30 Day Meme-All about today

Describe your day in detail
Ok, technically this was last Friday.

Morning:
Woke up-I usually get up between 5 and 6.
The idea is to work out, but usually I end up watching tv and surfing the net.
This morning I pondered doing a spin class but opted to workout during lunch instead.
Instead, I'm checking facebook, bear411, flickr and a number of other sites.
Nothing was on tv so I put in Stand By Me.
Jim usually gets us around 7:30. So I get to enjoy about 2 hours of silence with just me and Miles (the dog)
Time to get in the shower and get ready for work.
Got ready, ate my usual Honey Bunches of Oats, today is a casual day at work, but that still means we have to look nice-Diesel jeams, Ted Baker shirt, Frye boots.
Grabbed my gym bag, back pack (which I hate-I need a new one), lunch (leftovers from last night), phone, ipod, keys, tickets, money, passport.
Put on my headphones and sunglasses and tuned out the world listening to Pandemonium from Pet Shop Boys (damn you Thomas!)

I take the light rail train to work. It's across the street from the house and makes my commute a MILLION times nicer.
But, I sit there, play with my phone or ipod and today I had a new Bon Appetit.
LOVE IT!
The cruising on the train is fair at best. Sometimes there are some cutie bears on there, but not lately. If you follow me on facebook, then you get to see my dad safaris sometimes.

Work:
Arrive between 8 and 9
My work scheudle is pretty much the same:
Come in, check emails (right now, I whittled it down to 2220 emails), answer my phone calls and try to plan out my list of things to do and inevitably as happened today, was then hit with a list of fires that all needed to be put out. sigh.
But such is my life.
I'm going to try and sneak out around noon to workout-the gym's around the corner. We'll see if I'm able to make it.
I pretty much snack at work. Eat my lunch at my desk and normally I work until about 6 or 7.
I'm hoping to not come in this weekend.
Well, I snuck out and went to the gym. I did what they call a Survivor class. I thought it was gonna be more like a Pilates class and it was way more like a high intesity step class with weights. UGH!
Man, I was sweating up a storm. But it was good and I did the whole glass and so watch out. You'll be able to bouce a quarter off my ass soon.
So, I'm back at work, putting out fires and hoping to get out of here in the next 45 minutes.
I have the inlaws arriving tonight to celebrate the gothspring's birthday.
YAY!
Sadly, you can't read sarcasm into that last sentence, but it's there

HOME:
Headed home early (6pm) because the inlaws were expected to arrive at 7pm from Tucson.
On the train I get a frantic phone call from Jim-from what I deciphered, it was something about parents early, toilet broken, no water. LOL.
I get home. Jim is crawled under the toilet fixing it frantically. I calm him, by saying that I'll get his parents and he can keep working.
Picked them up at the airport and then we all headed to a friend's home for an amazing poached salmon for dinner
Finished dinner around 9 and then took them to their hotel (they don't stay with us) and finally came home and went to bed.

a day in the life, meme
