Today there are no workers in my house -- no contractor, or electrician, or plumber or painter or tiler -- just Maddie and I. This means I was able to have a normal morning, and the older I get, the more I enjoy my routines and rituals.
My morning starts with a workout of some sort, usually a pilates type DVD, to get me up and moving. On the days I don't start this way, I usually feel stiff and sluggish, so after 9 years, I still like to start my day this way.
After that I like to have a glass of Emergen-C and a bowl of whole grain cereal with lots of blueberries and nuts or granola before I hop in the shower.
Then it's coffee time. Current love -- Intelligentsia Organic Black Cat latte made with my Rancillio Silvia -- 2% milk, one teaspoon of sugar, a touch of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
I know the workers will be back soon, but today it was a real treat to be able to indulge in my old routine.
Hey lady,,,Your coffee looks really great! How is the kitchen coming along? Please post your pictures when they are through. I know it will look amazing and I'm sure you will be glad to get back to normal.
