Happy New Year

This morning I fulfilled my husband's new year's wish -- I stayed in bed and slept in until after 10.
See, I'm kind of a morning person. I'm rarely still in bed after 6 a.m. My husband works evenings, so he's rarely in bed before 2 a.m.
I think the mornings are for accomplishing things and he thinks the mornings are for sleeping.
I will have to admit that I woke up and thought of the things I could be getting done -- taking down Christmas decorations, baking cinnamon rolls, preparing for my classes this week, reading a good book, walking to Caribou for coffee. Then I rolled over and did none of those things.
Sometimes the thing to accomplish is to go back to sleep and start the year off cuddled in bed with the one you love.
How about you? Did you sleep in or did you accomplish something this morning?

Wow 10 that is really late! I got up early called my mom then headed back to bed to sleep some more and cuddle too. I guess New Years Day is the day to sleep in.

We stayed up until 12:10am to watch the ball drop and then hit the sheets. That too (2) cups of coffee to stay awake after dinner and a bottle of wine...LOL (Up at 7:15 this morning)

Hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you.
