So I'm trying this new thing out....called a disciplined life. You know, like doing things when you should do them and not when you want to. I'm taking baby steps, but I'm definitely able to see those baby steps build up and play out in other areas of my life and now it's getting sort of exciting. Baby steps like getting to work a few minutes early and trying to respond to e-mails in a timely fashion. A few weeks ago, I started a new bedtime routine - in addition to showering + brushing teeth, I've been flossing + crest pro-health rinsing (this stuff is delicious and I sort of have to remind myself that it's mouth wash...not a tasty drink) + quiet time. I've also been keeping my room 'somewhat clean', which is a vast improvement from 'huge disaster area'. But last week's message at Frontline convicted me to stop serving God my leftovers at the end of the day. Todd Phillips calls it "being spiritually married but living the single life". You don't leave the last, half-dazed 10 minutes of your day to spend with your spouse. So this week, I've been trying this new "waking up early" thing for early morn quiet time. Biggest hurdle: my bed. A mega pity that my comforter is so soft and my mattress topper so ridiculously insulated. Forcing myself out of my bed into the arctic tundra that is my bedroom has proved to be my most formidable adversary.
I need a space heater dish.

I am a huge fan of space heaters. Esp. in my home, where my parents keep the house a consistent temperature of freezing. It's like creating your own African Sahara in your room!
women and their heat dishes... WHO NEEDS EM?
What you need is an alarm-controlled bed-verticalizer to dump you on the floor. That said, not everyone is a morning person so I've always hated the association of getting up/sleeping late with being lazy (which happens to be true in my case). Hey, if you're more creative at night, embrace it.
