
7:30 Get home from dog park
8:00 maybe I should make dinner
9:00 NOM NOM NOM…. now I'm too full to run….
10:00 Just one more episode….
1:00 AM or three…..
And then I fall asleep.
And this is the vicious circle of why I never exercise.
