Welcome to my new morning routine. Jay starts his new job today, which means we woke up at 5:50 a.m. so he can drink coffee, eat breakfast, work out and catch the 7:50 train downtown. When we first talked about this new routine, I was supposed to work out from 7-7:30, but you know what? That is totally not going to happen. It’s dark out, ya’ll! I can’t be arsed to work out in the DARK.
So anyway, the new plan is to write from 6:30-7:30 a.m., and then work out in the evenings between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Yes, it will be dark then as well, but… well, we’ll see. I won’t always be blogging in the mornings (I do have other stuff to write, you know)… But I think the big challenge here will be to not check my work email and to not get sucked into the bloglines vortex.
So as you can see from the photo below, we are now the proud owners of an elaborate hookah. Back in the day, I wrote this article about suburban Hookah lounges for Beep. The good folks at Beep purchased the aforementioned hookah for the accompanying photo shoot, and Jay was pictured in the publication smoking it (apple flavored tobacco only, geez.). So, the editor of Beep has kept the hookah on his desk since then, telling skeptical people that it’s a lamp. Then on Friday, he bequeathed the blue and gold treasure to my husband.
Needless to say, we will be packing it away in storage before we put the house up for sale (hey, does anyone need a 2-bedroom townhome, cuz I have one that I’m trying to get rid of…) Maybe we could offer the hookah as a gift-with-purchase? Ech, anyway…
The sun is coming up now, and I have one last cup of coffee waiting for me. Until next time…
