A day in the life of The Yarnista: the early hours.

5:45am: Arise.
5:46: Arrive in kitchen.
5:46:30: Make coffee.
5:48: Turn on computer. Wait for coffee.
5:52: Obtain coffee in large mug. Add half and half. No sugar.
5:53: Consider breakfast options. Shall I have cereal, or cereal? Perhaps cereal? I think cereal sounds good today.
5:54: Bring cereal and coffee to office. Log in to computer.
5:55: Skim emails received during what would widely be known as, "Nighttime on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States on the continent of North America."
5:57: Begin answering emails while simultaneously drinking coffee with half and half, no sugar, and eating Grape Nuts with organic 2% milk, no sugar.
5:57:30: Reply to all emails.
6:20: Take last sip of coffee and check in on my Ravelry groups. Reply to posts. Smile.
6:35: Return dishes to kitchen. Contemplate going back to bed for more sleep.
6:36: Decide instead to sit on deck overlooking woods and read newspaper.
6:36:30: Look up from the front page of newspaper to see a small, naked child dying of malnutrition and begging for the attention of her mother standing before me.
6:36:31: Realize this is only my progeny acting to manipulate my sympathies and get me to make her breakfast rather than reading newspaper.
6:36:32: Refold newspaper and make breakfast for the many, many small occupants of my home. Human and otherwise.
Please let me know when your eyes have resumed their normal blinking pattern after staring in bleary-eyed boredom through the minutiae of my morning.
P.S. Wait until I get to the part where I eat nothing but cookies and a latte for dinner. It will really get your heart pumping.

LOL.....well of course you had a cookie and latte for dinner, you had to make up for the healthiness of breakfast:)
I love your morning...probably because it sounds so much like mine! (except I snuck a cupcake for breakfast before all the little people awakened- maybe I should have Grape-nuts for dessert tonight!)
This is not really related to your chat about your morning schedule, but I am new to your site and did not know where else to write this. The picture that you have toward the bottom of Alpine Europe has some great colors in it and would be a great variety for dyeing. I would definitely purchase :) And I don't even know how to knit...haha, just crochet a little. But I promise, I want to learn.
