Erin The Great

If there is one thing that should be scratched from existence, it’s the fact that Mondays exist! I woke up unceremoniously to the blaring of my alarm clock. I was wondering why my alarm clock went off so stinking early, when I remembered… early morning meeting. OY! I waited several minutes for my eyes to focus while I stumbled around my room looking for any clothes that didn’t smell like they could wander off on their own. Great way to start my day!

After I quickly ‘Febreeze bathed’ a pair of jeans, I made my way for the kitchen knocking over various things on my way to the refrigerator. (If you can’t tell, I am so very coordinated in the morning before 10 am and most importantly, before caffeine) As I literally ran into the fridge I finally managed to get it open where my ‘wake up’ juice (Dr. Pepper) sat gleaming. I popped the top and started to guzzle with all my might. I felt the tiny bubbles going through my system slowly waking my nerves up enough to drive my self to work.

As I tried driving, I nearly escaped about 7 car accidents in my 10 min. journey. Apparently everyone was having a bad morning too. After dodging Utah cars, I finally made it to my destination relatively unscathed. As I sat in my meeting, I couldn’t help but wonder how I possibly could have woken up, ran out the door and drove to work in a matter of about 15 minutes. AMAZING!!! I was pretty jazzed for someone who sat in the meeting with her eyes glossed over, wearing an expression like, dear heaven kill because it’s WAY to darn early for civilization to be out and about.

The morale of the story is that it is NEVER too early for caffeine folks, and if you have an early morning meeting, it’s probably best that you don’t go looking like you’re a cast member of ‘Night of the living dead’!
