the time is 5:25

A.M.

this is when my alarm first goes off. (only monday - friday, thankfully).
then snooze. 10 minutes. snooze again. and sometimes...i snooze until 6:00 AM. okay, let me re-phrase that, usually i snooze until 6:00 AM.

but, on the off-chance that i actually pull myself out of bed after the first snooze i then stumble into the bathroom, brush my teeth and head downstairs for my 20-minute Shred .

after that its a mad dash to shower, get my face on, blow-dry the hair, pick any outfit (which tends to be the most time consuming for some reason), make my lunch and be out door by 7 am.

then i hop in our darling silver corolla and drive to SLC. woot woot. all the while listening to npr . which i never thought i would love so much. the listening to npr part, not the driving part.

next i work for approximately 8-9 hours. during this time i review college transcripts, catch up on blogs, review transcripts, listen to pandora, review transcripts, watch/listen to the "michael jackson moment" video (sent to be by andrea)...and that's pretty much it.

after the work day is done i drive home. listening to "all things considered" and/or talking on the phone. it usually takes me approximately 45-75 minutes to get home, depending on traffico.

when i finally get home i am greeted warmly by my honey/baby/lover/sweetie with a big hug and a tender kiss. {i am so grateful and especially blessed for this part of my day.}

we make dinner together, watch a show or something...who knows where the "after-work" time goes. then we pray, read and go to bed. usually by 10.

i have to say i do love the feeling of accomplishing so much in a day. i really feel like i'm finally contributing to society and to my little two-member family. i love the feeling of just falling into bed at night and having a rill good dose of REM sleep cause i'm just so exhausted. i love getting a paycheck! i love learning about new processes, like the inter-workings of the college transfer system. i love being awake early when the rest of the city is still asleep. (though the actual waking up part, i hate). and i love the people i work with...

but...remember when i use to not have a job. i see the awesomeness in that now too. :)
