Getting Up Early
I am not an early rise unless i have to be but everyone once in a while I get this idea of like you know what I'm going to get up early and get so much done. And like once every 7.8 years that works. Generally I end up getting up like 15 minutes early and expecting to get 100 things done but really it is just 15 minutes. It's so funny how like in morning time , I just feel like I should be able to get a million things done since I got up early, even if it is only 10 minutes earlier than usual. And then I try and get some stuff done but really have no time and end up getting nothing done and being late for work.

I usually just end up taking more time to do the same things I always do in the morning, and then ultimately end up leaving at least 3-5 minutes later than I would have if I had slept in.

i now have to be up between 5 and 6 depending in the day, and it's a miracle i don't look like a crazy mismatched person all the time.... i hate mornings.

Ellen's Birthday
I just entered a contest to win a trip to Ellen for her birthday. I couldn't find the directions anywhere about they wanted and it just said Tell Your Story (and limited you to only so many words) so this is what I wrote basically. I forgot to save it to it is from memory, the real one was a little better i think:

I am not really sure what you want here (were there directions somewhere because I couldn't find them?) So I guess I will just write about me and Ellen. I would love to come for your birthday. I have always wanted to go to LA and see celebrities and of course you are celebrity #1 and being on your show and meeting you would be amazing. I hate flying but I would do it for you. Haha I just read that and it makes me sound as if I am doing you a favor by coming, well maybe I am. I am pretty fun. Maybe then you could come to Buffalo in August for my birthday but you would have to provide your own transportation but I'd pick you up at the airport.

I have loved your show and your stand-up forever. I was just watching your old stand-up the other night. I love your joke about gogurt and yogurt mobiility. I always try to tell people it but I don't have the "Sorry Tom, I can't tonight I just opened a yogurt" voice that you have. I just love that joke.

I would love to be on your show but actually I would be really nervous because then I would have to be fun and crazy and witty. And i would have to dance. I am not really a dancer. LIke if the mood strikes but not a run of the mill daily dancer. Pick Me! Please! Pretty Pretty Please!

I used up every last character I was allowed (even had to delete a few spaces to make it work) and then for the picture I sent one of me and my puppet unicorn

Wish me luck!

I remember before she was even on TV mom had her book at home. I thought she was so hillarious.

Frustrating Day turns to Christmas
Today was such a frustrating day for no like specific reason just overall I felt annoyed at tons of stuff all day long, I was in a real bad mood by the time I left work but then I came home to a delicious dinner and Christmas tree decorating and who isn't happy after decorating a Christmas tree? I love it! Though we need way more ornaments, though I prolly have more than the average person it seems like not enough compared to what I'm used to at my parents house.
tinypliny - 12/14/11 07:48
Did you sell the ornament deficit then at your historic garage sale?

mini vaca
I have the next 5 days off of work! After working so much lately it is going to feel so good. But what will I do with myself? I made a list of things I want to do /get done and it is over a page long so I got plenty to do from organing my photos into albums to decorating to getting a tree to price comparing to christmas cards to cleaning out the closet. Plus hopefully some good times like going out to lunches and out at night and not having to worry about working! YAY! But really it is so nice to just have all these days and have no real set plan> I could just do nothing for 5 days if I wanted and it feels so good!
tinypliny - 12/07/11 12:42
What are "Santa hands" - like turkey palms but with santa hats?
bean - 12/07/11 11:20
I hope making Santa Hands with me is on that list! ;) Have an awesome 5 days, Mike!!!
tinypliny - 12/07/11 03:28
% I could just do nothing for 5 days
Wow, I feel happy for you!! It is a precious feeling and I think I have lost it somewhere permanently.

I don't know when it was last that I felt I could do that. I am consumed by guilt and worry and getting back to work by around 12 hours of not working. And I end up doing that regardless of where I am and what I have been doing. :/
