Psst! Guess What?

Most of my Mondays start out like this.

This Monday is no exception. I will still be carting my tumbler of black java wherever I go until it's gone. And then I'll be looking for my afternoon cup. (How did I ever cut back on this stuff when I was pregnant?) 

Anyway, this Monday is better than normal because, as a wonderful reminder to you, it is....*drumroll please*....

A SHORT WORK WEEK!!

Thank God for the birth of a nation and the reason to get together on a day normally reserved for work and hang out with friends and family.

So drink your java, grin and bear Monday and remember you are only FOUR days away from a THREE day weekend!! 

Cheers,

Samara

Coffee. Wine. Music.

Last weekend with New Year's resolutions in tow, my husband and I decided to get out of the house on a dreary Michigan Sunday afternoon and go to a local coffee shop. We were greeted with this colorful door that seemed to pop out of the brick and mortar. A nice surprise on such a gray day.

The building was a two story, vivid, colorful shop with local artists' work lining the walls. Local musicians and vocalists had prepared a full schedule of performance selections. Wine, food and coffee were being served. The performances were amazing and varied. Here are a couple of shots of the artists:

The coffee was strong just how I like it and it was such a nice way to break up a Sunday afternoon when you're dreading the return of Monday and the workweek.

What's your favorite thing to do on lazy Sundays? 

Cheers,
