A vendetta against the alarm clock…

Saturday, November 22, 2014


I am not a morning person.  I have never made a truer statement than that.  This being the case, I have discovered something ingenious and I was going to share it with you yesterday, but the hullabaloo of the morning got in the way.  I digress.  Here we go. 

 I usually have 2 alarms set.  I end up snoozing them for roughly an hour, at which point, I roll out of bed, drag myself to the bathroom to make myself look presentable, eat something that may or may not resemble a balanced breakfast and head out the door usually 10 minutes later than I'd like to be heading out the door.  

My breakthrough the other day was that, heck, I'm setting my alarms too early and wasting valuable sleep time with snoozing.  It's total wasted time.  I'm not getting up and being productive, so I may as well get some actual sleep.  I set each alarm for 15 minutes later and, voila!  They go off, and I GET OUT OF BED, put on an actual outfit, use a curling iron, apply makeup, make waffles (!!!) and coffee (!!!) AND manage to get to work EARLY!  

Go figure…

  4. Love all of this, but those boots...killer! I too have to set two alarms. I'm most productive in the morning but hate to get up.

    1. We are so on the same page about everything here… getting stuff done in the morning does seem to go a bit faster and more efficiently, if only I can manage to get myself out of bed. And yes, these booties are amazing. I want to wear them every day. Forever.

  7. I'm loving your headband! I'm just like you when it comes to setting alarms. The only difference is that I have more than 5 some days. Just in case I don't wake up :)

    1. Gahhh! 5 alarms? I thought I was clever for setting one with a highly obnoxious song. I save that one for days that I have to get up extra early to catch a train or a plane or something!

  8. Love the outfit!! So rock and roll. I had the same alarm clock revelation a few mornings ago too and have since started setting my alarm for later in the day.

    1. Isn't it amazing? I swear, I wish I'd known that the extra 15 minutes would be such a mind blower. I've been missing out on wonderful, wonderful sleep for years!
