24 Hour Non-Party Person
So sometime last year, these day-in-the-life-of blog posts popped up on a few of the blogs I read. I always wanted to do one. You're supposed to take one picture an hour for a day (wake to sleep). So today I tried it.
I took 3 pictures.
Not so successful, but I'll walk you through my day anyhow since it was slightly amusing.
6:40 - Wake up and put put around the house
6:50 - Put in yoga DVD and do yoga DVD for a little while
7:15 - Mr. Lug's alarm goes off and I realize I have to get ready for work
7:30 - Mr. Lug's alarm goes off again
7:45 - Mr. Lug gets in shower
7:46 - I fast forward to relaxation pose
7:50 - Eat bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch to keep me regular **
8:00 - Get in shower and get ready for work
8:30 - Get in car with Mr. Lug to go to work
at work.
8:30 - 9:30 - boring work stuff...I'm all cracked out on yoga energy and very productive
Around 9:30 - go to ladies room to pee. Notice 3 coworkers are also in the bathroom. Flush toilet. Toilet is clogged. This is not my fault. Toilet water comes within a hair of over flowing. Wait until co-workers leave bathroom. Grab plunger from under sink. Think that this must happen often for the janitor to leave the plunger right in the bathroom. Plunge toilet. Wonder if lady who just walked in is wondering if I am playing in the toilet water. Crisis averted. Reflushing results in aversion of near disaster.**
9:30 - 5:30 - Eat snacks, eat lunch, work, go to meetings, work some more
5:30 - go to Lowes to buy my dad a powerwasher for his birthday tomorrow
6:30 - try to convince Mr. Lug that a peanutbutter sandwich or ice cream would be good for dinner. Lose arguement and end up cooking kielbasa, peppers, tomatoes, and egg noodles.
7:30 - Clean muddy footprints left by window installer off bathroom floor
8:15 - Sit down to eat snack, (yes I ate dinner an hour and a half ago, but it is time for a snack) blog, knit lady eleanor and read This Old House Magazine.
I. Make. Progress.
Tiny cheese balls...so yummy.
Wow. This is a good representation of an average day for me. I don't really mind that it's kind of boring. I mean I did almost have a toilet overflow on me. And I am enjoying a lovely snack of tiny cheese balls.
Tomorrow is my dad's birthday so I'll be going to my mom's house after work to eat dinner and give him the powerwasher. Fun times. I swear I am not boring. Okay, maybe I am boring, but what can you do? I don't feel bored, even if my blog entry reads like tax instructions. This is an action packed life i lead folks!
**These two events are NOT related.

You can lead a boring life without being bored...my boring life happens to be very busy. :-) Your day sounds a lot like mine, especially the snacking an hour and a half after dinner!

If life was exciting all the time, we wouldn't appreciate it as much when it is in fact exciting, huh? :-) My life is usually boring too - except I have not yet been able to train myself to wake up at 6:40am yet. I'm working on it...

I am highly impressed with the early morning yoga and your monitoring of regularity.
I am also impressed that you actually plunged...I would've left it.

Wow, I wonder if anyone would read until bedtime if I did one of these...

I'm impressed that you got up and did yoga that early.
