every morning my alarm goes off at 6am. then i hit snooze 2 times and i am out of bed no later than 6:20.

this morning? the alarm didn't go off. why? because stupid ass me forgot to turn it back on last night before i passed out.

i roll over and look at the clock. it's friggin 6:45am. that means i have 30 minutes to get out the door.

now, to the average person; 30 minutes to get dressed and out the door is plenty of time. for this high maintenance princess? it's only about half the time i need to get ready.

-i figure, no shaving of the legs this morning. i can be in and out of the shower in 5 minutes. ok, maybe 7. you have to leave time for the conditioner to work its magic. (usually the shower is at LEAST 15 minutes)

-my hair is naturally curly. it takes at LEAST 20 minutes to dry and style. sometimes more.

-next we move to picking out the outfit of the day. usually not more than a 5 minute task but, you always run the risk of not liking the first thing you try on. with me, i usually try on at least 2 outfits before i am satisfied.

-then we have the "taking vitamins and pounding 20 oz of water". easily 5 minutes. i don't leave my house without that step.

by this point, *if* i have gotten up early enough...it's 7:15. i'm in the car by 7:20; and on my way.

i walked out my door at 7:25. get into my car at 7:31. and zoom out of the garage. keep in mind that the accident in still in my head so, i am trying to drive somewhat cautiously. zoom up the hill to find out that the local high school starts today. so there i am, in a LONG ASS line of fuckers who don't know how to drive. trying to get my way through to the freeway. by now, it's 7:40. there is NO way i am going to be ontime at this point. i call one of the other admins to let her know i will be late, and work my way through the messy traffic.

get onto the freeway. ONE LANE IS CLOSED. whatever. at this point i am so pissed i am about to turn around and call in sick. but i don't. i throw in some n*sync and bop my way through the traffic. roll into the parking lot at 8:10. get to my desk at 8:15. get water. check email. go through faxes. and here i am.

drama queen?

yup!
