A stupid neighbor's clock radio has been going off every morning from 4-5 and waking me up.  I went over and rang their doorbell this morning at 4:15 with no response. Spoke to the condo president this morning and said if they can't get it stopped - I will call the cops tomorrow.

Since I couldn't sleep - went to the gym and did an hour of legs and core strengthening, then 6 miles on the treadmill alternating .5 at 5.2mph, then .5 at 6.2 mph,

Puppy gets spayed today.

It is 7:15 and I need a nap!

Nice workout this morning. I need a ride on the nap train too, will you pick me up?

Huh, I fail to understand the problem. By 4:15, I already at 400m done in the pool. Early morning is where it is at!

Crockett - the difference is between voluntarily going out that early (and getting to bed early enough) and being forced out unwillingly.

I do like the early morning workouts - too bad not all the Gold's Gyms are open that early - I had to drive to Bangeter to get one open.

OK, I'll give you a wakeup call at 3:45.

Waking someone before absolutely necessary is punishable by DEATH!!! I actually had 9 kids, but.... well you know ;) I LOVE my days when I get up early and get it all done, but MAN, I really love sleeping in and taking it how ever I feel. Lot's of Lolly Gagging :) Maurine- call the cops with my blessing! Maybe train Twilight to poop on their porch.

Oh Maurine!! That was the best visual ... I can totally see you pounding on their door at 4:15!!!

Hope you are having a great Friday! :)
