Good morning! Not.

I feel like instead of asking the question IF I have strange morning rituals the question should ask WHAT ARE your strange morning rituals because whether you accept that you do or not, everyone has quirky things they do in the morning in order to function. (Weekends are a whole different kind of weird than days that I work :)

Let's start, shall we! I, personally, think that the sound/song/etc. chosen to wake up to can make or break the vibe of the day aaaaaaand also says a little something about who you are as a person. Currently, my alarm tone is the Pink Panther theme song :) One a side note, I also enjoy You Can Call Me Al, the Duck Tails theme song, or Kung Fu Fighting. These songs just put a grin on my face immediately, which is exactly what I need since I am NOT into mornings. I don't even want to think about how annoying my day would be if I woke up to some random tinkling bell sound or regular alarm clock. Just.bad.

Back to my morning shenanigans....the snooze button is equally the best and worst invention. I know I'm going to hit it at least once so I intentionally set my alarm for 10 minutes earlier. Yup, I'm winning that round. I'm going to snooze AND have enough time to get ready. Genius.

I also like to 'wake up my room' so to speak. Huh? I can hear you asking. I make my bed every day. I haaaave to. I'm kind of a freak like that. I will literally think about my unmade bed and probably get hives-I don't know, I've never actually done it. Too risky. You can blame my parents for training me so well ;) Secretly, I love to have my room in order so I thank them, but some days I would really prefer not to care that my bed is made, especially when I wake up with 20 minutes until I have to leave for work. *Sigh, oh the burdens of being a neat freak.

I also have a weird order to how I get ready, but that would be sharing a bit too much of my crazy :) I don't want to seem tooooooooo quirky now do I? Short of the long, I do what I need to do in order to make mornings better since it is far from being my favorite part of the day. What weird things do YOU do??

The picture below sums up how I feel puuuuuurrrfectly ;)
