A Date with Kettle Popcorn & Fruity Tea

I have a confession to make.

Even though I try to eat healthy,  here lately my breakfast has become a special, solitary retreat, to indulge my craving for my new favorite snack: Kettle Popcorn & Fruit Tea. 
I am embarrassed to admit it, but for the last 10 days straight I have eaten a small bag of the stuff every single morning!

I am addicted.

It's not just the taste of the sweet popcorn and fruity tea I enjoy, but also the routine of knowing I will get to relax and enjoy something I love, for 10 minutes or so.......  
alone...
......in a quiet room.
First thing in the morning I pop my kettle popcorn and heat up my fruity tea and set at my desk to check my e-mail, my blog & facebook and what not before Felicity wakes up.  It has become a morning ritual that I look forward to.  

It's a morning date with myself.
Just me at my desk...... with the popcorn, the warm tea & some pretty fresh flowers from the yard.


As I enjoy my morning routing, I know my alone time will likely be interrupted before long.
.
Felicity will come running into the dinning room (where my desk is) and climb up in her booster seat ready for breakfast soon.
On this particular morning I wasn't fast enough with her breakfast so she just decided to climb up onto the table and try to eat a fake pear.

It's funny to me how the simplest little indulgence can become something to look forward to.  I never would have thought that 10 minutes alone with a bowl of kettle popcorn and tea would be something I would lay in bed looking forward to - but I do.  

As I'm sitting here savoring the last of the tea and kettle corn crumbs,  I usually hear the sound of the bedroom door slowly creaking open.  
It's funny because at first I think, "darn, my time is up", but then, the instant I see the beautiful little smiling face of my baby girl come prancing into the room I don't mind the interruption.
  I'm happy and ready to start my day with her.

    1. I will have it back going again next week but we were gone this weekend celebrating my husband's birthday and I was never able to get everything together for it and hated to start it once the day was already half over.
