Up and At Em before 6am TWICE in the last 3 days

It's true people. This not so much a morning girl has been up, showered and out the door PRE-6am (and sunrise) in the past 3 days. And I'm still alive and awake enough to blog about it! Crazy I tell you.

The first was Saturday when Ar's alarm went off at 4:45AM... time to get up, get showers, pick up Ali and drive to the East Shore (of MD) by 6:30 to help with Bike Doctor's Century ride. Don't worry, when we stopped for gas I promptly (well as promptly as I get at say.... 5:30am) got a big ass diet coke of the fountain variety. Sure hit the spot. It really was a fun day. I got to hang out with Ar and Ali. I laid in the grass 'sunning' myself for about 15 minutes, until I got bored. We bought a loaf of french bread, turkey and cheese and made cute sandwhiches for lunch and even stopped at McDs on the way home for ice cream. Nap time started around 3 and lasted past 6pm. But when you're up before 5am... I feel like 3 hour naps are allowed.

And since Saturday was so fun -- I decided to get up at 5:40 this morning to drive to work from MD. Getting up is the worst part... but once I'm out of bed it's really not all that bad. 301 is gorgeous in the morning. And you get a perfect view of the sunrise over pretty farms and stuff. I hit traffic on the GWB... (which I would have hit had I driven in from home), but other than that my ride was really nice. Made it in like 4 hours and 20 minutes. Would have been under 4 if it weren't for the stinkin bridge!

I'm hoping to stay awake enough to go to the gym and the foodstore tonight, but I'm well aware that that may be pushing it. If nothing else... foodstore tonight. Because there is NO food in my apartment. It's really quite pitiful.

So that's the plan! Hope everyone had a good weekend!
