We had ordered a bed for the babies and I asked the deliveryman when it would be delivered. He said, "First thing in the morning."
I asked, "What's your definition of first thing in the morning?"
He replied, " Around 10:30."
And I said, "Oh good. That's my definition too!"
So what's your idea of first thing in the morning?
You are going to cringe here. My definition of first thing in the morning is well before first light. It is a late start for me if I get up after five.
ReplyDeleteMy partner on the other hand given his druthers gets up at the crack of noon. Or later.
You have my utmost admiration, EC. I like getting up that early and enjoying the quiet of the morning, but normally I'm worthless the rest of the day, if I get up that early.
DeleteWhen I wake up, which is mostly early, and not from choice, I just can't sleep! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteDon't ya hate that? Hope while you are sleeping it's good, deep sleep.
DeleteI always seem to awken at 5am and it's still dark.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thursday.
Yvonne.
That's a little early for me.
DeleteI guess "first thing in the morning" to me means when I wake. During summer I usually wake around 5 am, on a "normal" morning that will be either a little before or a fraction after; and in winter probably around 6 am.; a little before or a little after...mostly the former.
ReplyDeleteAnother early riser. I go through periods when I wake--and get up--that early. But they're not the norm.
DeleteOn the weekends, it's just before noon.
ReplyDeleteI'm up before then, but I don't start doing anything productive until almost lunch.
Sounds like the HH:)
Delete9a weekdays, after 10a weekends.
ReplyDeleteSounds good:)
DeleteAround 9 I consider first thing, not that I want to be up some days
ReplyDeleteI hear ya:)
DeleteFirst thing is before 9 am and can be as early as 6 am.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like me, although nine is more my norm.
Deletefirst thing in the morning which comes in my mind whenever i open my eyes is the deep and sooo deep sense of gratefulness to my Creator, i often see things from above and the which opens its eyes slowly and then gently its heart becomes full of countless rushy moments and movements ,then i pray may all go well with all today amen
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to wake up.
DeleteYou are so smart. I would have not thought to ask what first thing in the morning was. I wake up between 5 and 6 in the morning to get the family where they need. However, 10:30 would be plenty early for a delivery. I can run around and do the morning things, eat, drink coffee, read the paper and then deal with the outside world. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteIt was self-preservation, Ann. I didn't want to still be in bed when they showed up:)
DeleteProbably around 7, but I definitely wouldn't be up by then:)
ReplyDeleteHeh:)
DeleteAbout 7 to 8 am...hard to know as so many people have different ideas about 'first thing in the morning'.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Margaret.
Delete7-8 am during the week, and 8-9 on weekends. And the, of course, there are holidays which is a whole other ball of wax :D
ReplyDeleteHi Mae,
DeleteI can remember when I worked, always being amazed when people weren't up and at 'em by 8 a.m. No more:)
Hi, dear Sandra!
ReplyDeleteIn my college years, first thing in the morning meant 12:30 in the afternoon! :) When I produced the morning TV newscast, first thing in the morning was around 2:30-3 am. In the 2000s, first thing in the morning was between 4 and 5 am. In the 2010s, first thing in the morning is whenever I feel like getting up. :)
Happy Thursday, dear friend Sandra!
The last is the best isn't it, Shady?:)
DeleteWe want to hear more about when you produced a morning TV newscast.
Hi, dear Sandra!
DeleteOver the years I produced newscasts at various times of the day including the 5 pm cast, the 6 pm cast and the 11 pm cast. For a time I also produced the morning newscast which, if I recall correctly, came on at 6 am. To get to the station early enough to gather the news, edit videotape footage, write copy for the anchor and production instructions for the director and crew, I needed to arise in the middle of the night, around 2:30-3 am as I recall. That was a tough schedule because it meant going to bed around 8 or 9 every evening. :)
I'm with you. First thing in the morning should be around 10 or 10:30 AM. Himself tells me I'm wasting daylight as he gets up at 4:30 AM. To Him, half the day is gone by 10:30
ReplyDelete4:30 AM....Isn't that still the middle of the night? grin
Delete8-9
ReplyDeleteReasonable:)
ReplyDeleteround trout towne itz 2:23 aye am...
ReplyDeletewe like ta sleep frum 6:17 aye em ta round 11: 35 pea em !!! ♥♥
Sounds good to me:)
DeleteHaha, 10:30's cool. Especially if I have to meet or see someone outside. I think I'm fresh enough by then &, mentally ready, tehe. :D
ReplyDeleteMe too:)
DeleteThat time sounds perfect to me:)
ReplyDelete:) Yes indeed.
DeleteI'm a morning person. I like getting up around 6 or 6:30.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. : )
Being a farmer, 6:00 a.m. is first thing in the morning but it used to be 5:30 a.m. I like Shady Del Knight definition of first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and thanks for leaving a comment on my blog.
