Reply #41: depends on if I am getting dressed up or not.

for the daily grind, and if my clothes are laid out the night before, coffee pot programmed etc.

I can shower, insert contacts, fluff my hair up, apply sunblocking moisturizer and dress in 20 to 25 minutes. Oh yeah brush teeth, apply deodorant etc.

Getting ready for something w/full makeup, jewelry etc is minimum 30 and more like 45 minutes, because panty hose are usually also involved. I mess with my hair a bit more too.

I am fortunate to have short wavy hair which does its own thing remarkably well when properly cut. Wash and wear hair, if you will.


I get up, put the oatmeal in the microwave, shower, make sure my stuff is all organized, put together a lunch if needed, feed the kitties their morning soft food, and by this time the oatmeal has cooled down enough that I won't scorch my mouth so I sit down to the computer and either read emails, pay bills, surf a little DU or play Heroes of Might and Magic until time to dress and leave. Coffee is usually ready to pour when I come out of the shower so I put it in a tall thermal cup so it doesn't sit on the hot plate and get rank.


None of the above applies if I oversleep. Then it is a big rusharound, and I eat the oatmeal in the car.
