My typical day

I was g-chatting with Necie and I asked her to describe her typical day in HK. I like hearing about these little nuiances. So I decided to describe my typical day and share it all with you:

- Alarm rings and I snooze until 7am. I then turn on 680 and continue to lay on the bed, trying to wake myself up. - Finally go and shower at 7:16 (after the sports report)
- Run out of the house and catch the street car to the subway. Get to work around 8:30.
- Then I make breakfast and hang around the kitchen, chatting with co-workers about the TV shows on the night before. Lots to chat about on Thurdays, because Top model was on the night before!
- Work until 11:30 or so. Call the Boy to see how his morning was.
- Begin chats around the office on where and what we should do for lunch. If someone feels icky and wants to eat a salad, we all usually go with them. Because we all start feeling guilty that we've not gotten enough veggies lately either. This happens about once a week. However, if one of us wants junk (usually McD's or BK), we all join in to support them, too. Can't eat crappy all by yourself. This happens about once a week. In between I make my lunch to save cash. Today is a salad day, to make up for fish and chips yesterday.
- We currently are back to watching the Cosby show at lunch. Family Feud stopped because we don't like the new host (Peterman from Seinfeld). Sometimes we watch decoration shows (only if my boss got the remote first). Still wish BH90210 would play at lunchtime. That would be Brilliant!
- Work again for the rest of the afternoon. Call the Boy. G-chat with GJ. Email weird things I've found surfing on the net (which I do between projects).
- 5pm we all start gauging the temperature in the office. We start walking around asking, 'are you leaving soon?'. At this point I'll know if I can leave at 5:30 or if this will be a 6:30 night. Lukily, I know in advance if an 8pm night is looming.
- Head home after calling the Boy to see when he is leaving. Not sure why we do this, especially since we don't always see each other after work. Doesn't mean I'll stop doing it though. Just one of things that doesn't make sense, but I like it anyway.
- Read on the subway ride home - currently reading 'Nasty Bits' from Anthony Bourdain. He's a chef from NYC that now travels the world and eats weird things. Loved 'Kitchen Confidential' more.
- Get home and I will either work out (JJ comes over once a week and we work out together), pack and head to the Boy's (he makes me dinner!), stay in and make dinner (for me, the Boy and Ding) or go out for dinner. I do each at least once a week.
- If I stay in, I search for something to watch while I make dinner. Can't make dinner if TV isn't on. If there's nothing, I'll put in a DVD. Lately, I've been watching Golden Girls episodes on DVD. Yes, I have all seven seasons on DVD.
- eat dinner and then contemplate cleaning the condo.
- eventually, Ding, the Boy and sometimes Dub will head over. Usually the four of us will be at my condo on Thursdays - CSI night!
- debate cleaning the condo again, but usually end up on facebook.
- get ready for bed while watching some sex and the city. but just before getting into bed, swear that the next night I will for sure do laundry AND dust AND vacuum. Will usually clean up /straighten up one area while before I go to bed because I feel guilty. And then I transfer my clothes from the bed to the floor and go to sleep.

And that's my typical day.
