What are your daily preparation rituals?

conorlechance

However, I apply an icepack to my face every morning after my shower, do any of you have any preperation rituals for the day ahead of you?

that must look pretty funny in the office

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I get the BEE references.
I know stuff.

Turd Ferguson

When I wake up, I get up and go into the shower. In the shower I have a ritual called ‘terminator’. I crouch in the shower in the “naked terminator” pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Every morning I wake up after about 5 hours of dodgy sleep, thinking of how unemployed people are so lucky getting a sleep in. :pac:

When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be,I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you,When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you...... Like every other elite stalkers routine

Sleipnir

Well he may have meant that he;
"packs a foot-long in the pants"

but he could easily have meant
"packs a foot, long in the pants"
which begs the question where does he get the foot, and how do you pack it "long"

In either case though, I think we can all agree that soon-to-be Mrs. Snyper is indeed a very, very lucky lady!

Stercus Accidit

I take a swig of whiskey in the morning, leap out of bed fully dressed and stagger out into the light before my head is fully awake or my eyes fully adjusted, then I start to run, ensuring that by the time I am awake, I am drunk, dressed, and moving towards my unknown goal for the day.

I free run where possible, and pick up speed leaping objects and making great time.

By the time I reach my rocket cycle's hiding spot on the edge of a cliff over looking the jungle, I will have karate kicked 7 servants of the man into the next world.

Kayaii!

My gamma helmet materialises on my head, and my gamma leather rocket cycle suit on my torso. Ha Ha ha! It is on backwards, I cross my arms and shout Yakaii! It materialises the right way round, I leap onto the cycle, it greets me 'greatings admiral space ranger Zap Flashion, calibrating G stabalisation and I twist the electro throttle to full maximisation before the G stabalisation kicks in, giving me 30 seconds of free thrust to push the rocket cycles performance into the danger zone.

I exit the atmosphere and head towards the sun, where I have a ****, wake up fully, get dressed, brush my teeth grab my college gear and go in to continue my project.

Daily preparation rituals rarely have anything to do with fashion or appearance.

Am I the only one who wakes with a snort to jam on a random assortment of clothes, wipe the face with a damp rag, brush the pearly whites and charge out the door?

My personal best is 8 minutes.

I wake up, hit the snooze button, hit the snooze button, hit the snooze button. Listen to Morning Ireland whilst half asleep, taking in bits of what they're wittering on about in between snoozes. Spend the rest of the day wondering did I hear stuff about swine flu

My morning ritual consists of waking at eight, telling my alarm to go away, going back to sleep for a further fifteen minutes, waking up realising the time, turning on music (AC/DC at the moment) putting my pants on backward at least twice, brushing my teeth, eating a bowl of porridge, and out the gap.

My personal best is 6 minutes.

NewFrockTuesday

Alarm fires off at 6.30 and its always a "will I snooze for 10 mins or win I get up and actually not be tripping over myself in my hurry" 5 second debate until I cant bear the screeching anymore. I lean half way out of the bed, balance myself with one arm off the floor grab the phone off the rad and 9/10, press snooze and bear down onthe arm to give the momentum to reverse back under the duvet.

Then I bleary my way out of bed, quick dunk and grope the dressing gown off the back of the bathroom door and stumble down the stairs avoiding the death trap dancing of my psyco cat. He tries many times from there till I lash half a tin of foul smelling muck into his bowl to kill me by weaving in and around my legs and attaching the belt on the gown. So far I have resisted the temptation to root him halfway across the kitchen with a slippered kick to his fat furry behind.

Then its kettle on, plug in iron and brush teeth at the kitchen sink till the kettle boils and with toothbrush still buzzing away clenched between teeth (its an art I have perfected to avoid the lave toothpaste dribble) I make a pot of coofee. It will be brewed exactly by the time I iron whatever I haul out of the over flowing clothes basket that has been sitting onthe couch for the last two (at least) months. And I will curse myself continually for being too lazy to pull out the ironing board last night.

Clothes draped over one arm and coffee in the other hand, its upstairs (trying not to spill - Tip - never ever get beige carpet on your stairs, I know this from bitter experience) to get dressed and turn on the radio and half listen to whatever theyre waffling on about today while I look for lines and smudge my eyeliner, trowel on patchy foundation and try to straighten the wavy mess that has become my hair overnight. I give up after burnng my face one time too many and tie it back.

I always manage to lose whatever ear rings I want to wear on this day so a frantic hunt ensues and I have to find them cos Ive just wresteled on the big necklace that goes with them and it will take too long to take off. No sign. Decide to admit defeat and take off necklace....find earrings...locate necklace 3 mins later under the towels that have made my ass damp from sitting on them putting on my shoes. Tear downstairs, remember handbag is upstairs so back up...down...phone...************...up again....down....run across kitchen.....cat attack! Sucker punch cat and out the door pulling on jacket, rooting for change for the bus and realising Im going to be late for work...again.

The above is a good day and can be managed in just over an hour. I dont know if Im just incredibly unorganised or if this is the norm? Please tell me there are more of me out there?

Hit snooze, hit snooze again, hit snooze again, realise my bus is coming in 10 minutes, wash, dress, grab backpack and run.

I don't like mornings or effort.

Riddle101

lol at the people trying to act cool by saying they exercise in the morning. Only joking.

The only rituals i have is that I say f**k a hundred times when getting up because it helps me to remember about how sh*t the world is and all the sh*t i'll have to do that day.

I also compain to myself about how waking up is the worst part of the day and that I wish I could stop time.

pretty much the same, except for if im in a good mood my last 9 minutes of a series of 4 from snooze, i snuggle into my misters armpit. it helps me realise that dealing with difficult customers isnt all that bad
