I've had a rough time with mornings lately. I've been going to bed far too late, predictably missing my alarm when it goes off in the wee small hours.
Yesterday was especially bad. I jolted awake with twenty minutes before I had to leave the house. Throwing on whatever clothes I could find in the half light, I stumbled over to the bathroom the make myself look presentable. I flicked on the light. It was dead, and instead of taking the time to change the bulb, I put on makeup in the dark (when I got to work, I realized what a mistake that was).
I also noticed later in the day that the pants I had chosen to wear had dog food on them.
Plus, when I was leaving the house, I glanced into the front room to see that our daffodil plant had thrown itself off the shelf. There was dirt everywhere, but since I had one foot out the door, I had to leave it and call my BH in transit to tell him about the mess.
The solution to these terrible mornings is simply to prepare better the night before and get to bed early. I don't know why I can't just put that into practice.
But in more cheerful news, last night I had So! Much! Fun!
Milan and Emily invited my BH and I over for some grub. Milan said it was to thank us for teaching him how to make crispy tofu, but I think it was just a plot to one-up me. They made this elaborate arugula pesto linguine with roasted veggies, a big salad, and garlic bread. Dude, that is FAR MORE IMPRESSIVE than crispy tofu. Now we're going to have to invite them back and cook a ten-course meal to thank them properly.
I was fed a lot of wine so I *may* have done inappropriate things with avocados. Luckily Emily was all into it and we snuck off to the kitchen to carve faces into fruits and veggies. I'm... Not even kidding. Photos to come.
There's a chance I'll be out of town for a large chunk of this weekend. I will try and post that songwriting video before I leave, should I leave, so you can see one of the many reasons I stay up so late.
Who wants to sleep when you can make shaky videos on your camera?

Emily picked the recipe. On my own, I probably would have made something less elaborate.
What kind of video did you make?
i feel the same way lately about mornings. truth be told i have never been a morning person and likely won't ever be and i so like my quiet time at night when the house is quiet. but the problem is the job. the thing i have to get up and go to in the mornings...i simply feel that i'm somehow missing something if i go to bed too early. weird.

I had a lot of fun. Milan and I later combined efforts to eat the face off of my apple - but we didn't have the heart to devour your yam.
