pine, parade, planet fitness...

Good morning b & b fans, it's Sue again on a sunny Sunday morning.

All is fairly quiet here at the O'Rourke household. Katie, our 12-year-old is still sleeping of course as she has adopted the sleep patterns of a teenager. Yeah, already. Emma, our 10-year-old is up and kicking, already bouncing off the walls. We put up our tree yesterday and began decorating the house so it was so awesome to walk downstairs and smell the pine. I love nothing better than to put on the lights in the early morning and read the Sunday paper over that first cup of coffee, which by the way, always tastes better than any subsequent cups, why is that?

Today I plan to go shopping with a good friend of mine and then we are off to the Santa parade and tree lighting here in Newburyport, MA. Like I said in yesterday's post, I'm feeling it this year. I think the combo of the b & b project and a close call with breast cancer earlier in the year have given me a bit of a wake up call. A much needed one by the way. First, I must go to the gym even though I don't have a single exercise gene in my entire body. I wish that could be wrapped up like a gift but I don't think it works that way. Must muster up the energy and make myself go, it's definitely a struggle. Tom, on the other hand, works out about 6 times a week and enjoys it. All I can say to that is...really? Really?

Oh, I posted one of my favorite pictures of our family in NYC last year after the Macy's parade. Okay,off to Planet Fitness (groan).
