Good morning, everyone! How is your morning going so far? Things here are pretty good. I am enjoying a day off – four day weekends are definitely the way to go! I love mornings when I do not have to rush because they are so rare.

I slept in until 8:30 and now I am enjoying a large mug of Starbucks coffee (at home) and a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch with a banana, milk and a dash of cinnamon:

(I logged the food into the FitBit app, too)

This morning I am going to page through my new cookbook that I received yesterday. My friend Marilyn is so smart – she knew that I would love this cookbook:

I can’t wait to go through this and decide what I am going to cook first! Don’t worry – I will be sure to report back. The recipes look really great so far 🙂

As for the rest of the day, I’m hoping to go out for a nice run at some point before lunch. I also want to see if I can hook up my new Blu-Ray player (thank you!). It should be an interesting day. I’ll report back on my run and lunch later today.

Enjoy your morning, everyone – I hope you have the day off, too!
