Sudden Realisation!

So I guess this occurred a couple of weeks ago, but I have not had time to write or had merely forgotten!
I am a Late Person!!!!!
Now most of you who know me, probably already know that, but were too nice to say anything!!
But I just realised it myself the other day when I was having a chat with my boss, she commented that I am 5 minutes late everyday, and it kinda got me thinking!
How did I become that late person, I hate being late!!!
I worked out that I am not late to things that I deeply care about. For example, I am never late to my Tupperware parties as I am the demonstrator and it would be a really bad image of me to be late! Not that I don't care about work, but I kinda just let myself slip!
It's things that don't rely on me being there that I am late to! I believe my family is one of those late families. We were always running late to church even though it was just down the road, I can now understand my Father's annoyance at me for taking too long to get ready!
The other week we had my nephew's christening and I was running late for getting ready for that, mind you that wasn't entirely my fault!!! You see I know how long it takes me to get ready for certain things, so I get up in time to be ready by that time. For example for this particular morning we were told we had to be at the church by 10am. This was all discussed the night before; I even confirmed the time with my sister in law on leaving. So I wake up at 8am, because I do take my time in the morning and I don't like to be rushed. At about 8:45am after I had finished my breakfast and my coffee and I was about to have another smoke before jumping in the shower, my brother in law turns up saying "We have to be at the church by 9:30am!" so there cuts my time down from 1 hour to less than 45 minutes!!! I had to Shower, wash my hair, blow dry and straighten it, do my make up and get dressed! Normally I would do a rush job (which I hate doing) and scoot out the door, but because this was an important family event and there would be photo's etc, I needed to look ok! I DO NOT walk out the door to an important family event looking half done, I'm sorry but its not me!
So any way David (Matt's dad) starts cracking the shits, saying I am always late (which is partially true), but I believe in these circumstances, when the time gets changed last minute, I am entitled to be a little bit annoyed! So anyway it didn't even matter that we were late (by like 5 mins) because the service didn't start till after 10am!!! I said to Matt, what was the big deal with us being here early?
Maybe I am being selfish, which technically lateness screams of selfishness, as in your time is not important to me, but in my case that is not entirely true! I do care about being on time, infact, I actually hate being late! My problem is time management in regards to getting ready!
Every weekday I am required to be at work by 9am. so in order for me to be fully dressed, made up and hair done by 9am I have to get up by 8am (even that is rushing it). If I want to have breakfast I have to be up by 7:30!
You see I like to take my time, relax and drink my coffee, and by the time 8:45am rocks around I don't like to be frantically rushing around!
I am pleased to say though, I have not been late to work for the past two weeks!!! Yay for me! I even started at 8am today and I was here on the dot of 8am!
So to summarise all of these points :
1. I am a late person and I now know that I am
2. I need to allow adequate time to get ready
3. Never trust a Gedge with an accurate time of when to be somewhere as no doubt it will change!!!
So I have decided that I am going to change my late habit, I never want to be late again!! So here is what I am going to do:
1. Get up at 7am each work day so that I have enough time to get ready and eat breakfast!
2. Go to bed earlier as the reason why I sleep in is because I go to bed too late!
3. and finally remember that everyone's time is equal to my own and I should not waste it! It really is amazing how much you can get done in Five minutes!!!
Thats all for now, I better get back to work.....

हैप्पी Easter

ok for some reason my title is in some other language!!! Don't ask me why!!! It says Happy easter!!!
So I am gonna try and upload a video lets see how i go!!!

So no idea if that worked but I am sure you can make the judgment for yourself!!!
So Easter has been good! We went out for my birthday last night and had heaps of fun!!! Came back home after and played WII for a while and then watched Scrubs into the wee hours of the morning!
Matt bought me seasons 1-5 of scrubs on dvd!!! Damn I love that show!!!!
So anyways today is Easter Sunday and we have had a very relaxing day! We did our eggs this morning and then I had Lunch with Michelle and John and their family, which was really nice!
I have to say my Husband has really spoiled me this year!!! I got a Lindt gift pack, so yummy!!!!
So I am sure most of you know that Matt and I have started trying for a baby! If you didn't know that, then you do now!!! I'm not pregnant as yet, but as we have only been trying for one month it was not unexpected!! So one month down, I am in the fertile zone now and for another 24 - 36 hours, so I guess I really shouldn't be wasting my time on the puter!!!
So till next time, Aidios!
