I hate Mondays

It is Monday, and of note, I really don't dislike Mondays. What I hate is the lack of sleep from the prior weekend. Not like I do anything exciting like partying till all hours of the night, but I must say a good night's sleep is like gold, like warm chocolate drizzled over a delectable chocolate chip cookie or a fresh Jamba Juice on an especially hot day....you know what I mean. The best is when you lay on your pillow and everything falls into place and you sink into the mattress like it is made for your body and sleep hits you like a ball to the mitt.
I climbed into bed last night at 8 and didn't get out of bed until 10 this morning, not bad.
debbie, I wish I had more exciting things going on in my life, but I just do not. I had 'snoot loops' for breakfast but I did do something out of the ordinary:
I always am complaining about the utter state of my thighs, bum, waist, body in general and yet I do nothing about it and continue to eat my treats. Well today I got on the exercise bike I bought and "rode" for 20 minutes on the lowest settings, didn't wipe me out, but for a leisure ride I felt the burn. oh did I feel it.

I have my headphones on and am listening to Jack Johnson, it is great, I feel happier all ready. I love music.

upside down....I don't want this feeling to go away..... mmmm ....mmmm m

I think I will go eat some yurrrgurt.
