Re: Poll: how long does it take u to get ready in the morning for work?

I putz around in the morning, so it takes me a couple of hours. I really do waste an hour just reading online first thing in the am - emails, news feeds, blogs - then I go into the shower and it is another hour, as I am not very organized first thing in the am - I also have to pick out my clothes and iron them

Depends. If I'm showering in the morning, instead of at night - then I need about 1 hour. If not showering, I need about 45-50 minutes. If I'm flat-ironing my hair in the AM, I need a minimum of 2 hours.

Lots of hair, eh?

You'd have to see it to believe it, lol! It's thick and extremely coarse. Also, it's very long (lower back, almost butt-length) for the first time, mostly due to WEN!

Depending on how much makeup I want to wear and how much effort I want to put into my hair, I can be downstairs in 30 mins. or an hour. I don't start with my coffee, breakfast, etc. until after the furkids are fed and the dog has been out.

Too cute!!! Two of my 5 cats do this every morning.

I miss wearing a uniform to work but I don't miss waking my daughter up in the mornings!

I work in health care and wear scrubs and wash my hair at night. So, 20-25 minutes, 30 if I curl my hair instead of wearing it up. The days I work in the office, I try to work out beforehand and it takes me an hour to shower and get ready.

When I worked, I was up at 4:10 am. Out the door by 4:30. Stopped at the gas station for my cappuccino, and was at work by 4:50. I had to have the kitchen open by 5am for the cooks. Of course, everything to wear was picked out, and shower taken before bed.

I need at least an hour for making myself presentable plus quick breakfast . I would love to have 2 hours,but it is not going to happen, so 1 hour for me.
