Running Late

6:23am--It's light out.  Oh, how I love Saturdays.  Wait....it's not Saturday!?!?!?!?!  It's THURSDAY!  6:23am?!  I need to leave in 7 minutes to get to work on time!!!!

6:24am--Let the dogs outside.  Turn on coffee pot.  Run to bathroom.

6:25am--What do I do?? What do I do?!?!?!  This is the only the 8th time in my life I've ever slept through my alarm!!  What am I supposed to do?!

6:26am--I didn't grind the coffee beans first!  I'm brewing nothing but hot water.  I can't get through my day on hot water.  Run to kitchen.  Turn off coffee pot.  Grind beans.  Turn on coffee pot.

6:27am--Let dogs inside.

6:28am--I need breakfast.  I'll make some eggs.  Put pan on burner.

6:29am--AM I DELUSIONAL?!  I have to be at work in an hour and it takes 55 minutes to get there!  I don't have time for a 4 course meal!  I'll just stop at Publix and get breakfast.  But, what am I going to get? 

6:30am--I really ought to be more concerned about my appearance than my stomach at a time like this.

6:31am--Throw on some makeup and realize this is going to take entirely too long.  I need to get on the road.  Grab my makeup bag, throw it all in.

6:33am--Look at my hair.  It looks like a rats nest.  Hey, remember when Riley used to call Mandy "Ratty" in 7th grade because of her curly hair?  Man, I miss those days.  I really liked those two.  I wonder what they're up to these days.  I know Riley moved away, and I think Man--

6:34am--YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE!

6:35am--Grab straightener, throw in makeup bag.

6:37am--Ahhh, coffee.  I can think now.

6:39am--In true Shannon fashion, try on two different outfits even though I should have left the house 9 minutes ago.  Gotta make sure I'm feeling my 'fit.

6:40am--These shoes?  Look in mirror.  No.  How about these shoes?  mmm, not feeling it.  I think I'll just wear the first pair.  WHO CARES, JUST PICK A PAIR OF SHOES AND GO!

6:41am--What am I going to eat for breakfast?????  AHA!  I'll make what I had yesterday since it's portable!

6:42am--Throw breakfast together and run out the door.




6:45am--Mix it all up.  It'll be easier to eat that way.


7:15am--Attempt to put on makeup while driving.  Think about how I don't want to get in an accident and how my mother would scream bloody murder at me for not paying attention to the road.  Decide I'll just wait until I get to work.  If I scare someone when I'm walking to my office, so be it.

7:42am--Arrive at work and run up stairs while simaltaneously praying that no one is in yet.

7:43am--Take a big gulp and attempt to open the door to the office.  It's locked.  PRAISE THE LORD!  No one is in yet!

7:44am--Say thank you prayer #433 for my own work bathroom.




7:45am--Get primped, primed and polished in a hot minute.  I have a meeting at 9:30 and still need to finish some things up.

8:00am--I don't look half bad for having to get ready at work!



8:05am-12:00pm--Work, work, work.

12:00pm--Lunch time.

12:26pm--Realize I forgot to take a picture of my lunch before I started eating it...  Oh well, people who read my blog are used to crappy pictures.



  • Broccoli, green bell pepper, cucumber and grape tomoatoes with tahini
  • Chicken sliders (x 3..I had already eaten 2)
  • Ketchup + mustard

12:30pm--I really hope the second half of my day goes smoother than the first.

I hate running late!!! Also, we are so much alike because I would also be analyzing my outfit in the mirror to make sure it looks okay! haha
