Hey MatadorFreak How've you been ???? Eh? eh? | Enheduanna  |
Get up some time around 9, shower, breakfast, e-mail, SC. Study. Eat lunch. Study some more. Eat dinner, watch TV or a movie, hang out with my SO. Sleep. There's frequently lots of other stuff that happens in there, like talking to people on the phone, sometimes going out to eat, running errands, or going to the coffee shop, but that stuff all varies a lot. | romkey  | | posted 1-May-2002 10:34am |
mpost days I get up around 7-8am just because I woke up, no alarm, feed the cats, get a cup of coffee from the coffeebot, sometimes I'll do some baking, muffins or scones usually, or make some breakfast; sometimes I'll go out with lion for some breakfast. I check my email and normal web sites that I read somewhere in there. If things are quiet I'll be luck and do some reading in the morning. If not then I'll do some work, usually either meetings about the big construction project we're doing rebuilding the barn and renovating part of the house, or I'll hop around between various computer projects I'm doing, probably never spending enough time on any one of them to get very far.
I often put lunch off to the point where I'm really hungry. A lot of days I'll go out for lunch, do errands, pick up mail, do some grocery shopping. Or I'll have something light for lunch at home. If I've gone out for lunch I usually make us dinner, sometimes friends will come over for dinner, too. If I've eaten lunch at home, lion and I will often go out for dinner. Usually after dinner we'll settle in for between 1 - 3 hours of TV, with our notebooks; I usually don't get any more work done then than I did earlier in the day.
If I'm lucky I get in some time reading before I go to bed. | LindaH   |

Very busy. There is no routine I'm just always busy with something. | | romkey |
yep! it doesn't serve it though it just dispenses it  I finally watched X-Files... it was pretty good... I didn't like the Mulder-tease that much but it was nice to see 'the character' back... especially given how much his hairpiece looked like cancer man's! I was surprised about the conclusion with William but I'm a bit relieved not to have to see Scully hauling around a baby all the time for the last few episodes... | | cuteasabutton |
Well, my husbands alarm goes off and he ussually wakes up and wakes me up by cuddiling with me and telling me it is time to wake up and get the kids ready. So, I get up and throw on whatever clothes I was wearing the day before(unless they are too dirty) and I go into Mikey's room and tell him it is time to get up for school. That takes a few minutes. Then I tell him where I set out his clothes and to go put them on, and I will go make him some breakfast. Then I go into the kitchen and I make some food, sometimes pancakes or french toast- and other times it is cinnamon toast or cereal or oatmeal.. or whatever else is in the house at the time. Then I tell him to come eat while I get the other kids' clothes on, sometimes, if warm enough; I will leave the baby in his fuzzy pajamas and just change his diaper. Then I go in the kitchen and make sure that Mikey has all his school stuff, any homework, lunch money, notes and stuff to be signed- and I tell him to go brush his teeth and I will be in to brush his hair. So pack up his backpack and then go to the bathroom to check his teeth and slick some gel in his hair and brush it. Then we all go outside, I put hte baby in the stroller- and we walk to school! Then I walk back home with the two little ones and get them in the house, which can be a chore with all the fun distractions that are outside, the neighbors dog, the kitty running up the tree.. the garbage truck on Tuesdays. Then I go inside and feed Miller and Maxwell breakfast, get Miller to feed the cat, and clear off the counter island, pick the stuff up off the kitchen floor, sweep. Then I try to find something for Miller and Maxwell to do so that they won't fight with eachother. Sometimes they watch cartoons. "Play with me Sesame" and "Tiny Planet" seem to be a current favorite. Sometimes they go play on thier slide downstairs, or draw, or paint. Just whatever they feel like doing at the time. Then I throw in some laundry and log on to SC, while I wait for the laundry to wash so I can put in in the dryer. (which is what I am doing now at 11:33am) I basically do laundry and clean and try to keep my kids from fighting and give the baby a nap at 12:00pm- all the same stuff everyday until about 2:00pm, when I will go change my clothes to look nice and then I walk to go pick Mikey up from school. When we all get back home, then I try to get the kids to clean up thier rooms (yeah,right) nad I end up doing it myself, then I pick up the rest of the house, put stuff away, vaccum, dust. Then I clean up my kitchen; counters, put the dishes in the dishwasher, sweep and mop the floor- and decide what to make for dinner. Last night we had Tacos. Then I go put in more laundry, call the children inside that have been outside playing in the dirt with the hose getting all muddy and wet, and I give them a bath and get them dressed again. By about this time is when my husband comes home and I sit down with him and have a cigarette(my first of all day) and we talk about our days, anything nice that happened or anything odd. Then I go into the kitchen and make dinner while he watches the news and/or plays Playstation, and the kids whine "Is dinner done yet?" about 100 times. Then I serve up our plates, in this order: Maxwell(baby), Miller, Mikey, Hubby, and mine. By the time I have sat down to eat, the baby has decided that he dosn't want *his* food- he wants mine; even though we are eating the same thing. So I share with him and then try for a hour to get my kids in bed... while they stall. At about 9:30 I finally get them into bed, but not asleep, so I sit down with my husband to watch TV and wait for the kids to snooze. Then hubby falls asleep on the couch and the kids are finally sawing logs, so I get Mikey's and hubby's clothes layed out and I put away any leftovers from dinner and pack hubby a lunch. Then I sit down to wait for hubby to wake up and stagger to bed- I have learned that you don't wake up a bear . And then when he does... I go to bed! The End! | | Jemmy |
I wake up at about 6:30, shower and wash my face. Then I put on make-up and brush my hair, I might put it up. I get dressed, maybe eat something and brosh my teeth. Drive to school, sit through 3 classes, eat lunch with my friends, maybe go to choir, and sit through 2 more classes, and go home. I go and get some coffee, then come back home, check the answering machine and listen to any messages, use the computer, watch TV, I might make dinner, talk to my mom when she comes home from work, eat dinner, brush teeth, do homework, maybe watch TV, maybe do some more homework, and then wash my face, brush my teeth and go to bed. | | Biggles |
My mum comes into my room at 6:30am to wake me up. I roll over and go back to sleep. My mum comes in again at 7:00am to tell me to go in the shower. I roll over and go back to sleep. My mum calls me at 7:10am and I stagger out of bed. I shower than get back into bed dripping wet and wrapped in towels. I roll over and go back to sleep. I wake up again at 7:45am, get up and get dressed. I go downstairs, pack my schoolbag then leave the house at 8:15am. I stand in the rain/snow/fog/hail/hurricane at my bus-stop until my bus comes (late, of course). I get on the bus for 35p by flashing my student bus pass. I pick up a Metro newspaper from the luggage rack and put it in my bag for later (I can't read on the bus in the mornings). I get to town at about 8:50am and cut through a row of shops to my bus-stop. Once again, I wait and wait and wait for my bus (a 60, 50, 120 or 2). After an age, about 7 come at once. I get on one (for the same price) and travel to school. I arrive at about 9:05am. I either hurry (late) to registration or go and sit in the common room, depending on the day (we only register twice a week). At 9:15am lessons start. I have two lessons, each lasting 55 minutes followed by a 15 minute break which I spend in the common room. I then have another 55 minute lesson followed by dinner(lunch)time at 12:30pm. I spend my dinner break in the common room (talking but not eating) except for Fridays when I have Russian. We have an hour for dinner. I then have another 55 minute lesson followed by a 10 minute break and my final 55 minute lesson. School finishes at 3:40pm. I wait in the common room until 3:55pm when my bus is due and I go to the bus stop. I wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for my bus. It usually comes about 10 minutes late, although it is improving (I've had to run for it a couple of times recently). The journey home seems to take forever. I get home at about 4:40pm and collapse. I have a quick snack and drink then make some tea (my only meal of the day - I know, I know.....it's immensely unhealthy to eat like that and my glucose levels are all over the place....). I sit around, check Teletext and Ceefax and read the paper (The Guardian). Then I go on the computer while the rest of my family have their tea at 6:00-6:30pm (SC time! ). Often I get sucked into this website and don't get off the computer as soon as I should. At some point (usually 7:30pmish) I go and do my homework. I should then do revision but that doesn't happen as much as it should because I'm so exhausted. If there's any telly on in the evening I'll flop in front of that until I go to bed at around 11:00pm. (If there's no telly that I'm interested in, I'll either work or go back online). I usually put my light at at around midnight and fall asleep fairly easily. Of course, there are variations on my day. Some days I actually have free periods!!! Not many days though  Some days I'm ill and don't go to school or have school trips (like tomorrow - I'm going to London). Some days are bad days (like today) and some are better days. Some days are weekends when I can relax a bit but end up relaxing too much and not doing enough work......I have to work harder. Have to, have to, have to, have to, have to. I just feel like I can't be arsed | | Zang |
Lately it goes something like this:
-Wake up, make coffee, drink coffee, smoke cigarettes and muck about on the computer for a couple of hours.
-Have a bath, brush my teeth, get dressed, eat something.
-Muck about on the computer. This usually involves writing a couple of tinker-tunes, playing Lords Of The Realm II, playing Risk, and/or going on SC.
-About the time my eyes start feeling like they are bleeding, I get ready for bed. | | darkshadowsseeker | | (reply to romkey) posted 1-May-2002 2:36pm |

Workdays (Monday-Friday) Get up about 5:15 a.m. Turn off the radio. Go to the bathroom. Put on deodorant and powder. Get dressed. I work in a casual office, so I usually wear jeans or shirts and a T-shirt to work. Brush teeth and hair. Put on makeup and cologne. Make my bed. Do my therapy exercises.Go downstairs. Take my medications with water. Eat breakfast (usually instant oatmeal). Take my lunch out of the refrigerator and put it in the tote bag I take to work. Get my purse and cane (and coat if I am wearing one that day).Go to work. Come home from work (I work from 8:00 until 4:30), eat dinner, do whatever I want (go online, watch TV, whatever) until about 7:30. Get a bath. Lay out my clothes for the next day. Pack a lunch for the next day. Take my evening medications. Get out my medications for the next day. Go to my room around 8 or 9, watch TV or read until bedtime. | | cody |
Wake around 7. Shower/shave/dress. Get in my car, drive through a tunnel under the airport to get to school. Talk to cute (but engaged) Christina while I wait for chemistry. Fade in and out of consciousness for an hour and a halfof chemistry lectures. Leave class. Drive to work. Edit tapes into "break reels" (the stuff between shows) for an hour or so. Set up for a prodcution--place set, light, bring out and place cameras, floor monitors, microphones, floor lights, computers, etc. Plug all that in and set it up. Sit around and bullcrap for an hour. Run an audio mixer/camera/Switcher board for an hour through a production. Take off immediately after production finishes and go to school again. Talk to strange carnival girl before class. Get up and walk past strange/cute/anxious/asian girl (whom inevitably smiles at me) and sit down a couple seats away from her. Sit through boring lecture by more attractive-than -usual female grad student. Leave. Go home. Practice singing for an hour or so. Go out with a girl or buddy or whatever.... probably play pool or 'go for a drive'... get home around 10 and go to bed. | | natsim |
I can't be bothered doing this in as much detail as possible:
Wake up, shower, breakfast, walk to work, check email and SC Replies, make a list of jobs for the day, start working, break for a quick lunch, keep working past the point of tiredness, write up my work for the day, walk home, have a cocktail, make dinner (or watch my SO make it), eat dinner, play games, read, go to bed.
That's not really a typical day, because I normally have something on at night, but it's always different. | | Gamera | | (reply to grmbrand) posted 1-May-2002 7:18pm |

Alarm clock wakes me. I make coffee, eat breakfast, make lunch, do my Buddhist practice, maybe water some plants. Then I check my emails, usually SurveyCentral and a few other fav. sites if I have time. Then I dress, grab my backpack and Walkman and walk a couple miles to work. I eat lunch outdoors if not raining and read while I eat homemade lunch and drink coffee at least twice more a day, bought from lunch cafeteria. I work 8 hours from 7:30 to 4 usually, then walk home, another couple miles; sometimes going by the drugstore, supermarket or farmer's market on the way home; sometimes to the ATM. I get home, pick up my snailmail, throw the junkmail out, do my Buddhist practice, get undressed from work clothes into raggy at-home stuff (typically T-shirt, shorts, or sweatpants and bare feet always), check my email, SurveyCentral, etc.; sometimes go out to eat with a friend or maybe go to a store from home. Usually take a bath and every few days wash my hair. Have a glass or two of wine or port. Only watch TV if my neighbor has taped something for me, since I no longer have cable. Water some plants. Go to bed fairly early after sometimes visiting with a neighbor for a short time and eating dinner. | | confetti |
On weekdays, I get up at 5:30 AM and go to ninth grade, where I usually learn things I forget within six months. After school, I sometimes hang out with friends, go to parties, go clubbing, go work out or just go home and entertain myself there. I'm pretty average for a kid my age. I also have varied lessons I go to. On weekends I shop and go to see my shrink and sleep and amuse myself whichever way I want. Homework and studying are done at recess at school | | Oscar |
The alarm starts going off at 6:45am. I get up at 7:30am. I hug on my SO, then I go to the bathroom. I wash my face, brush my teeth, put my contacts in, do my makeup, do my hair. Go to the bedroom and get dressed. Eat a quick breakfast and go to work at 8:00. Work is never typical, so I'll skip to after work. I get off at 6:00pm and come home. I put my pj's on, smoke a little and check my email. Then we make dinner, smoke again. Watch tv, play on the computer. Take a shower, watch some more tv, go to bed at around 11:00pm.
That's pretty typical for me. | | Amanda | | posted 1-May-2002 10:44pm |
I usually wake up at 6:00am and I go wake up my fiance's son, Colton. Then, I get a shower. When I get out of the shower, I dry and fix my hair, put on my make-up, and get dressed. Then, I go wake up my son, Caleb. I help him pick out his clothes and help him get dressed, if he wants or needs help. I go fix Colton and Caleb's breakfast and have a cup of coffee. While they eat breakfast, I usually check Colton's homework. By the time they are finished eating, it's time to go. I take Colton and drop him off at school, then take Caleb to pre-school. Then, I'm off to work. I work until lunchtime and usually go home to get Dominic up during my lunchbreak. Sometimes, we'll meet somewhere for lunch. While I'm at home during lunch, I'll put on a load of laundry or get dishes out of the dishwasher or something. Anything to have less to do in the evening when we all get home. Dominic usually works 3:00pm-11:00pm. After lunch, I go back to work and stay until it's time to get off. If I'm working after 3:15, Colton rides the school bus home. If I get off before 3:15, I go pick him up from school. After work, I'll run a few errands or go to the grocery store sometimes. On my way home, I go to the pre-school and pick Caleb up. When we get home, I'll start dinner, Colton does his homework, and Caleb plays in the backyard if the weather is nice. We eat dinner and Colton does the dishes. We'll watch television for a little while, then it's time for Caleb to get a bath. I help him get a bath and then he gets dressed in his pj's. He gets to play for 30 more minutes after his bath. Then, I read him a story and it's his bedtime. (I usually catch him up playing way after his bedtime.) I'll make any phone calls I need to make after Caleb's in the bed. The phone is usually ringing off the hook for Colton. He has discovered girls or they've discovered him! Colton goes to bed around 10:00pm. I stay up late into the night. Dominic gets home from work around 11:30pm. I spend a little time with him and fix his dinner. I get on the computer whenever I can spare a few minutes. I'm rarely on during the day more than 10 minutes at the time. I stay up late on the computer or working on things for work. That's an average day in my life. Life is so much nicer when I'm off. I love it when Dominic's off work, too. He helps take care of things and it's so nice to not be running all day. Colton also plays basketball, baseball, and football. So, during various times of the year, we're running back and forth to games and practices. | | harekrishnadasa | | posted 1-May-2002 11:44pm |

It usually start with me saying "Oh crap what time is it" then I get up running to the shower, ripping my clothes off. Do the scrubby scrubby stuff, get out, brush my teeth. Tossing clothes over my head until that one dress or sweats grab my attention. Get dressed, grab my things running out the door. On the freeway I go, yelling at everyone because I"M running late. I go from this place to another until it's about 1:00 am and I'm driving home taking several naps in between. Thanks for asking | | actress |
That's cute. | | Amanda |
I haven't had a typical day since I broke it. Now, my typical day is watching tv, playing on the computer, eating, and sleeping. I'm so bored. I'm used to being on the run all the time.

He said that I've got a good case. I'm suing for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. He'll get 1/3 of whatever I get for pain and suffering. I told him I want to settle it out of court, though. So, doing that, I won't get as much as I would. I'm not really after money, so it doesn't matter that much to me. I'm suing because it was their fault and they pissed me off when they tried to tell me it was my fault. HELLO! I'm not the dumb ass that didn't have a wet floor sign up. I'm not the dumb ass that didn't listen when a man told them there was something on the floor.

That butt-hole restaurant tried to say it was your fault? HOW DARE THEY!! How could they think it was your fault? You didn't mop the floor and neglect to put up a sign saying WET FLOOR did you? I think not! That just makes my blood boil that they are trying to pull that kind of BULLCRAP on you. I hope you and your lawyer ream them out well! | | Amanda |
Yes, they tried to blame it on me. I thought they had mopped the floor and failed to put up a sign, but they didn't. The floor hadn't been mopped. It had grease or something on it. The pants I was wearing are black where I fell. It looks like grease or something. I'm not really sure what it is. I think it's a load of bullcrap, too. People like that make me so mad. Just take responsiblity and gone on with your life. You know what I mean? | | darkshadowsseeker | | (reply to Amanda) posted 2-May-2002 9:17pm |
Whether it was water or grease shouldn't matter. The fact of the matter is that something was on the floor that shouldn't have been there in the first place, you slipped and badly injured yourself and they are trying to pass blame on to you. It's the restaurant's reponsibililty to make sure there are no hazards that can injure either customers or employees!. | | The_Great_1 |

Hey you! How was London! I can't believe we were in the same air-space.
I was contemplating wondering around Covent Garden hoping fate would lend a hand as I usually go for a drink after work but I had a day off that day. I doubt we would have bumped into each other and I've only ever seen one dodgy photo of you.
I was thinking about you throughout the day. How silly am I? | | Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 4-May-2002 1:17pm |
That's sweet I kept wondering if I might bump into you somewhere - like on the tube or something! I had a really good day, but I absolutely hate and despise London. I mean, I really, really, really hate London! It's horrid and shut in and busy and no-one smiles. Nobody talks to anybody else unless they already know them. Nobody says excuse me or thankyou on the tube......... I was so glad to get home to Sheffield where you can look in any direction and see green fields and woods, where everyone thanks the driver as they get off the bus. Where people answer with a smile if you ask them a question. Where people don't just push past you but say excuse me. Where street entertainers actually get rounds of applause....... The British Museum itself was amazing. After the lectures we sat through, we only had an hour to actually look around so it was a bit of a rush-through-and-try-to-see-everything visit. I still saw some really good stuff though The worst part of the whole thing was the tube though. Just being in the station is really frighteming with the sounds and the wind and then the trains go so fast and they're so crowded There were 8 of us in our group and our teacher would get on the train at one end and we wouldn't all fit so some of us would have to run off to try and get on somewhere else. I was so worried about being left behind! Then I couldn't get through an entry gate and I did get left behind. And the man I went to ask about getting through just opened a gate and didn't speak or smile or even jerk his head at me. I was shocked by how rude he was....... Covent Garden was great We didn't spend long there because we went to a McDonalds nearby for tea (I went under protest and didn't eat anything!) but we got 45 minutes to look around before we had to go back to our station on the tube. I actually spent the entire time watching a street entertainer on an 8 foot unicycle. I really enjoyed it but I was surprised by how little applause he got from such a big crowd. We were sat around tables on the train on the way back. I spent over two hours with three other girls and we got amazingly giggly. We were all very tired so we got very hyperactive. We ended up being hysterical as we pulled into Sheffield station. I've only just recovered! I guess I'm just not a London person | | micah |
Alarm is set at 5am, I hit snooze until about 5:30, get myself and my SO up, get to work around 6:10(supposed to be there at 6) work until about 3pm, go home to take a shower, and run to either work or school, depending on the day, and I'm busy there until about 10pm, then go home to sleep. | | cuteasabutton | | (reply to actress) posted 4-May-2002 11:14pm |
Oh- tee, hee. I See now! I thought you were making fun! Do you have any babies? | | Dino | | (reply to Biggles) posted 5-May-2002 3:16pm |
Yup, that sounds like London. I felt the same when I first moved here. Then again I often feel that way now. I think the worst and best thing is the public transport. The trains come every 2 minutes during rush hour so you don't have to plan your journey so much and you can get just about anywhere. But it is a hell-hole in the crowds and the noise and the bad manners. And I do that every day!  I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. At least this way your curiosity is satisfied. No doubt when you get to Oxford you'll come again. If only to look at the other museums here. Coaches are every half hour to and from Oxford. | | actress |
not a baby anymore, my youngest is 8yrs. | | Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 5-May-2002 5:06pm |
It's only one and a half hours between Oxford and London by coach so I probably will make a few trips (*if* I get to Oxford!). I'd love to visit the science museum - in fcat, I'd like to visit all of them!!! | | cuteasabutton | | (reply to actress) posted 5-May-2002 10:24pm |

I wish I knew.
I tend to wake up around 3 pm and stay up till 7am. The majority of my day is spent at my computer. It's totally unstructured time but involves a lot of guitar, notes, and research. I think most of it goes on in my head. I try to do an errand daily on my bicycle before the sun sets. | | Dino | | (reply to Biggles) posted 6-May-2002 4:35pm |
I havn't been to the science museum since I've moved here. I went once when I was in school myself (so its been a while) but it was fantastic back then so it should be bloody great now. | | actress |
Oh yeah, that's for sure. | | The_Great_1 |
So is it nice in Oregon ???????? | | darkshadowsseeker |
Yes, especially on the Oregon Coast. Where do you live? | | The_Great_1 |
I'm from the good auld Emerald Isle(Dublin, Ireland). | | darkshadowsseeker |
Is that just where you are from or do you still reside there? | | The_Great_1 |
Yeh, I'm still living here. I've been here the last 24 year and have no plans at the moment to leave.... It's a wonderful vibrant city. | | Kristal_Rose |
Do you know any McKinstry's? I have folks there. | | The_Great_1 |
Cant say that I do. Do you know what part of Dublin they are from ??? | | darkshadowsseeker |
It sounds beautiful. I've always wanted to visit Ireland. | | Kristal_Rose |
I don't recall, old queens road, or something. | | cody | | (reply to confetti) posted 18-May-2002 9:25pm |
I am definately becoming fond of that somewhat dogy, matter-of-fact aspect to your voice. Sometimes I wish that the real world were filled with people so colorful. Then again, we wouldn't stand out anymore-- we'd all blend together. It would leave us longing, wishing, and doing our best to become grey again.
Though, I must reaffirm, I'm definately becoming fond of that dogy, matter-of-fact, aspect to your voice.
Sounds like you have a lot of fun, I'm jealous. That is to say--
I want to be a schoolgirl.
Though, I'd settle for having one as a pet.
(Ventures permanently again into the forgotten night.)
God, there's something about girly-ness I just love...
[Gets over it].
Oh well. | | confetti | | (reply to cody) posted 19-May-2002 12:55pm |
Well, you've always known I've had a crush on your I'll-always-be- higher-than-your-standard-but-I-won't-mention-it-and-isn't-life-fun-anyway kind of viewpoint. Or you Some things considered, can I be your personal pet? | | cody | | (reply to confetti) posted 19-May-2002 2:10pm |
Any time you want-- though, I'd have to get to know you a little better before you could sleep on my bed.
| | confetti | | (reply to cody) posted 19-May-2002 2:23pm |
Cool. I always thought you were allergic. | | nasale | | posted 24-May-2002 4:24pm |
I wake up, yawn, get my grandson off to school, yell at Tinker and Taffy (my lovebirds) to quit doing whatever they are doing wrong (biting the others, pushing things down and watching them fall to the floor)tell Aunt Harriette (my black macaw) to quit pecking me on the head because I'm getting a headache. Then, tell her to quit pecking the crap out of my hands because I'm trying to pick up a cigarette.(She hates me smoking) And so it goes. | | ASexyBabe | | posted 28-May-2002 4:06pm |

I have a really horrible description, mainly because I am going to sound terribly lazy. I've been out of work for about a month now. Sometimes, you just need a break. I usually wake up between noon and 2 pm. I eat cereal, pancakes, or waffles. I watch tv. I can't wait until Jeopardy. My boyfriend & I go to work on his parents' house, we're doing home improvement work. Sometimes I stay home and do paperwork and pay bills, get groceries, or catch up with our business. I watch Wheel of Fortune and Friends. We eat dinner sometime between 7 pm and 11 pm. We watch tv and play on the computer, check eBay. We play cards. We get ready for bed. He falls asleep, I stay up. I usually crash between 5 am and 8 am. Sad, huh? | | Biggles | | (reply to wolfchik9) posted 2-Aug-2002 9:37am |
Sounds not far off my current tpical day Except, mine's minus the boyfriend and I'd replace most of the telly time with computer time. Wow, I've just read the description of my typical day that I wrote up there! Things have certainly changed. Aaaaaah, summer holidays! | | bandit1cat |
This is easy, every day is the same. 0555 get up, take a dump while playing solataire on my palm pilot, take a shower, shave, blow dry my hair, put contact lenses in, get dressed, let the dog out, give the cat medicine (lifetime need), put the dog back in cage, drive to mcdonald's, order #3 breakfast, eat, drive to work while smoking 3 cigs, turn on computer at work, enter time for day, surf internet till 12:00, nap until 1:00, eat pretzels/coke for lunch, surf net until 5pm (ok, never any work to do), drive home while smoking 3 cigs, go to restaurant to get dinner for wife and I, buy cigs, smoke cigs, eat dinner, let dog out, give cat medicine, take out garbage, clean litter pan, water garden, smoke cigs, walk dog, smoke cigs, take a dump while playing solataire on palm pilot, take out contact lenses, take some cats into bedroom with me, set alarm for 0555 next morning, sleep. Saturdays are different cause I take time out to masturbate. | | mandy |
What does your wife do? | | bandit1cat | | (reply to mandy) posted 11-Aug-2002 7:17am |
Nothing. Doesn't work that is. Stays home, rarely leaves the house. Doesn't know how to drive either. | | mandy |
