Hey there adoring fans (Vaden)!

Now that I’ve organized my schedule (and retired my shot girl short-shorts) to where the first time in my life, I don’t work after 7pm, I’m baffled at why I’m still staying up so late every night?  A tip I took from The Happiness Project (great book…click the link if yo interesante in it) the author mentions how going to bed earlier every night made her happier and more productive.  Well, I want to be happier and more productive, but going to bed early at night hasn’t been possible and I couldn’t figure out why?  Then it hit me.  It’s all due to a little thing I call the cereal vortex...

The Cereal Vortex

Mmmm…I think I’ll have a bowl of cereal.

now I’ll just add some milk.

Delicious!

Oh no! I have all this milk left and I don’t want it to go to waste…

I’ll just add a tiny bit more cereal…

Whoops, too much!  Darn. I’ll just have to add a tiny bit more milk…

Yum.

That 2nd bowl was equally as delicious…there’s still some milk left at the bottom…and children starving in China….what to do?

And this, ladies and gentlemen…

is how we slip into the cereal vortex…

4 bowls later…

We’re all familiar with the vicious cycle of the cereal vortex.  Sure, you might never leave your apartment on time, and may have to buy some elastic waistband trousers, but all in all the consequences are quite mild.   The more ferocious vortex to look out for is the wine/tv vortex…

The Wine/Tv Vortex

Ahhh, just a glass of wine before bed while I watch that DVR’d episode of Saturday Night Live… 

Huh, I actually liked the musical guest for once…

aww nuts, out of wine…

We’re only on weekend update?

Just a teensy bit more to finish out the episode…

I can’t believe Seth Meyers is leaving…what a doll!  I’m still on the fence about this Cecily situation…bring back Tina and Amy!

And then the episode ends and you still have a half of a glass of wine left.

What to do?

You check the DVR.

And decide to re-watch Modern Family.  It was great the first time around, so it should be even better the second time around…

Aww crap, I just finished my wine and there’s still 10 minutes left…

Don’t judge me.

Dag-nabit!  These 30 minute shlows go by fast when you can sklip the commersals…  I still have a half of a glass of wine left (hiccup).  Luckily there’s a snew Parenthood on RIGHT NOW!

Oh, come on NBC!  Joe would SNOT leave Julia!  Snot after they pladopted that little Mexican!  Ay! Ay! Ay! I can’t take this…

and nowmy glass is emptly.

just in time for the 2:00 news…
