Let's Do The Time Warp Again

'E' is for 'early' - as in the time I woke up today (note the time this was posted) in order to make my 7:05 a.m. flight to Sacramento.

I was going to wake up at 5, but I can never sleep well when I have to wake up early. (I have an irrational fear of oversleeping; I actually set two alarms if I have a flight to catch.) When I woke up at 4:15, I just decided not to go back to bed.

And hey, it worked out because I was able to write my NaBloPoMo post for the day. Now all I need is some coffee.

Anonymous said...: Only two alarms? I share the same fear when traveling which sucks since you are already getting a crappy night's sleep from having to wake up early. Worrying about missing a flight makes it even more difficult to fall asleep.; 9:52 PM
City Elf said...: if i had more than two cell phones, it would be more alarms. ;)

to top it off, after a stressful night's sleep and waking up extra-early, there were mechanical issues and i ended up coming back home. i'm still tired today!; 11:59 AM

Narcissistic Nonsense

Location: I live in Pasadena, CA but originally I'm from Indiana. I've lived in Southern California for almost 16 years. Like Randy Newman, I love L.A., especially the palm trees, the skyline, and the view of the mountains after the rain. I've lived near USC, as well as in Glendale, K-town, San Diego, Westwood, and Long Beach.

Family: I grew up fairly middle-class in a Mexican-American Catholic family as the youngest of five children; I was the only one of us who who left the promised land until my oldest brother moved to Montana, of all places, a couple of months ago. I have oodles of nieces and nephews who I absolutely adore and I have the receipts from Toys R Us to prove it.

Personal: I'm a political junkie who has worked for an elected official, on a doomed presidential campaign, and for numerous non-profits. I read voraciously, almost anything I can get my hands on, but mostly blogs, food magazines, and fiction (not necessarily in that order.) I like to write but I don't do it often enough. I have a distinctive laugh and a double-jointed thumb. I am addicted to Yelp, Diet Coke, my Blackberry, red wine, and garlic.
