Seven More "Wake Ups" for Me!!

 


Mornings are certainly not my favorite time of the day.  Each work day John makes my favorite substance (coffee) and tries to lure me out of bed with a steaming cup.

 

My favorite comic strip is Maxine.  She feels much the same way I do about coffee.  One of my favorite quotes of hers is "ever feel like you have had too much coffee?  Me neither. "  Here's another favorite  "have a favorite coffee flavor?  HOT!"






My morning ritual usually involves having to receive several get out of bed reminders.  John, on the other hand, is just the opposite.  He gets up with the first alarm and is ready to go.  Not me.  For me, the perfect morning is getting up slowly, drinking a cup of coffee, watching the Today Show or reading by favorite blogs.  I'm looking forward to those times being Monday - Friday, rather than just on the weekends.

I'm especially happy today.  There are only seven more "wake ups".  My last day of work is Friday, October 29th.  From that  day forward, I can get up when I want to, rather than have it be imposed by  my work schedule.  Wow! Life is good!

Rememberance collage

After reading Rick and Paulette's blog today, I've decided to try making a collage.  Rick stated this was a very difficult time to be a blogger and  he was struggling with today's post.   He said Margie always enjoyed learning new techniques and he thought she would like his lesson today.  He demonstrated how to build a collage using Picassa.  Click on his link above for the step by step  instruction.

Mike and Gerri created three in honor of Margie.  They are really beautiful.  So, I decided to try to put one together.  What should I use for a subject?  Right now we are not traveling and do not have any new pictures to share.  So, I searched in Google Images using words and thoughts for some pictures (for example loss, sorrow).  Try one yourself.  Thanks Rick!
