My bladder or maybe the birds woke me up at 5:45am on this fine Saturday morning, but upon returning to bed (giddily so) I was surprised to find that my mind was awake (and singing an Indigo Girls song) and that I sneezed repeatedly (either I'm getting Whitney's cold or I developed an allergy over night).
I always say that I wish I was an early riser, but I didn't mean today! Ha. After sneezing 4 more times I decided to get up, so here I am semi-voluntarily awake at 6:00am on a Saturday...so this is what dawn looks like, who knew?
What to do, what to do? I've got cookies to bake for church tomorrow (Father's Day treat), Sharing Time to work on (again!), books to read, shows to watch, a walk to take, Betsy to talk to at 8:00, a potato dish to prepare and on and on.
Updated at 9:20am to add: I'm a fraud. I'm not an early riser, I was a victim of sleep interuptus not finishedus. I blogged for awhile, drank my instant breakfast, then laid down on the couch to read until Betsy called. She didn't call! I just woke up and it's 9:20am!
**Would you have gotten up?
What would you do with this time?
Are you an early riser?**

Comment Window Tidbit: I think 5 parenthetical asides in one small, 3 paragraph post may be a record for me, but I love them so (I really do).

Good morning fellow early riser! The birds and sun woke me up at 3:58. I LOVE early morning hours....especially because no one else wants them so they are so quiet and nice.
First I wrote a blog post (blogging takes me a long time) and now I am going jogging (a benefit of early jogging is no snakes on the road) and then I have to go to an all day meeting.
However, I don't last too late at night. Come 8:00-ish I start wilting. Beware you may wilt tonight earlier than you'd like.
(I, too, love parenthtical phrases.)
The sun woke me at 5 today.I get so much done in the a.m. when all is quiet!
You are so funny!
I hate when I wake up, then fall back to sleep- because I am almost always more tired than before...
No I don't think I am an early riser, but I guess compared to some I am...
sounds like you have a busy day- I hope it's a GREAT one friend :)
i love getting up early and getting a start on the day, especially when it's light out.
You should never sit down to read, it will get you ever time.
So that's why you emailed me at 6:22! I was shocked. I'm sure I would have read and fallen back to sleep as well. I woke up at 6:00 because of the birds and then tried to sleep until Eva woke up at 7:00.
I hope you don't have Whitney's cold!
I adore parenthetical asides and use them liberally.
Hey! I baked cookies today for the Father's Day treat for church.
I love the early morning.
I always think I am up...and then fall back to sleep. I can't help it. I have one of those beds that just calls you back to it. Lucky me.
This made me laugh! I too have had midmorning (or really early-ish morning)naps. Way to be.
This post was just hilarious!
I'm not an early morning person either, but am forced to try to be so! I get too involved in "things" late at night (as this comment attests) and then reap the horrors of late nights the next morning...it's 6:00am for me every day but Sunday, when I relish in no alarm due to afternoon church.
You're too funny. And now, goodnight!
I am certainly a Morning person for sure
Sharing time just never goes away, you turn around and it's time for another one.
The men in your ward were lucky to get home baked cookies - our's got Dad's oatmeal chocolate chip.
hahahahha!
I'm not an early riser--so when I do have to wake early, I'm just a ticked off mess. Don't talk to me before 9:00!
I love that you fell back asleep. This whole thing is so funny.
You know, early mornings are magical. It's the best time of the day.
Couch sleeping is also magical, though.
