So, with all of the craziness going on, my blogging might become slightly sporadic for the next couple of weeks. I’m currently on orientation overload…after sitting for 8 hours on day 1, I am now an expert on all types of fire extinguishers and cultural competency.
I’m also back to working early hours, which means 7 am start times. It is so fortunate that I am a morning person. And yes, I do pick out my clothes and pack my lunch the night before…anything to save time.
I can’t do much cooking right now (moving to my own apartment in a couple of weeks!). Soon, I will have a ton more space, including a special counter spot for my beloved Kitchen Aid mixer, but until then I’m living on tortillas and hummus. And green smoothies.
But I’m really craving a bowl of this right now…if anyone wants to send some soup this way, you’d definitely be my hero.
Are you a morning person? If not, how do you function in the morning?!
There aren't any calories in coffee. :D
ReplyDeleteI am a huge morning person! Normally up at 5 AM ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm a total morning person. I start to fade around 3 pm each day. I've never been much of a late night party girl!
ReplyDeletei'm more a morning person than a night person. moreso because i lose all motivation in the afternoon!
ReplyDeletehope things calm down for you and you continue settling in.
I try to go for a run in the mornings...if not I pretty much feel lethargic the whole day. Coffee and chocolate in the mornings for me!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move, Em!
I would love to be a morning person, but alas I am not. I usually have most of my energy in the middle of the day!
ReplyDeleteAnother morning person here! I can't function well after 6pm.
ReplyDeleteI am a morning person, but ONLY in a routine! If you ask me to get up at 5:30 a.m. after sleeping in for 10 days straight...no thank you. But if I'm in a routine, 5:30 starts to become natural. I'm at work by 7:15 a.m. Mon - Fri and I love it because I'm done by 3:30!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your orientation! :)
haha if i'm ever in ann arbor and need someone to put out a fire OR be my dietician i'm for sure giving you a ring haha
ReplyDeleteHaha, I am the same way--I lay out my clothes/gym outfit and pack my lunch every night!
ReplyDeletelove those yellow flats!!! hehe
ReplyDeletei am such a morning person - usually up at 5:30am :). but at night time, its hard for me to function~~
hope the move to aa went well!!
i am a morning person, but i'm totally with you about saving time in the morning! picking out an outfit the night before (or at least visualizing what you're going to wear so you have a plan) and making lunch are key!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a morning person! Those shoes are absolutely beautiful. That shade of yellow is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteThose yellow flats are SOOOOOO CUTTTTEEE!!! I love them to the moon and back, no joke! May I ask where on earth you got them!? I'd love some shoes like that in orange or teal or yellow...any bright color really! Oh, and I'm definitely a morning person...can't sleep past 8:30 to save my life!
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well with moving and you get settled in soon. Moving is so stressful with everything else going on! I am definitely more focused in the am and wish I could have time to work on thesis first thing because after work I lose all motivation and want to veg! That soup and green smoothie sure look tasty.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a morning person! I love eating my bowl of oats with the morning news and the sunrise! Good luck at work!!
ReplyDeleteI bet your schedule is completely knew and it will take some time to get back into the groove. Like you, I am a morning person, so the early hours typically don't bother me. Also like you, I set out my clothes and pack my lunch the night before, because even ten minutes more sleep is helpful!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying everything, and everyone so far. Remember when we met in orientation?!?! :)
I, too, would LOVE to know where the yellow flats are from! :)
ReplyDeleteactually, i AM a morning person! i usually jump out of bed and think about everything i have to/want to/won't have time to do in a day haha.
ReplyDeletethose yellow flats are too cute!! and yes i am totally a morning person & love getting up & getting my day started. unfortunately my boyfriend isn't which drives me crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am generally a morning person, but I also like late nights. I am so sorry to say this but I think I missed something. Did you start a new job? I know you moved, but I have been in and out of regular posting and I definitely think I missed something. Congrats on whatever it is.
ReplyDeleteI love the morning. However my neighbors probably hate it because Kristin and I have dance parties in the morning (5:30) and I just got a new sound system aka its really loud. At least its good music, right? Is that an egg I spotted in your dilla? I wish you could have some of my eggs from the chickens, they are super delish. Send me a recipe for that smoothie or a couple. Yours look so much better than my poor efforts. If you saw an after picture of the one I sent you, you would laugh then gag.
ReplyDeletethe yellow flats are from target a couple of seasons ago. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing pretty well with my morning routine, so I think I'm making a successful transition to being a morning person. The secret is to get enough sleep, I guess...otherwise I turn into a cranky monster.
ReplyDeleteI hope your transition is smooth...like a smoothie.
I'm a morning person for sure. I don't even have to set an alarm to get up for class! I love having the sunshine wake me up, its much more serene than the buzz of an alarm! I also always get my things ready before I go to sleep. That way, I know I'll start my day stress free.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm loving pitas and hummus right now too. With a side salad and some fruit, it makes the perfect lunch!
Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a morning person, which is a good thing as I start teaching at 7:00 a.m. I'm also not a night person at all...
Ah, I just did orientation not too long ago, and I remember the days of being all idealistic and knowing where all the fire extinguishers are! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteI am NOT a morning person, but I leave my apartment at 7am so I kind of have to be...luckily coffee and a job where you're on your toes from the start wakes you up quite fast!
Love all the colors in your clothes!
Thanks for telling me where you got the shoes; I just saw them again and still seriously love them:)
ReplyDeleteI am not a morning person. For years, I had to get into the office at 5:30am an hour before the stock market opened, and I have no idea how I did it. I remember walking from my house to the office at 5am M-F and I think that helped wake me up. Best wishes with your new venture.
ReplyDeleteI love your yellow shoes. hehe, that's all : )
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna lie, I just found your blog, saw those adorable yellow flats and scoured the comments to find out where they were from!!! Thank you for posting from Target! I doubt they are there but good steal I'm sure! :)
ReplyDeleteAs a comment reader- I also found that nearly everyone is a morning person!! Wow, something about us bloggers huh? I go through phases but mostly been a morning person!
Glad I found your blog and look forward to reading more once you settle down! Good luck with the move!
I am nooooot a morning person. The fact that I have to wake up at 5:30 every morning does not usually get along well with me. Good luck with everything!
