Things you should never be late for:

Hey there! I know I haven't written since my last bold statement of really getting back into blogging on a regular basis, but life and my crazy head always seem to get in the way.  But, today I have a blog worthy bit for you:

I have been thinking (or experiencing) some situations with my EPIC lateness for everything recently.  This is not a new thing for me, I have always been one to be running out the door at the last minute - or 5-10 minutes after that - . When I lived in Florida my boss pretty much told me that exact time was not crucial as far as getting there in the morning, the main point of importance would be to be consistent.  And of course to make up for time as needed.  This meant that if I rolled in at 8:15am it was no big deal really because it could be counted on, meaning that if someone was looking for me they would generally know that I would be there a little after 8:00. 
Similar situations existed in High School when I was the one who happened to take the attendance in my first class so I could stroll in a little late, or another teacher laughed when I walked in and changed the attendance sheet.  What I am trying to say I guess by all of these needless explanations of the acceptance of my natural tardiness is that I have had it easy when it comes to punctuality for most of my life.
That being noted, it used to take me an hour to get ready in the morning.  Since I moved to Washington, for some reason or another (I have not yet figured it out honestly...) I cannot seem to get ready and get our the door in less than 2 hours (seriously) and in all honestly 2 1/2 is preferrable.  So if I am to be at work at 8:30, I have to get up before 6:00! It's freaking ridiculous! But, in order to cut that time I have to go without things like makeup, dry hair, clothing, accessories, food, coffee.  Well, for public decency purposes clothing is not one I typically go without.  But I will often end up at work without earrings, breakfast and the underneath part of my hair is still wet and the top is dry and flat ironed.  I am really putting it out there folks...I have a problem. 
I was telling my hair stylist last week about this problem and she asked what I was doing to use all that time - we concluded that I should possibly time each activity and see what it is that I'm doing so slowly..or perhaps I am spending time just staring into space.....so enough of that-  Getting back to the topic of the post which is....
