Good morning! I don’t know about you, but I’m so happy the weekend is here. For better or worse, I’m a morning person—always have been, always will be (oh, genetics). In the past, this has proved somewhat crazy-making for people I’ve dated, so I’ve added “not worrying about waking up a sleeping boy/man/friend-thing” to the list of why being single is awesome.

One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday morning is to exercise (today included the elliptical machine and some arms & abs work) and then make a nice breakfast. Reading the paper over oatmeal and coffee never gets old for me, especially if Car Talk happens to be on the radio.  I don’t even have a car, but I love this show! I know, I know, but hey, we all have our little quirks…

What are you up to this weekend? Any favorite morning rituals?
