It has long been my contention that there are two types of people in this world and only two.
Morning people and NOT morning people.





Morning people wake up chattering like a flying monkey on speed. Bob is a morning person. I swear to you every morning (including weekends no matter how late we've been out the night before) the alarm goes off at 10 till 7. I lay there, trying to pretend I didn't hear it so I can go back to sleep. It takes all of oh.... one second before Bob is talking, cheerful and wide awake.

"Good morning! How are you today."

"sleepy", I moan, pulling the covers up over my head.

"Sleepy? You slept all night. Get up! We're burnin daylight."

"ten more minutes. pleeeeeeeease!"

"The alarm went off an half hour ago."
Now I know it didn't cuz...I heard it.

Lucy's kennel has been stategically placed in our room. She is his willing accomplice.
She has learned to make this wooooooooOOOOWWW wooooooooOOOOOOOW sound when she's needing some love from me or Bob. Soon as she hears his voice, she starts getting louder and louder the longer no body comes to open her door.
So now we have Bob chattering away while Lucy, does the background wooooooOOOOOOOOW wooooooooOOOOOWing.

At this point Bob will say..."Aw, poor Lucy. Won't she let you out?" That's when my bladder joins the frey and shouts out...."I'd like to be emptied now please!"
I get up, open the kennel door, shuffle into the bathroom, and on bad days, misjudge the sitter and nearly fall on the floor.

It's maddening, I tell you. How can anybody human wake up talking? And not just grunts either. Whole sentences. WITH QUESTIONS!

So which are you? Morning person? Or non?

NOT! You wanna talk in the morning, pick up the phone and call someone who gives a shit. If I don't get to hit the snooze....then mt smack is coming your way! lol
Okay, I'm not that bad.....but you get the idea.
Let's sleep in together and let Tina and Bob have a night out!

` BTW, love the pic of Spongebob. It's soooo cute! And I have never even seen that show!!

` ...Yes indeed, if you have morning troubles, find something to snort.
` French Vanilla is the most pleasant flavor.

Tina, I had a feeling you might be a morning person.

Tumble, you realize they'd just wake us up first thing in the morn, next day. Maybe if we had like....oh...a coffee IV drip or something that came on automatically about an hour before they wake up.

G, oh yeah. We get up so early some morning I can take care of the critters, drink my coffee annnnd, add comments on the blog. LOL!

See, I'm still leaning toward the Coffee IV. Thing is, I don't wake up on Bob's level of UP AND RUNNING! till mid-afternoon. Unless a'course there's something really exciting goin on. LOL!

I saw on the morning news that it has now been proven people who sleep in until at least 8am, live longer than early risers.

Early birds are also more likely to develop memory loss.

I ain't no early waker nor nuthin but you can't listen to Millie there. She's so full of sheet the whites of her eyes are goin brown. There weren't no tv show on like that.

Morning here babe! I have to be at wotk at 7, I wake up at 3:30, drink coffee, shower, get cleaned up, do some house work, and play shape shifter.

I use to blog, but there isn't anyone to play with so now I just play games.

I get up talking...mostly just to myself, but I could give you a call and help you wake up.

I was once a morning person; I changed after my cat began sleeping with me.

I want to retire...once I retire I may start sleeping til 5 or 6. As long as I'm awake before the sun...I like watching the sun come up.

I'm THAT person! I wake up before the alarm clock goes off and jump out of bed, birds chirping, happy to be alive. I don't even drink coffee. I want everyone around me to be as chipper as possible. Unfortunately, Mr. Sign hates morning as does our eldest child. They are party poopers.

I am a tweener. Say what. Well I wake up about 6:00. Sometimes I hit snooze for over two hours before I have to get out of bed to go into work. More likely when the alarm goes off I get up and ease my way into the day before I head into work. I like to check out online. Possibly post something. Get some work done at home. Eat something, try and exercise and ... finally when I get into work have my coffee. I typically only have one cup of coffee and that will do me unless I go out for breakfest than bring on the cofffee.

I could carry on a conversation in the morning but I am not sure I could manage to keep up with a Bob or Tina or Sign. So I just say I am a tweener. Sorry.

I'm a morning person!

I wake up and my tongue starts wagging.

Then after that I might say a word or two...

He-he...

I changed after my cat began sleeping with me.

` Nick, that's just wrong. BTW, Crabs, there's lots of things to get you up in the morning here!

Rise and shine sweetie! If you woke up now, you could have all your chore's finished before daylight.

 

At 1/12/2007 8:07 AM, Blogger Crabby

Manny, don't even think about calling me before daylight. That's my beauty sleep time. Just a few more years and I figure I'll have a decent looking face.

Nick, what does......no....ugh uh. I'm not even gonna ask.

Sign, Remind me and Mr. Sign never to go on a trip with you and Bob at the same time.

Barman, that's not a bad deal at all. I like the tweener idea.

Dirk, you are baiting Shirleys dirty mind, right? LOL!

Seequin, I don't wanna get up any earlier. It's bad enough now. I'll go look but...I'm scairt.

Manny, here's a better idea. I'll get up later and lie about having my chores done. WOOT!

You can't speak to me until I've had a cup of coffee.
