How funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cat used to be like that - many years ago! He still like to get up on the weekends when we are trying to sleep in and play with the dresser handles. He usually gets a pillow or two tossed at him.


Back to the original question. I have never been an early riser but I can get up early to work out because it makes me feel so good (I do Pilates) and I tell myself that the extra hour of sleep that I would get does NOT make me feel as good as I do after I do Pilates. I remember all of the years practially sleeping in the shower - now I feel great and alert (and in control!) as I wash off the sweat!
