Beautiful day

I finally went to bed at a decent time last night and washed my hair last night so it wouldn't take me so long to get ready this morning. (Darn long hair.) When I started this job, I would be out the door with a face full of war paint, nice clothes and hair styled (of course it was also winter time so I was more likely to wear my hair down) by 7:10. I would get to work by 7:45 and life was great.

Lately I have been hitting snooze, throwing my hair up in a clip, throwing on whatever and racing out the door in a sheer panic at 7:30. I'd be flipping people off and driving like your typical Southern California driver. Sometimes I'd slap on some war paint in the parking lot, sometimes not.

This morning I didn't feel frazzled on the road. I didn't flip anyone off. I got to Fullerton at 7:30 with straightened hair and a chipper attitude. I went to Albertson's for some yogurt and picked up a Lean Cuisine panini ($1.99 for a whole lot of frozen stuff at Albertson's right now) to go with my soup for lunch (which just made lunch a whole lot more exciting.) I also had to laugh that Albertson's has their yogurt for 50 cents most of the time. They also had Yoplait for $1.05 (smaller container.) Yoplait has twice the amount of sugar than the generic and its more expensive and a smaller container. Seems like a no-brainer to me kids.

I came into the office at 7:50 with a slice of whole wheat bread with some natural chunky style peanut butter and yogurt for breakfast and my panini and soup lunch. Today is going to be a great day and tomorrow I am taking my Little Sister to Sea World.

I know how you feel!

I used to have a 30 minute (usually more) drive to work. I would blast the heat to dry my hair.

LOL, I used to cook taquitos on my dashboard vent! I'd be at a red light, turning them (as if they are on a grill or something) and people would stare!

I also slap on the warpaint in the parking lot (which is much better than when I used to just do it while stopped in traffic....)
