early riser...

Here I sit at 5:54am on a Saturday, wide awake and charged to start my day.  I've been awake since before 5 but layed in bed hoping that perhaps I could fall back asleep until like 7 or 8.  You know, a "normal" time to rise out of bed on the weekend, but no...  It wasn't gonna happen.  So I'm up, coffee made, laundry running, making my plan for the day.  I like being a morning person in that by waking up early on a day off I have that many more hours to accomplish the things I'd like to get done but on the flip side, I'm passing out on the couch at 8 at night.  Ahhh, what's a girl to do.  I guess I'll go drink some coffee and offer a toast to all the "normal" people still sleeping in their beds!!!!

I FINALLY did it!!!

Yes, yes, I have finally taken the time to sit down and create a blog.  I must say my motivation is not purely to keep my family informed of our latest "guffaws" but to get something for free!!!!  My dear friend Megan informed me that Shutterfly (my newfound favorite photo website) is offering 50 free photo christmas cards to bloggers in return for a blog about which card of theirs you like the best and I just couldn't resist. 

So with that, let the "blogging" (can somebody please explain what how that word came to be!!?) of my life begin!!!  (ummm, I'll start tomorrow ok?  I've got a lot of decorating to do today!)  Ciao, ciao!
