this is what friendship looks like

it was 7:45{am} and i heard a knock on my door.  not a loud one, and i was asleep, so it took me a few moments to realize what i had heard.  i had to lie there and wonder who would be knocking on my door at 7:45{am}. eventually, i rolled out of bed and went to the door, peeked out and saw no one, so then had to stand there for several seconds wondering if i really did hear a knock at my door at 7:45{am}.  i finally opened the thing and there on my little table was a lovely piece of lemony surprise.  i looked up and down the street, and wrapped my robe a little tighter, thinking that, well.... i shouldn't get arrested this morning if i could help it. i grabbed the still warm plate and went inside to call jen and thank her for breakfast.

of course i ate it for breakfast.  i started at 8:00 exactly and it was gone before 8:04.  that might sound to you like i hardly had time to enjoy it, but you would be wrong... i enjoyed it a lot and am absolutely sure it is exactly what i needed.  it is, i am certain, the start to what is going to be a perfectly great day....  the weather is fantastic, and the dalai lama is in town... i mean, really... lemons, the lama and sunshine - how could you go wrong?

ok then, a few things.  first, i hesitate to let people, (you) know i was sleeping at 7:45{am}, seems a bit decadent to sleep in like that... but i am working tonight and worked last night, so i kind of deserved it? right?  second, i didn't actually call jen, i tried though, but didn't have her cell number and i knew she had to be within a half mile of me at the time, so i emailed her and while doing that she called me....  third, eating a lemon tart should be required every sunny friday morning.  jen?  i will plan to be up and have the tea ready next friday at 7:45{am}... just saying.

Normally I wouldn't knock on anyone's door at 7:45 {am} unless it were an emergency, but I was under the impression that you were an early riser, and it is a really sunny, beautiful morning, so I half-imagined you hanging out the window like Snow White singing to your little bird and mouse friends. OK, that's not true. Really I just knocked on your door because I wanted you to be paying attention when you eventually opened it, so that you wouldn't miss seeing the treat. Glad you liked it!

Can I just say that I want to move onto your block?!! A lemony surprise in the morning...heavenly.

Happy Friday!

That is a nice way to wake up. And I don't think 7:45 is decadent, but it was undoubtedly deserved.

What a wonderful story! You've made my Friday awesome, too! :)

Don't worry, I don't like to get up before 8:30 if I can possibly help it. 7:30 is an early day for me.

Hey, I didn't get an early morning delivery. Lemons, lamas and sunshine sounds like it could be a great album name. And 7:30 - way too early. Sleep is good.
