I’m a morning person. As soon as I wake up, I think “carpe diem.” Seriously, this is the first thought that runs through my head 95% of mornings. If you’re not a morning person and you’d rather go back to bed like Murphy, you probably think I’m crazy. (Maybe I am?) But the thought of seizing the day (and, of course, breakfast) gets me right out of bed nearly every morning.
Breakfast
I enjoyed an amazing breakfast this morning thanks to Angela’s Healthy Carrot Cake Power Scuffins. Mmm! I’m now convinced it’s impossible to eat just one since I ended up eating two again. Damn, they are good! I also had an iced coffee with soy milk. Perfect breakfast.
Coffee + Grinder Promo
Don’t forget about my Pumpkin Spice + grinder promo! It only runs until the end of the month, so act fast!
Question of the Day
Are you a morning person? What’s the first thought that runs through your head when you wake up?
P.S. Check out my ice cream giveaway on Trading Up Downtown this morning!

I thought I was a morning person, but my co-workers informed me otherwise. So I’d have to agree with comment #2. “I’m up and at ‘em, I”d just rather be at ‘em in silence!”
Definitely depends on the daY! SOme days I am a definite morning person, otehrs I want to roll over and go back to bed!
Hey…is it cookie friday yet??!!
I’m a morning person if I get good sleep the night before. Today was one of those days! I like my morning routine and had a great drive to work. Being optomistic is everything, right?
Well for me on weekends, I usually sleep to 8:30-9am and then I can get my day started quickly. During the week, I’m like a zombie before 8am. Any tips to help me wake up with ease?
I am SO not a morning person… as hard as I try, I can’t do it. :p
I am SO not a morning person! I had to get up at 5am today and it felt like a death sentence. I wish I was, but I need a good half hour every morning just to feel human. You’re so lucky!
I totally agree with you about being a morning person! It makes me feel so good to get up and get started doing stuff right away!
Just reading all the comments – the morning people posted early! The SO NOT MORNING people posted later in the day!!! HAHAHA!!!
i love the mornings! no earlier than 7am though please
my boyfriend lovesssss to sleep in and i just dont get it, seems like such a waste of a day to me! mornings are so peaceful and productive 
I’m definitely NOT a morning person! I’m usually thinking “It cannot really be 6:00 already..”
The weird thing though is that I am a morning workout person. Me + waking up early + a workout = great mood!! 
But subtract that workout and you get “cranky Andrea” all the way until about 11:00am!
The first thought is usually – I wish I had the luxury of waking up naturally when I am ready
I am definitely a morning person! I LOVE my mornings. They’re so quiet and peaceful. I don’t really know what I think directly upon awaking, but one of the first things I do is look out the window to see if it’s going to be a nice day. If I see a rising sun and blue sky, I get this warm glowing feeling inside. I love the start of a beautiful new day…and, of course, breakfast on the porch.
I am a morning person. I jump out of bed and right away my mind starts listing the things that I need to do during the day.
Morning person all the way – I just think how good I will feel after I run/workout and get things done before I have to head off to work!
LOL, I’m so NOT a morning person. I wish I was, but I just can’t break my nightowl habits.
Eveyr morning the first thing I think is “Today I’m expecting good things.” It sort of sets my mood for the day and gets me into a positive thinking mindset!
Haha, I agree with Julie (#77). That’s also my first thought
I’m not a morning person, but I get up at 5:30 AM weekday mornings for work 
I’m definitely not a morning person. I can (and do) wake up fairly early, but I’m never bounding out of bed. It takes me a good 2+ hours to fully wake up!
i’m always pretty chipper, no matter what time of day. i’m up around 7am and go to bed at 11pm, which wouldn’t make me neither an extreme morning OR night person. i don’t know what i think when i wake up – probably what did i dream about?
The mornings are my favourite time of day. I love how serene they are!
My first thought is usually “Mmm I want breakfast!”
LOL to caitlin (56) and julie (77). can totally relate to both!
Depends on the day. However, Monday through Friday I frequently am bummed out about having to go to work!
I am not a morning person AT ALL. I stumble grumble mumble my way through the house.
Work days: first thing is “10 more minutes – reset alarm NOT snooze bc I’m just weird like that – repeat.” Nonwork days: first thing is Yawn – strech – resettle cats – fall back asleep. If I can I try to sleep in until at least 9am.
I’m a lucky one who can wake up, actually get up, help my hubby get ready/say goodbye then go back to bed/fall back asleep.
I am a morning person, and I always have been. I like to get up and get my day started. I have more energy in the mornings than in the evenings. I like to go to the grocery store early on Saturday mornings when there’s no one there and the store is all nice and put together and clean.
I am for sure not a morning person, but I tend to wake up anyways and try to do something to really tingle the senses (i.e. yoga, running, eating… ahahha). Usually getting motivated isn’t too hard. Maybe I am a morning person 75% of the time… Who knows? We’ll find out this fall when I have to inevitably seize the day and greet an 8am class!
