I love it when I feel like I have accomplished something before most people have crawled out from under the covers. Perhaps do some shopping and have lunch with my mom. Then I would love to reorganize my room. Sometimes life gets so hectic during the week that it needs a day's attention. Take an afternoon nap. Spend some time with my cat, and then go to dinner and a movie with friends. Snuggle into bed with a book, and fall asleep" ...
