I love the Sunday paper. Don’t know what it is that’s different about it, except for the ads, but I love it. No one in my house is allowed to even crack that sucker until I do.
Ah, the damp plastic bag (this morning it was freezing cold) as it slides off. The snap of the rubber band as it’s discarded.
Then the paper. Carefully remove all the ads and sort them into what order I want to look at them. Get a cup of hot coffee and a Luna bar and sit in the sun in the kitchen nook.
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. 
I read the ads first, slowly. Page by page.
I set the coupons aside for later (yes, i cut coupons, so I’m a typical mom).
Then after the ads, I read the comics. By now I probably refilled my coffee cup.
After the comics, I read the paper itself. Okay, well I sorta skim it and read all the headlines. My fun is in the rest of the paper. 
Any favorite Sunday rituals out there?
