The Unrealistic Morningtime

Wondering what the "Unrealistic Morningtime" is? Let me explain: so you know how you'll be watching a movie or reading a book and the characters in the story seem to have a copious amount of time in the morning? I can't decide if it cracks me up or annoys me. Probably both. But you do know what I'm talking about. You'll be watching some cute romantic comedy and everyone seems to have time to be fully dressed (and looking ridiculously fabulous, of course), eat a very decent breakfast (sometimes even sitting down at an actual table) and solve 12 or 13 major relational problems all before work/school/apparently 8:00 a.m. To me, this is so unbelievably improbable. I never, ever, ever have a morningtime like this. My morningtimes consist of the bare hygienic essentials, most of the time zero food and maybe twice in my life problem solving (and by "problem" I mean having no pencil lead or getting shampoo in my eye.)

I was particularly lamenting the unrealisticness of this Unrealistic Morningtime the other day as I woke up 35ish minutes before my first class and dressed so fast that I forgot to check if the day's weather would require socks (it did but I unfortunately didn't wear any), the whole time silently wishing the Unrealistic Morningtime were, in fact, attainable. As I my thoughts got the better of my attention during that 8 a.m. class period, I found myself dreaming of how I would use my Unrealistic Morningtime...

1.) There would, of course, be croissants and coffee. Essential for a perfect morning.

2.) Some light reading. For me, it's currently "Oranges" by John McPhee.

3.) A really fun outfit and some really great hair.

4.) Some time for crafty things.

5.) And maybe some singing. Come on, it's the Unrealistic Morningtime. Anything can happen.

The Unrealistic Morningtime is just that: unrealistic. But, truth be told, I should stop complaining and be thankful I have mornings at all.

Happy, happy weekend and long live the Unrealistic Morningtime.
