STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Wake up (before alarm 95% of the time - I don't even know why I bother). 
Grab iPhone, check weather app while downloading new email.
Skim email for work catastrophes/emergencies/preparation for what awaits me.
Get out of bed, pee, brush teeth.
Dress in weather-appropriate dog-walking clothes
Go wake up dogs, greet them, harness them and bundle them up if <30 outside.
Walk each of the three puppies separately (they are useless together, but I will work on that when the weather warms up - as a side note this is another reason I can't wait to leave this condo and have a backyard!).
Depending on SO's work schedule, start his car now if it is really cold out (mine's in the garage so I don't bother, but I should).
Come back inside, undress dogs.
Prepare their food/feed them.
While they eat, grind coffee, run coffee pot, wash any dish that might be in my sink (usually just water glasses). I can't stand dirty dishes in the sink. 
Give dogs fresh water, wash dog food bowls.
Shower, get dressed, moisturize face, put hair in a bun.
*sometimes after this I log on to work and work a while, check more email, etc - but not every day*
Pack my coffee in a to-go mug, pack my breakfast & lunch.
Depending on SOs work schedule, start 2nd coffee pot for him, (I really need a bigger coffee pot). 
Leave for work.
Sometimes I skip the coffee and drive-thru dunkin donuts because I heart their coffee but never buy it for home because I always seem to have something "fancier" and my SO doesn't like their coffee anyway (who doesn't like DD?!).

6:45 alarm goes off, loll in bed until

7:15 hop out of bed and into shower - hope puppy continues to sleep so hubby has to take him out

7:40 shuffle into kitchen to make coffee and cereal, wonder why it takes me 20 minutes to shower and put product in hair

7:45 watch 5 minutes of the Today Show and scarf down cereal, get completely depressed by news

7:50 blow dry hair

8:00 freak because I am supposed to be at work, throw on clothes, do makeup

8:10 fill mug with coffee, run out the door, promise tomorrow I will get up 10 minutes earlier

And if the dog wakes up or my outfit doesn't work, everything gets shot to hell and I am even later for work.

- Hear the alarm (6:30)

- hit snooze 5-7 times

- look at the clock and lament at how late it is (7:15)

- cry

- get up, choose clothing

- brush teeth

- wash face/moisturize/apply makeup (if time)

- curl ends of hair (trying to take showers at night)

- grab whatever needs to come with me and rush out the door with not enough time to get to work before 8.  I'm late almost every day.

This is excatly my morning routine. However when I get to work, I zone out for about half an hour reading emails and surfing the web before I start work.

As soon as I get up I take a swig of sunflower oil and swish it around while I begin my day. (Google "oil pulling" if you're curious, don't bother if you're not.)

Interesting. How long do you swish the oil for? and how long have you been doing this? Tell me what positive changes you have had , I am def curious about this!

About 10 minutes or as long as I can stand it. You want the oil to get really thin and watery, and it should be white when you spit it out.

I've been at it 2-3 months and my teeth are noticeably whiter, feel less sensitive, and some minor toothaches have gone away, but, my skin is looking a little ragged on the lower part of my face because of some sort of detox reaction. Whether it's saving my liver and kidneys from the damage I do to them on a regular basis, I can't say. The testimonials online are encouraging, though.

Sesame oil also works, BTW.
