My Monday Morning

Good morning!  (A "good morning" full of the perk and peppiness I used to despise.) I used to wake up miserable on a Monday morning, dreading going back to work and dragging my feet.  Some times the misery even started on Sunday evening when I realized that Monday was looming like a huge grey rain cloud just around the corner.  Not anymore.  I don't mean to rub it in, but my job kind of rocks, and being a list maker, I adore my Monday mornings!  I wake up around 7:30, pour myself a giant mug of coffee (or 2 or 3), turn on some music (Joshua Radin this morning) and get to listing.  I make my to do list for the whole week broken down by either category (photography, around the house, social, etc.) or day of the week.  Sometimes it is color coded, sometimes not.  Sometimes it comes with sticky note reminders, or check boxes or different handwritten fonts.  I may spend an hour on my list...which to some people might seem over-indulgent, but if I can feel organized and in control for my week in an hour I'm a happy camper! 

This last week was especially busy and my fancy little to do lists make me more than excited to dive into this week head first!  Now after this little babble, I'm off to check some stuff off.  Happy Monday morning!  I hope you're excited for your week too.
