a day in the life..

as i told one of my besties via bbm this morning: "i feel like i'm just stuck in a life rut." read on-if you dare. 

(warning: reading the following blog post may cause bouts of boredom, indifference and in extreme cases, even narcolepsy.)

1) 5:15 am wake up call from the hospital. canceled for today due to a low census (oh the perks of a per diem job).

2) attempt, in vain, to fall back asleep. lay in bed til 7ish.

3) get up and make plans with mother to go to 8:30 spin class at gym.

4) spin, spin, spin. (the instructor plays some of my song suggestions!)

5) coffee from seven eleven. young indian worker guy greets me with "good morning beautiful" i awkwardly look around to make sure he is talking to me and then respond with a tentative good morning. i think to myself that he needs to have his glasses prescription checked as i just came from gym and am in sweaty workout clothes, a ponytail, and wearing no makeup. grosssss.

6) shower, eat greek yogurt for breakfast and send some emails/browse on the internets for jobs.

7) shopping with mom. first stop, the GAP to look for skinny, white, cropped jeans. mom = success. i = fail. they have the size below mine and above mine. have store call other nearby GAP but they are out, too. maybe online?

8) sephora's up next because mom wants a bright pink lipstick for summer. she is loving my lip color but i explain that its layers of different things. the base being a drugstore cheapie- maybelline coral crush (but it goes on super bright so you have to blot a lot of times to tone it down).

9) try various lip products. mom settles on a stila lip stain and a makeup for ever lip liner. i tell her that i can gift her one of my far too many glosses so she can achieve the desired effect. she also picks up an urban decay shadow in shotgun (a dusty shimmery rose) and benefit BADgal lash mascara (<-two of my faves for eye makeup). i tell mom that she is pretty hip for fifty-one.

10) pick up lil bro #2 from school, a quick dunkin donuts pit stop for iced coffees and we're off to a nearby low-income town where bro runs an after school club with fifth graders. the kids are putting on a play in june. i am enlisted to put my drama/directorial skills from high school to use.

11) takeout salads from here for dinner.

12) reading/blogging on bed.

and as for the rest of the night, most likely..

13) some bad tv, including real housewives of nyc.

14) talk to b.o.b por teléfono. (that's boyfriend of boston- for those not in the know. it's my own little clever take of the endearing battery operated boyfriend/bf on batteries)

15) sleep. "work" 7am-3pm tomorrow. (fingers crossed i actually get to work because i could use the moolah)

whew! i nearly fell asleep typing that. kudos-if you made it this far. i promise to have some more thrilling things coming your way soon. i've been brainstorming some fun ideas for posts and (drum roll please...) memorial day is coming up. can you say mini-vacay?!? what are your plans, beautiful readers?
