Good Intentions

I totally had good intentions to come up and post for the 10th, but then went to bed and didn't realize today that I hadn't filled you in dear blog, for Tuesday, the 10th day of Advent.

My typical morning starts off around 6 a.m or earlier depending on when I wake up and can't go back to sleep, and that may be at 3:30.   During the days of Advents, I start by making coffee with the Door County Advent (a different flavor/pot every day). 

 Lucky coffee drinker that I am, I have a different coffee cup for the first 25 days of December.  Yesterday's was this cute little crystal cup with a holiday cottage on it.  It was a gift from one of my staff from my working days, and as I recall, it came with holiday candies it.

Yesterday's coffee was also Cherry Creme.  It smelled just like you would think it would, I just wasn't a fan, so this would not be one that I would have to have a whole bag of.

While I'm having that first pot of coffee, I turn on You Tube and find a nice holiday scene, with more times than not, a fire going on the screen and some nice early morning music.  At the same time, I usually work on the stripe of the day from the Woolens and Nosh Advent, open the swap of four and

wait for the clue of the day or other fun update for Gnana's Visit, a mystery KAL that is supposed to keep us guessing, which has!

This morning, the routine was pretty much the same, except

I decided to make it a Me Morning, and knit on something besides an Advent, so I knit a bit on my Riptide Slipover, watching it do a bit of flurrying outside, 

I still made my coffee, checked out to see what yarn awaited me for the Swap of 4 Advent, and saw that there wasn't any knitting on the gnome, which I pretty well expected.  The cup of the day was a mug that my Mom collected for me, back in the day at Arby's.  Not only do I have a mug, also, some wine goblets, champagne glasses and stay tuned later in Advent for the pedestal cup, all with the same design, poinsettias and gold rimmed.

In the end, it has been just a good day of kicking back and enjoying my Me Day!
