Top O'the Day to YOU!



Good morn! This is us. We’re starting off this morning at 5:35 am. We’ve been up for a while and have just gotten out of the shower. See we’re setting up for a good day of work. :) We’re going to do this. Kitties have been here and have by now gone back to the bedrooms for some heavy duty snoozing. I couldn’t tell you why they choose front or back bedrooms at any particular time. They do … sometimes sleeping alone, sometimes together, and sometimes Missy will hide. Not usually Chief … he’s pretty adamant of always having top spot on any bed he chooses. Or sometimes they will choose living room furniture. I figure they have pretty comfy cozy life.

By the way … Happy St. Patty’s Day. Hmm, better have a tribute to the day … hold on.



There you go! That wasn’t too hard. Much easier for example than writing a paper.

Ok, Shhhh. Let’s not be crabby now. It’s St. Paddy’s Day and if we do a real good job, we’ll be snugglin with our Sweetie Pie this evening. Can’t go wrong there ;)

Ok, deep breath … I’m not sure who all is up, but we need to focus here specifically on doing what we have got to do. Let’s say we start in 14 minutes and we should set the timer too, k? No chance for error today. Good, that is done … That will be a sharp 6 am start. Ok, better budget some time then. Let’s say sweetie is going to be here by 5 pm … he said maybe around that time, but we’ll have to find that out later … he’s got 3 games to do today and they start at noon. I think he’s going to be pretty tired. We better plan on being in a good mood. Ok, done deal!

To do that though … we’ll have to be on time. 6 am – 5 pm … I count that as 10 hours … good for you? Whoops sorry 11 hours. That means to me that we have to do two five hour papers and we get an hour off for lunch. Then if we stay in time we’re off by 5 pm and we yooohooo party the rest of the night. Ok, he’s probably going to be putting us to bed by 8 or 9, but you get the idea.

We know we need about a half hour to edit at the end of a paper, we need let’s say 2 ½ hours to write the paper … that will leave 2 hours to do the research. Sounds decent let’s do the math.

6:00 – 8:00 am research
8:00 - 10:30 am write the 1rst paper
10:30 – 11:00 am revise
11:00 – 12:00 am lunch break
12:00 – 2:00 pm research
2:00 - 4:30 pm write the 2nd paper
4:30 – 5:00 pm revise
5:00 – 9:00 smoochie face

Ok, that’s just the way it’s got to be. And, then we need to try the same thing tomorrow … the reward is that if we’re on time, we’ll get to write a note to Dr. ... at the end to let her know how much we appreciated her and the course. It’s really been a good one with the exception of being late and not commenting as much as we would like. We have to be on-time to do that. AND, don’t forget to check out the books for next semester. Let’s hope we don’t have to order new. AND, we have to finish our paper AND we have to register for new financing. K? You know … it’s all gotta happen, AND we need to check the start date of the new semester. It would be nice to get us off probation before we apply for financial aid … sure be nice?

Wouldn’t it?

Ok, we’re going to post these first few thoughts, and then continue another post for the latter part of our morning and day. Want to get our Happy St. Paddy’s out there. We’re meaning that exactly YOU should be having quite the green day!

Lucky Smooch!
