The early bird definitely...

...gets a lot of S-H-I-T done!

Well, I guess all that sleep I got over the weekend filled up my sleep tank, because I woke up at 4 am this morning wide awake, ready to go. But what the hell do you do at 4 am? I had already cleaned my entire house including all of my laundry (yesterday). So I read. For 2 hours. I finished my fourth book in 2 weeks. Don't worry...I'm no speed reader. They were the equivalent to reading gossip magazines. Easy summer reads. Next time (if there is a next time) I'm going to get myself to the beach to watch the sunrise.

Anywho. By 6:30 I was dressed, back from grocery shopping, and cooking breakfast. Since I have all this time today I started planning my lunch. This is my new favorite salad- although it doesn't involve any lettuce.

• 1/2 cucumber
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 can artichoke hearts (quartered)
• 1/4 - 1/2 red onion
• olive oil
• sea salt & pepper
• thyme, sage, and/or basil (I used all three)
• feta cheese

Umm, amazing! Just cut everything into big chunks, sprinkle on some feta crumbles, drizzle some olive oil, toss, and you are good to go. I can literally eat an entire large bowl of this in one sitting. And I will this afternoon!

Enjoy!
