I start work promptly at 9:00 a.m.  Perhaps I should re-phrase that.  My works starts with or without my promptly at 9:00 a.m.  I am always here at 9:10 a.m.  Never fails.  I suppose it could be worse.  And no one cares but me.  I work through lunch on almost a daily basis, just eating my peanut butter and jelly (grape--yum) at my desk.  But.  This 9:10 a.m. phenomenon (that word is overkill...) proves a point:  I need to not have a day job.  I mean, I'm pretty good at rolling out of bed at 8:20, taking my shower, doing my hair and makeup, getting dressed and making lunch all within 20-25 minutes so I'm out the door by 8:45 or 8:50 a.m.  But then I have to drop my husband off at school on my way to work--which takes 10 minutes.  So, if I'm being honest, that usually puts me already at 9:00 before actually heading towards work after going AWAY from it 10 minutes earlier.  

So this is why I need Etsy (and soon to be Art Fire because [link] is the coolest URL ever--I had never heard of Art Fire before deciding on Arts Afire, which makes it even cooler) to work out for me.  So that I can be my night owl self.  I can stay up until 2 a.m. painting and working and not have to get up until 10 or 10:30 a.m.  It would be a much better situation for myself.  And I know that most Etsy artists get up really early when they get to finally make a go of it as a full-time operation.  But staying up later (giving into my natural Sara) buys me the same amount of time, so it's a completely fair trade off.

My office is freezing today and I did not wear a sweater.  Joy.

I'm so taking an early lunch and heading to Barnes and Noble for a hot drink to go with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich because today, today I am not working through my lunch.  I'm kind of tired of that.

Countdown to Disneyland:  11 days.  
Countdown to pre-Disneyland Vacation:  8 days, or 6 work days.  

I am now wearing my coat.  Very cold in here.
