     wash my hair
      shave all exposed flesh
      brush my teeth
      moisturize
      powder
      pluck & perfume
  When I get up in the morning the same routine,then I have to decide what to wear,play mix and match for at least 15 min's and this is just to make a cup of coffee,am I the only one who thinks women got the short end of the stick?

Wake up , go pee.
Make coffee and then pee again.
Drink coffee while reading e-mails and forum, then pee again.
Walk dogs,then pee again.
Have second cup of coffee while cleaning kitchen. ( I must wipe down everything every morning) OCD  also dust mop floors and dust.
Have 10 HOT FLASHES, pee again. Then shower. Have another HOT FLASH, wind up all sweaty again,think about taking shower again.  
Then I'm off to aggravate the world !

GTMI:  What on earth could you want for excitement in your morning routine? LOL...You want to discover a cure for something in-between your coffee and shave?

Wake up.6:30-7:30.yes, go potty.
Walk down stairs to the espresso machine. Pull 4 shots, add water and drink it down while checking emails.
Say Hi to my wife. Ask her how long she's been up.(Usually 2-3hrs)
Chit chat a bit, get ready for work..wash, shave, brush, dress.
Go back downstairs and make a protein shake. Take Rxs and supplements and kisss the wife, say bye to the dog and off to work.

Sounds really boring, I guess I need a change in my life. Can't wait to retire so I can do all of the above minus going to work. Hmm still sounds boring, must be time for a Cruise or something.

Morning (or whenever I wake up):

*     Pee, wash hands
*     Make and drink two 20 oz. cups of coffee & eat a cup of yogurt and 2 pieces of cinnamon bread.
*     Wash glasses and wedding rings
*     Brush teeth
*     Shower w/ hair wash and conditioner, wash face once with one kind of soap, then     finish shower with another face wash with a different kind of soap....shave, not everyday.
*     Deodorant
*     Pluck, not everyday
*     Get dressed (usually a pair of jeans, and a t-shirt...and always earrings, sometimes bracelet, a watch, and another ring besides my wedding set...usually Converse sneakers)
*     Comb hair & dry...about 5 minutes
*     Moisturize & SPF my face (it's all in one)
*     Put on glasses
*     Put on lipstick and blot 4 times, lol ....SOMETIMES put on full face
All of this can be done within 30 minutes (without the eating and coffee drinking included)

Evening:

*     Take off bra
*     Put on sleep pants (often sleep in same t-shirt I wore during day)
*     IF I put on makeup wash my face and then moisturize/SPF

My routine is simple, just like us guys, all in th morning, all on auto pilot,

Pee, shower, shave, brush teeth, iron clothes, get dressed, feed and let out the dogs, let them back in, fix coffee, grab my briefcase and head for the door.

We seem to be talking like hubby's program is a bad thing.......whats with that?  And why cant you just hit the door in the same sweats you slept in?  Dont overcomplicate the mens lives...........

[snowflake620]

The only make up I wear is mascara but that takes forever and I do keep my nails and toenails painted,since I don't work I kinda stay housefrumpy most of the time but the grooming routine never changes.

When I worked in an office it took me hours to get ready for work. I would blow dry hair and hot roll it every morning. Pluck, shave and apply make-up. The works. lol   The past 12 years since I started painting, I don't put on make-up or even blow dry my hair.  I shower and throw on paint clothes and I'm off.  No sense in the make-up, because I get so dirty and sweaty.  I really do miss being a girl. LMAO   I loved always having my nails done etc.

[lovemypillhead]

haha.  that's men vs women no doubt!  

i hear ya....my routine is so tiring. i do all that u do as well....plus, give my son a bath, feed him (which takes forever because he apparently likes to savor each bite of food), find him a clean sleeper (which takes a lifetime because i never have time to do laundry), lotion him up from head to toe, make a bottle and give him that!  

List goes on and on and on!  

Having a baby is the best exercise ever!  Seriously....i weigh less now than i ever have because all i do is run around like a psycho!
