The Morning Routine

It’s 10:00am and I just finished up my morning routine… Actually I finished it about an hour ago but its one of those days where I’m not in the best mood to work or work full heartedly so I repeated my routine twice.  My company is lucky to have me ;)   Ever since being in Kuwait, I have developed a no fail routine that keeps me quite happy during the week.  Here’s how my morning routine looks:

  1. First Alarm goes off at 6:50am …. Snooze
  2. Second Alarm goes off at 6:55am….Snooze
  3. Third Alarm goes off at 7:00am… Usually I wake up at this point (if I’m lucky)
  4. Get ready, grab an orange juice out of the fridge and leave for work at around 7:35am
  5. Get to work at around 8:15am, order the regular Turkish Coffee (with little sugar), water and a glass of ice 
  6. Check my work mails
  7. Check my personal mails
  8. Check my facebook
  9. Check my blog
  10. Check my feeds
  11. Chat with FONZY and Angel
  12. Talk to Hanx
  13. Start work at around 9:00am

The routine is something I’m very comfortable with and have grown used to.  Yeah sometimes I add some extra spice into it (like maybe i’ll get Dunkin Donuts coffee instead of the regular) but my morning routine is quite consistent and organized.  I find it really interesting to see how people create their own routines for daily life and how different they can be from the next person.

The Divorce Party

Yesterday, I attended my first Divorce Party.  Not sure what to expect, I tested the idea out on a couple of people and this concept is definitly still new and quite controversial.  Although after looking it up on the net, it seems to be the newest type of party to gain popularity.  I even found a book entitled “How to Throw a Divorce Party”. 

Anyway back to the subject at hand… My best friend (the divorcee who I might add absolutely deserved that party) invited 10 of her best friends to a trendy restaurant, brought her cute little pink paper stamped by the Government and wore her best dress.  The topic of the night as you may guess was “how shitty men can be”. I probably shouldn’t be making this info public but come on you guys… Girls talk about that stuff whether they are at a party or not.  Plus you guys aren’t much better ;)

I was the only Single/ Not married / Not divorced person there so I had a lot of stories and advice to learn from.  What astounds me is that these were such lovely and interesting women, yet some were divorced twice or just getting divorced or separated and trying everything to get the divorce.  Some were after 10 years and some after 20 years of marriage.  I don’t know the exact story for all of these women but I couldn’t imagine the feeling of leaving your lifelong companion after 20 years. 

I hope I never reach the stage where I’ll be considering a divorce party but it was definitly an occasion worth attending.
