The Early Bird Gets to Blog

Oh, yes, it's 7:07 am and I am out of bed and blogging. I've already had a full morning and I'm rarin' to go...

ahem...

I did something this morning that I don't do very often. Rarely. Almost never. I woke up and left my house before 6 am. Yes, I did! And I can tell you with complete and positive conviction that the world does exist at 5:35 in the morning! I mean, I knew it was all there at night when I went to bed and that the next morning when I woke up ready to start my day, it was there, but I never knew for sure what happened during those hours in between.

Supposedly, our sprinklers come on at around 6 am, and at some point the people that work at Walmart, Day Lite Donuts, and Starbucks have to, you know, open their respective businesses, but I've never been around to witness it. And, honestly, I don't know what time these places open. They open before 6 am? It's still dark for pete's sake!

But I am so glad that someone at Starbucks had the wherewithall to know that the airport is up and operating before 6 am. And that all those passengers that are flying before 6 am needed someone to drive them to the airport. And that someone who is doing all the driving probably won't be awake with excitement at the thought of a fun-filled vacation before 6 am. And that on the way home from the airport, just a little after 6 am, that someone doing the driving might want to stop by and grab a little jump-start for the day, because we're still here, at home, not on vacation, going to swimming lessons.

Thank you Starbucks. It's the best cup of coffee I've ever had.
