    Sorry it won't earn anyone bingo points, but I confess that I already preemptively tracked 2 large glasses of wine that I've decided are mandatory for getting through this dinner party tonight.

    Can I just share I am an idiot.

    Last week I went to the airport without my drivers license. It worked out but seriously.
    This weekend I went home every day early from the barn to work on my dissertation. Did I? NO! I slept. So spent a long night doing updates... which made me late today.
    Then because I was running so late, I threw my clothes into a bag and ran out of the house for my flight. On way to airport I realized I forgot my cell. Turning around and getting it put me too late to check my bag. I had to move to a 4:05 pm flight.
    Which is probably now cancelled due to the weather in NJ. (ITS BARELY SNOWING!).

    It is not a good day. :(

    Lesson... don't procrastinate. Be early. Be on time. Don't be lazy. Get what you need to do done when you need to do it. Then you won't have a snowball bad day like mine is turning out to be.

    You just made me think of my kids band director: "to be early is to be on time; to be on time is to be late; to be late is to be dead." He used to drive me crazy.

    this is my philosphy

    I have very little motivation lately. I just want to sleep all the time. I will be productive the rest of today!

    You sound like me. But with 1/2 an hour to go... I am not sure there is much you could do. You have classes today? Are you US based?

    Yeah, I'm in the US. We have classes anyway :P oh well!

    Bummer. I have to work too. :)

    Aww, too bad!

    How ridiculous! Being early is usually rude if you ask me.

    I live by the 15 minute rule. I tell everyone if I don't show up after 15 minutes you can hang up. Everyone knows I am always late. I also tell people if you want me on time... lie to me and tell me to the wrong time. I agree with Lady A here... and if you are early, then you are really just wasting time.

    Now, of course, being early today would have been helpful. It saved me on the drivers license/airport issue. If I hadn't had a rare 'early' day I would never have made my flight that day.

    Haha, I tell people to tell me the wrong time too. I've trained some of my friends to do it automatically :P

    there are certain people in my life that i always tell them the wrong time, usually by 20 minutes, so then they have a chance of being on time.

    I'm also working. Hoping the ice comes and we leave early!

    On my way to the airport. They haven't cancelled the 5:30 flight yet. I don't have a lot of hope. It's snowing like crazy.

    Well, did they cancel your flight??

    Yep after 2 hours on the runway. The runway lights in Norfolk were apparently down. They finally gave up. We deplaned. Them they didn't have enough manpower to get the bags of the flight. I went home and slept for a few hours then got up and drive down. Left at 4:30 this am. So I tried for 12 hours to get down here and finally drove.

    It wasn't a bad drive although the last hour was heavy rain and with the fluctuating temp I was afraid it was going to get icy. It actually got almost humorous after a while especially after they lost my bag. Hoping it arrives today or I need to go shopping as I didn't pack another one.

    I have to do this with my husband. I think it's kinda rude to make people wait for us (I have this whole thing about not wanting to act like other people's time is less important than mine, which is kind of how I feel when I'm late) but he hates waiting for anyone and anything and so refuses to be even a minute early, because, horror, what if we have to wait for five minutes at the restaurant before our friends arrive?! Hahaha. So I have to do this thing at home where I tell him "We have to leave in an hour....we have to leave in forty-five minutes...we have to leave in half an hour" and push all those times up 15 minutes so we have a prayer of actually arriving on time.

    He's heard my rant so many times that he shows up exactly on time for work stuff at least, but social things...not so much.

    @jenwolski I love your planning for girls night, and I'm jealous by how much more fun yours sounds!

    Also, @kellyjellybellyjelly I'm totally jealous of those 8TBS, yum!

    I'm with your husband. I hate to wait. It's incredibly selfish probably but I like everything to start when I arrive or so I miss all the social niceties. But that could also be my anti-social nature. But then again.... I am not really deliberately late. I just always think I can fit in one more thing.

    Finished my book, it was good. Tho I think I would request a book that is less dark then this one for the next book. Oh well.

    I would probably drive all you insane, I'm one of those people who shows up early, or on the nose. If its for a visit, if I say 2 I mean 2, not 1:59, not 2:02. If its a doctor visit, if its the first time, its 20-30 minutes early, if its not (so paperwork is complete) then 10-15 minutes early.

    It drives my husband nuts because he's more laid back.

    My last class ended at 10:30, and for the past two hours I have been doing absolutely nothing (okay, I was watching penny dreadful, which is terrible). And now I have only half an hour before lunch, so it's not *really* worth doing anything, riiight?
    I have very little motivation lately. I just want to sleep all the time. I will be productive the rest of today!

    You sound like me. But with 1/2 an hour to go... I am not sure there is much you could do. You have classes today? Are you US based?

    Yeah, I'm in the US. We have classes anyway :P oh well!

    Bummer. I have to work too. :)

    I'm also working. Hoping the ice comes and we leave early!

    On my way to the airport. They haven't cancelled the 5:30 flight yet. I don't have a lot of hope. It's snowing like crazy.

    Well, did they cancel your flight??

    Yep after 2 hours on the runway. The runway lights in Norfolk were apparently down. They finally gave up. We deplaned. Them they didn't have enough manpower to get the bags of the flight. I went home and slept for a few hours then got up and drive down. Left at 4:30 this am. So I tried for 12 hours to get down here and finally drove.

    It wasn't a bad drive although the last hour was heavy rain and with the fluctuating temp I was afraid it was going to get icy. It actually got almost humorous after a while especially after they lost my bag. Hoping it arrives today or I need to go shopping as I didn't pack another one.

    Glad you made it!!

    Very glad! I hope they found your bag :)

    Sorry it won't earn anyone bingo points, but I confess that I already preemptively tracked 2 large glasses of wine that I've decided are mandatory for getting through this dinner party tonight.

    I am going out for a GNO tonight and have already planned out my day of eating to accomodate the wine! I'm starving! lol

    Be careful! Starving and wine is a dangerous combination!

    Oh, I plan on coupling my wine with something deliciously bad for me on their menu!

    Hmmm....must nit be your favorite dinner companions. Red or white?
    Edit: Not instead of nit. Can't type on my phone.

    Definitely red :) And they are the Jones' from the "Keeping Up with the Jones'" phrase. We are most assuredly not. I figure 2 glasses will make me forget that my house is perennially covered in dog hair/slobber and not very decorated. They really care about appearances...and I give 0 *****.

    @jenwolski I love your planning for girls night, and I'm jealous by how much more fun yours sounds!

    Also, @kellyjellybellyjelly I'm totally jealous of those 8TBS, yum!

    Ah, I see....have fun being a Smith and enjoy the wine. (my dog is black, no hiding her hair.)

    Oh I know those people! My husband and his wife fit that bill! I'm with the Smith's... ;)
