If mornings made a sound, I imagine it would be: Wah-Wah

I am not a morning person.  Those of you who've read all my blog entries probably realized that when I put getting up before a double digit time was one of my daily goals, and those of you who know me well know to wait a couple of hours after I wake up to bother trying to talk to me at all (unless of course you come bearing white hot chocolate, or I'm listening to music and cooking you breakfast which tends to automatically put me in a better mood.)
The worst part about not being a morning person on dreary days like this is that little voice inside my head that tells me things like, "It's still early if it's dark outside.  Your alarm clock must be lying to you, just stay in your bed where it's warm and cozy, and day dream for awhile longer".  That particular voice is responsible for my not getting up for a full hour after my first alarm today.  (You'll be proud to know that it was only 9:15 though so I'm doing fairly well on that part of my goal.)
So after finally ignoring that voice, and listening to the rational one that felt the need to remind me I had a lot to do today, I got up, did my morning bible read and checked all of the appropriate social networking sites and my favourite blog, and here I am right now... technically still procrastinating, but I am out of bed... and in my chair, but that's beside the point, you know if there is a point to this whole story. 
My grumbling stomach is now trying to convince me that the point would be to go eat breakfast so I can start on my to do list today.  The list isn't necessarily very long, but it is mildly time consuming.  After finally eating in a few minutes (I'm leaning towards the toaster strudels again today, although the idea of brown sugar mini-wheats with hot milk also sounds delicious), I need to put on my basement work clothes and go start my attack on cleaning the fridge downstairs and the extra stove (which is still up for grabs for anyone who would like it, or the dresser for that matter... I'll be fair with pricing I promise.)  Then Randy is eventually supposed to drop by to help with additional cleaning sometime this afternoon.  A trip to the bank eventually (after a nice long shower preferably) has to be made, and to the grocery store so I can start on some cookies.  (Baking is much less stressful than cleaning, and I find it's rather soothing to the soul... plus I am a big proponent of comfort food.)  I would love to work on finishing some editing at some point today, and then tonight I finally get to go see Footloose!  Even if I have to see it by myself, I am going.
So that's pretty much my day, if I ever manage to heed the sounds of my stomach and travel down the stairs... perhaps I should bribe myself with chocolate?  Could work.  I hope you're all having a decent morning.  To quote a favourite writer of mine: "You don't even have to get up early-although I still recommend the chocolate no matter what time you choose!"
