how long does it take you to get ready to go in the morning?

[nairb49]

at least you have rain and not blizzards in -45 C weather....

[Ahlvahroe]

i take my time, usually about an hour. get up use the bathroom, while usually reading something. then an nice long hot shower, followed by getting dressed and leaving.

[C0C0]

20-30 mins shower.dress. attempt to brush hair. find my damn keys

[swooc]

30 with no breakfast, an hour with breakfast, yes im a slow eater .

Majority of the 30 mins is applying acne medication.....fuck i hate acne.

[derdankhund]

5-15 minutes out the door, depending on if I shower or not...

[penfold]

30 min to an hour...turn off the alarm, put mtv or the news on, empty my bowels (with the door open so i can hear the tv), shower, deodorant/moisturiser, choose what to wear and do my hair and im out!

Just out of interest how often do y'all shower?? Even if i shower in the evening I have to shower in the morning...dont feel comfortable getting changed without one

[sam113]

3 to 3.5 hours.

6:30 or 6:45- Isla comes in and wakes me and momma up to read, talk or wrestle

7:00 - Radio news turns on (NPR)

7:15 or 7:30 - momma gets tired of me and Isla keeping her from sleeping, kicks us out of bed and we go downstairs. Isla has some juice and I have an Emergen-C (Tangerine w/ Glucosamine and Condroitin). Isla plays while I do 150 pushups, 120 crunches on a stabilizer ball and as many leg raises as I can manage (usually 110 per leg). I make breakfast- toast w/PB & honey for Isla, 6 shot latte and an english muffin with rasberry jam for me. Isla and I read the paper- she loves the sports section.

8:00 - Crap

8:15 or so - I put Isla in the tub, check my e-mail and PMs. Momma begins to wake up.

8:45 - Get Isla out of the tub, come her hair and get her dressed.

9:00 - Brush teeth and get in the shower. Isla brushes her teeth.

9:15 - Get dressed while explaining to a showering momma that if she got up earlier she could have some hot water too. Take WAYWT pics if possible.

9:30 - Upload pics, get Isla and momma ready to go.

9:45 - Momma leaves for work and Gramma & Grampa pic up Isla.

10:00 - Walk to work.

10:15 - Arrive at work and hook people up with the coolest clothes in town.

Interesting topic- Especially the showering part.

Even people who claim to be the furthest thing from "routine people" (what I am, obviously) if pressed to do so, can tell you exactly the order in which they wash themselves in the shower. If you haven't considered it before, try it; I bet you shower the same way every time.

Wacky.

I go to work later than most, so I usually wake up and still have like 2 or 3 hours to kill, it's pretty brutal sometimes. I wake up, grab a cigarette, have to go turn off my 2 extra safety alarms, and then sit and cruise the internet and eat something I don't have to cook (fruit, cereal, or a bread roll or something) for anywhere between 30 mns-2 hrs. I hop in the shower for about 10 mins, come out and sit and check the internet a lil more while naked, and then I go dress, go back and dry my hair completely and put sunblock/moisturize so I don't dry up, and then I'm ready and still have time to kill usually. Actual prep time is about 10-15 minutes though.

I agree with Fade that if you have to sit around picking out clothes for more than a few minutes, you probably have too many clothes (that don't work together), or you're not pulling off a solid look in the first place, at least for guys. I used to work where I had to wear a suit and tie daily, but that really only took about a minute or two to pick out combinations too, as it's all the same stuff in different colors.

About 2 hours, in which I manage to have a cup of tea, maybe some breakfast, watch at least an hour of daytime television in bed and then spend 15 minutes at the very end running around washing and getting dressed. Morning outfits for uni are generally the first shirt, sweater and jeans that fall into an acceptable combination. I'm a lazy shit like that.

Bathing is an evening routine, and a couple of times a week I'll take the time to attack my hair with shampoo and straighteners, generally when I'm going out in the evening.

[red]

exactly an hour. 5:30-6:30.

ive started waking up late. now i do everything in 15 minutes.

[superdupersang]

get washed/showered, brush my teeth (twenty minutes)

spend about twenty minutes deciding what to wear for the day.

blowdry my hair, spend ten minutes arguing with it, give up and tie it back.

ten minutes applying black eye makeup

grab my bag, pray i have everything i need, leave the flat

I have to get up two hours before my lecture starts to make it in on time.

[canice]

wake up at 7:45, hit snooze on both alarm clocks for another 15 minutes while radio alarm switches on to cbc radio, brush teeth, contacts, moisturize, extreme frustration while picking what to wear, get dressed, make up/hair, pack bag, pills (glucosamine, vitamin c and supplements), breakfast, get the bike, check the mirror to make sure i haven't done anything horrible to my appearance, out the door at 8:30.

between 4 minutes and a couple hours depending if i have somewhere to go or not. last year, i started school at 9 3 days a week and always went to sleep real late, so i set my alarm at 8, snooze till 8:45, get dress, leave at 8:50, buy something to eat at the combini on the way to school, get to school 5 min late, most of the time, some friends were late as well so we had a cigarette before hitting class. i think i was on time maybe 5 times during the whole year, my teacher go so tired(and felt bad cause she had to lower my marks) that was mailling me to make sure i would go to class... i have a punctuality problem
