My perfect start to the day…
- I’m awake on the train ride to work and read the paper
- No one gets in my way on the walk to work
- I ride the elevator alone on the way up to my floor
- There’s no wait at the microwave to make my oatmeal
- No emails/phone messages at my desk
- My pants and shirt are hole-free (unlike yesterday…)
Hmm, makes me seem a bit anti-social, but that’s how like I like to start my day.
What’s your perfect start to the day?
I have a lot on my mind lately. There are some other things I want to post about, but I am going to split the topics up into two scheduled posts later today. I hate to bombard your reader, but I don’t want my topics to get lost in a “bullet list of topics” post.

I’m kind of a ‘just don’t talk to me and stay out of my way’ person first thing in the morning. I want to sleep until the last possible minute, and get up and get ready. Usually it’s about 20 minutes from rising to out the door.
Odie – I am with you – it takes me a while to find my cheery face! I am trying to get away from staying in bed too long though; it makes me cranky 🙁
Staying in bed =) That’s my perfect morning!
I didn’t notice any holes yesterday!
Mine would start the night before with getting myself to bed and asleep at a reasonable hour, without waking up during the night. This means I get up on time or even EARLY so I don’t feel rushed. My hair irons out perfectly and I don’t have little sticky-up pieces on the side or back. I get a seat on CTA on both the brown line AND when I transfer to the red line. Somehow, magically, I still get Blackberry reception when the train goes underground. There’s no cat fur or lint on my pants or my socks. I get to work exactly on time, not 10 minutes early or 5 minutes late. I get to my desk and find I have a new and wonderful project to work on. I get an e-mail from Kim telling me she wants to meet for lunch! 😉 Hee hee!
Oooh, I’m definitely one of those people who is up when the alarm goes off, but doesn’t like heavy social interaction for a few hours. My best mornings start with good weather for walking the dog, husband out of the shower when I get home (so as not to throw off our schedule), light traffic on the way to work and a light workload when I get to work (so I have plenty of time to eat breakfast and catch up on my favorite blogs). That last one? Hasn’t been happening very much lately.
I need to warm up a lil, especially after being crammed in a subway car; crammed on the streets; and crammed in an elevator ride all the way up to the 36th fl. My perfect day would be…
beautiful weather
No work
: )
Chocolate.
WHAT? You ASKED!
As social as I am, I need my morning to myself. I like to be quiet and wake up on my own terms.
– I wake up refreshed, not tired and actually happy to be awake.
– I get a cup of coffee or green tea to start my day
– I look at the clock and if it’s before 8am and I’m done with breakfast and have my shoes on, I’m stoked
– and lastly, no assholes get in my way while driving to work.
I’m like that too. I’d like to synch my iPod and go lay on a chair on my deck to get some sun. I can’t do that most of the year, but I love when I can.
“Hole free”? Is it Hobo Week and I missed the memo… again??
That sounds like it would be a perfect day. I would also have to add:
No stains on my shirt. I too often am halfway through my day when I find a grease stain or food droppings on my shirt somewhere….It’s like they appear by magic. Usually just before I meet with my manager. 🙂
Amy @ Passages to the Past – Oh yeah! I love a lazy weekend in bed.
diane – I am happy you didn’t notice! Oh, the flat iron. And the sleep. And the seat! Ha! I think I could add some of these to mine! And of course, I love the last one. 🙂
SoMi’s Nilsa – Isn’t it funny how much you have to coordinate silly things when you live with someone? We are sharing a car now, so our times constraints are so much different than they were before. Meh.
Gina (Mannyed) – Hee hee. I hope you get one of those days soon!
Kyra – Ha! Chocolate bars or chocolate flavored cereal? Yummy!
sizzle – Me too. After 9:00, I am good to go, but before then… er…
martymankins – Oh yeah – assholes on the road! That can really make or break a day, can’t it? It’ll be better when you’re back on the scooter 😉
ajooja – That sounds great. I love the feel of the sun on my skin in the late afternoon on a summer day!
kapgar – Yeah! Jeez! I’ll have to remind you next year, I guess 😉
kaylen – Oh gosh – the mystery stain – I HATE THEM! You’re doing your thing, then look down at your shirt thinking, “WTF?!!?” Ugh. Homes should have a stain detector you have to walk through to leave 😉
My perfect start to the day…waking up around 9, quickly catching up on e-mails and then reading until work…really, I’m pretty easy to please 😉
Bethany – I would love to be caught up on emails before I start each day. That reminds me… since it’s Saturday, I better go catch up!
