Things you should not do:

wake me up at 6:30 to borrow my cell phone for a phone call you don’t even make
vacuum downstairs before 7AM
be my neighbor who decided to pull out fence posts with his Jeep and repeated hit the gas trying to get said fence post out at 6:30AM.
let your yappy dogs outside at 5AM so they can bark nonstop outside your neighbor’s (MY) window for an hour.

The past two days have been like this. I was woken up way too early by ridiculous things that were not necessary when I didn’t have to be up for a few more hours.

I really enjoy my sleep. I need sleep or I’m a complete bitch. It’s true. And once I’m up, I’m up. I can’t fall back asleep. So not enough sleep, of course, doesn’t start my day off right and then if I have to deal with bullshit all day?

Let’s just say Jamie hasn’t been so lovely this week.

The chipper and happy people who are bright eyed and bushy tailed at 7AM need to just stop or keep that nonsense far away from me. I’m thrilled you’re a morning person but I would be more thrilled if you stayed away from me. I do not want to talk to you about your new project or that new dress you bought on sale before 9AM. Once I’m fully awake, I’m more than happy to talk about your cat, Fluffy, and your dinner plans.

(And there is the revving of the engine again. Dude, you’ve been trying to get the post out for two hours, the effing fence post is not coming out!)

So for the record: you shouldn’t talk to me until I’m fully awake because you will either 1) be completely ignored or 2) more than likely be dead and buried by a murderous look and a “seriously?”.

Obviously, there are exceptions to this rule though.

Like this weekend, I’ll be at BlogHer. So many friends and people I want to meet will be there and there will definitely not be enough time to do it all so I will be squeezing as much in as possible. So don’t worry BlogHer roomies, I’ll be in the best mood ever this weekend.

And probably more than slightly drunk.

yappy dogs in the morning…not a fan. there’s one next door and one two doors down. she walked by one day and said ‘oh i never hear your dog’ and i wanted to say ‘probably because your’s doesn’t shut up!’

These are good things to know prior to being your roomie on Sat night/Sun AM. I have to warn you… on vacation weekends like this I am a total morning person because I don’t want to miss ANYTHING. So, while I’ll stumble back drunk w/ you on Sat night… I will wake you up with showtunes on Sunday morning pre-boat cruise.

Unless you threaten to hurt me, then maybe I’ll let you sleep and we’ll meet for brunch

Thank god our neighbors aren’t noisy. I am soooo not a morning person either.

I cannot function without a full night’s sleep. I had neighbors that STOMPED up and down the stairs constantly. As if it was impossible or unheard of to walk up/down the stairs slowly/quietly. Are you being chased? Are you both wearing wooden shoes?? They also loved bad 90’s music. At 6am. SIGH. Sleep is precious.

My boyfriend works third shift and still wakes up around noon everyday. That equals out to about 4 hours of sleep every single night. I have no idea how he does it, I need a good 9 hours to feel refreshed and ungrumpy. You know

I am not a morning person either. At all. Not even a little bit. I don’t like the fact that my work day starts at 8am and by 8:15 am, I’m talking to customers, co-workers and other people. Makes me crrraaaazy. So I know how you feel =) Have a great time this weekend!

ME too!
And The Boy is one of those annoying morning people. He has still yet to completely understand the fact that I am just incapable of having a conversation before 9am.

Can I just say a big freakin’ WORD to this whole post? You and I would do ok together, but instead I’ve found myself surrounded by morning people.

Boyfriend? Voluntarily goes to work at 6am, gets up a lot earlier. I already warned him when he helps me move on Sat. that I will be an enormous bitch at 7am if I have to move boxes. He just smiled and said we’ll get through it.

I’ve tried becoming a morning person and it’s not working. After 29 years of being a night person,

Apparently only half of my comment was added… strange. What I was saying was… After 29 years of being a night person, I’m not going to try and pretend like I enjoy the mornings anymore!

I am a morning person, my husband is not, so I am not allowed to talk to him until he “wakes up” only way to make the marriage last!

The drunk part will keep almost everyone happy. I wish I could go to a cool meet up like that I’m not a morning person too!

I prefer no interruptions on my sleep before 10:00am. If it’s before 8:00am though, you can bet I’ll be mad for the day.

Mornings suck. Pee in their flowerbed as payback…..what? Just sayin.
.-= Meghan´s last blog ..Diagnosis =-.

I identify with this so much. But I’m not a morning person regardless of if I’ve had enough sleep.

btw take lots of pictures at BlogHer!
