The dark, quiet, early morning house.
People always ask Bossy why she wakes up and pads downstairs before 5:30 a.m. every morning, and lord gah the answer would be: alone time.

The Great Getzby says
February 20, 2009 at 8:55 ammy favorite is the dark, quiet, early morning dorm.
of course, at CU, 9:00 is generally early enough to catch it, not 5:30 ….
dgm says
February 20, 2009 at 9:23 amI hear ya. It’s 5:22 and I’ve been up since 4:45. Aside from the two cats tearing through the house, all is quiet. I love this time of day.
Manic Mommy says
February 20, 2009 at 9:32 amDamn Bossy. I thought this was a magazine spread. Your home looks beautiful. Might be enough to entice me to get up early too – almost.
Dharmamama says
February 20, 2009 at 9:34 amMy 10-y.o. *still* has Mama radar, and if I’m up, he’s up. I surrendered a long time ago, and just remember to soak up his company and funny ways, ’cause it won’t be long ’til he’s outta here. I miss alone time, though, I truly do.

February 20, 2009 at 9:47 amThat’s lovely. But where’s all your junk? And your spouse’s junk? And your kids’ junk?
BTW, got Our John Cusack on my blog today.
Just sayin’.
jen says
February 20, 2009 at 9:54 amHey, Great Getzby — would “CU” be CU-Boulder?? My alma-mater! 🙂
Bossy, your giant dining room light is AWESOME!
marchelle says
February 20, 2009 at 10:00 amWord, Bossy.
Lauren says
February 20, 2009 at 10:31 amLove this picture! Such a peaceful atmosphere…
Trenches of Mommyhood says
February 20, 2009 at 11:24 amYup. Me too.
kate says
February 20, 2009 at 11:56 ami do exactly the same thing. except at night.
Maria says
February 20, 2009 at 12:31 pmPADS??? You’ve been reading books again, bossy.
Lisa says
February 20, 2009 at 12:43 pmI love the early mornings. I get up to run. I get to see the sunrise that a lot of people miss.
SherylW says
February 20, 2009 at 12:51 pmAh, I love that early morning peace and quiet. Confession, some times I get annoyed when people wake earlier than the norm and “join” me in my alone time….
imom says
February 20, 2009 at 1:09 pmomg, i’m so with you!
Reeb says
February 20, 2009 at 1:37 pmBeautiful warm peaceful glow.
I”m also imagining all those folks around that table plus the annex table, laughing and drinking wine and enjoying each other.
This room is beautiful in both modes.
corrie says
February 20, 2009 at 1:57 pmAnd I thought Bossy was up so early to do her Richard Simmons tape!
Cactus Petunia says
February 20, 2009 at 2:19 pmI’ve been up that early a few times, but never of my own volition…I stay up late to get my quiet house alone time!
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
February 20, 2009 at 2:35 pmNo Jen–I’m betting CU is Columbia and the Great Getzby is Son of Bossy. Because? Clever Boy!
You almost make we want to get up early. Almost. But not really.
magpie says
February 20, 2009 at 4:41 pmBossy’s house is beautiful.
Mr Farty says
February 20, 2009 at 6:58 pmLoving the all-year-round Xmas lights. Very relaxing.
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
February 20, 2009 at 7:18 pmI crave alone time more than I crave fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce, and that’s saying something because I have to drive an hour just to get some of those. I nearly had a stroke today because my alone time was so interrupted; I’m pretty sure my head spun around twice and I became more hideous with each revolution.
I need to surrender and accept that alone time doesn’t exist unless everyone else is asleep, which explains why Bossy doesn’t get much sleep.

February 20, 2009 at 7:37 pmWhere’dya get the light over the table? I LOVE it and want it over my table 🙂
Oh, The Joys says
February 20, 2009 at 9:20 pmI totally thought you were about to say swag lamps.
annabanana says
February 20, 2009 at 9:29 pmDo you turn on those special lights around the window for your alone time or do they just burn all the time. I love my alone time (4:30 or 5:00am to 6:30 – then it’s over till tomorrow.)
Surcie says
February 20, 2009 at 10:51 pmYeesh, what time are you early risers going to bed?!
Jarrard says
February 21, 2009 at 8:56 amAmen.
amy says
February 21, 2009 at 9:44 amhell to the yeah. I am with you on this one for sure. xo
Naomi says
February 21, 2009 at 1:28 pmI love a nice quiet morning. And I also like the late nights when everyone esle is asleep 🙂
judy says
February 21, 2009 at 7:05 pmI love the idea of this time of day, though I’ve seldom seen it. I saw the sunrise while on vacation once in a house that faced east and realized with a panic that I had left the bedroom door open. Shudder. Your house is beautiful, though.
christina in the middle says
February 23, 2009 at 8:30 pmIs that what 5:30 looks like? Hunh. I like sleep. (After 17 yrs of marriage, that’s alone time 🙂 )
