Night time... I missed this morning as I had to wake up and leave the house within 15 minutes.... No time for anything! Wake, shower, dress, and out the door!

That takes you only 15 minutes

Oh, how I envy you males ...

First cup of Rooibos baked apple.

Depends on males and females.
I think British females do it as fast as Stitchawl

I wish I were as fast.
I leave house every weekday at 08.00. In order to accomplish that feat I wake up at 06.20
I have to do 15 minutes morning exercises, shave, dress, eat, brush my teeth. I Have to move fast to get it done by 08.00

Just finished a cup of Tea House Emporium English Breakfast.

Before that I tried two new Chinese Black teas.
Yunnan Imperial and Tippy Yunnan.

Hmm. Difficult to say anything at the moment.
The first impression is that both are nice. Remind very much of Keemun but lighter version. I think Tippy has a bit stronger flavour.
We will see. I am planning to vacuum clean the house, then drink them again.

Hah, you're even worse than me. I leave the house at 06.35 and get up at 05.50 (soooo early

). 45 minutes is not so bad right? But I really rush in the morning, and I only have time for the 'basics'. I spend 5 minutes on breakfast and the rest of the time in the bathroom. On non-working days, it takes me about an hour and a half to get ready.

Third cup of Rooibos baked apple.

Coke Zero #2.

ProfCrash · 02-19-2011, 10:19 AM

Before puppies and Facebook I was up and out in 15 minutes. I don't wear make up, awful for the skin, expensive, and I really just think it is a pain in the ass to use. I take my shower when I get home from the gym at night. I eat breakfast at work.

With feeding, watering, and playing with puppies I need an hour or so. When they are eating and pooping I can play a few silly games.

maianhvk · 02-19-2011, 10:23 AM

hah, I need around 20mins each day in the summer to be ready to get out of the house. however I assume I need the extra 10mins in the winter to get on the parka, the socks with the boots, the scarf, the mittens...

in my cup: Nestlé Milo.

I also wake up, wash, get dressed and breakfast in 15 min. I get up at 7.00 o'clock and am through with breakfast at 7.20 and start working at 8.00 0'clock. Most of the days I work at home, so I can take the time to properly wake up.
But guys always have to shave

every day of their life.......

That is very early Iridal. Then you have to go to sleep very early as well.

About that Rooibos and the baked apple: I keep having visions of a cup of Rooibos tea next to a steaming baked apple, wrapped in crispy brown dough and applesauce in the middle. But I guess it is an apple- flavoured tea?

With feeding, watering, and playing with puppies I need an hour or so. When they are eating and pooping I can play a few silly games.

I can usually be ready to go in ten or fifteen minutes. I very seldom wear makeup (Chris hates it, and it ends up caking and making me look older), so all I have to do is brush my hair and put it back and make sure I'm dressed appropriately for whatever the plans are for the day. Like ProfCrash, I shower at night. Even if for some reason I have to shower before I leave though, it still only takes me as long as it takes to get my hair dry enough to put up.

Diet Dr Pepper this morning (early for me)

Most guys I know shave every couple of days, not every day. I actually like it that way better, I don't like clean-shaved faces

It's too early, and I usually go to bed at 11PM which is too late. I could get up later and take the next train, but than I get home later as well. I leave at 6.35 and arrive at work at 8.20. I leave work at 5 and arrive home at 6.30. If I took a train later, I would get home at 7.15. Then workout, cooking, dishes and some entertainment and before I know it, it's 10.30. But luckily I get to work home sometimes as well.

Last cup of Rooibos baked apple. Yes, it's an apple-flavoured tea. It has pieces of apple and cinnamon. I really like it. Although your kind of baked apple sounds really good as well

I just can't leave the house without taking a shower, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Especially in the summer when it's too warm in my room and I've been sweating all night. Yuck.

I also very rarely wear make-up (always mascara) mostly because it takes too much time to do every morning. But unlike you I have to spend lots of time on my hair. My hair is naturally curly (which I hate), so I have to blowdry and then use my straighting iron to get it to look decent. That alone takes 15 minutes
