Sunday coffee

I know I'm not the first one up, so I must be the first one with nothing else to do!  Hey, does anyone know how to cook fresh beets?  They looked so cool at the fruit market yesterday but now they are sitting in my sink looking kind of intimidating. I'm doing housework today and that's about it.  Maybe I'll hit the gym or take the dog on a long walk. Hope you have an excellent day!

I was UP at 6:30, but didn't want to be the NERD on vacation who can't stay away from the laptop...oh, wait, that is SO me!  Anyway, I started the coffee pot and sat on the deck listening to the ocean. (Fortunately,  there are houses in the area with unsecure wireless...woo hoo!) We just got back from a walk on the beach.  A storm was blowing in as we headed back.  But blue skies are right behind it.  So we are vegging til we can hit the beach! 

Morning- I  had a crappy day yesterday but am doing good now....going on 2 hrs of sleep then working is hard..and getting home at 430am friday is horrible.  Im too old for that shi*!!! It is raining here and just have to go grocery shopping and that is it. Tina- enjoy the sun and beach! Shannon

Um....OK!  If you insist! 

I thought you'd be in Vegas with Sully by now!!  Catch up on your sleep girl!

Well, he flew me back so I could not miss the Sunday coffee post....I am well rested now...

Are you possibly the Shannon that used to work in the bariatric clinic at U of M?

Yes- I am...who are you??

You ladies are so active. I had a birthday party for my one year old yesterday. 12 kids and 18 mosquito bites, I need some rest today. Enjoy!!

Morning everyone!  i am just hangin out with the kids again today.  watching Dane Cook on youtube.
