It's Monday. It's Miserable.

Ugh. I hate Mondays.

In addition to being a photographer, I also have a day job where I am the photographer and graphic designer for a Christian Liberal Arts University . It's such a cool job because I get to photograph all sorts of cool stuff and work with tons of great people... PLUS I get to design a magazine and lots of other fun projects. It's a great job that lets me be really creative, but let's be honest... nothing can make 8am on a Monday morning seem even somewhat appealing. Nothing.

Usually, I start getting in a funk on Sunday afternoon. I start thinking about having to wake up early and about all the paperwork I need to get started on. By the time I go to bed on Sunday, I have a scowl engraved on my face... furrowed brow and all. And then, as I walk in to work on Monday morning, I usually sigh very over dramatically and say something stupid like, "I need another spring break."

I'm such a wuss.

Well, I'm done with that.

Miserable Mondays, as I've referred to them for quite some time, start in my head. So I'm going to do something about it. I'm going to institute Marvelous Monday. Instead of dreading Monday, I'm going to start my week out with a positive thought, and I'm going to share it with you. So here we go... what can I talk about today that's positive.....

A few weeks ago we discovered something that changed our lives... or at least our shopping habits. It's Sabra's Supremely Spicy Hummus. I love me some hummus and I've tried tons of different varieties, and this is by far the best I've ever had. It's really smooth and spicy and oh so much healthier than most of my other favorite snacks. I can't even describe it. Go get some. Seriously.

Yup, just thinking about that hummus has put me in a better mood. Marvelous.

Mondays do tend to be somewhat miserable, but without the harshness of Monday, we'd never get the joy of Friday.

I don't think any amount of hummus could make Mondays marvelous. But I might change my mind tomorrow.

AGREED!
They need that in the cafeteria.

So if you love hummus, you should go to Remy's kitchen and wine bar in Clayton (which is amazing) and order the hummus. Best I have ever had. They have really good olive tapenade which is complimentry and goes really well with the hummus too. I dream of this stuff.
