Hi reader,
In my modern working girl life fantasies, I spring out of bed in the morning fashionable and fabulous, efficiently iMessaging about important appointments and ready to change the world every day. Like this:
In reality, this morning when my alarm clock went off I stretched, blinked half heartedly and spent 5 minutes trying to think of something exciting enough about my looming day to get me out of bed. Like this:
If you ever feel the same way, here is a list of things to do to help you get out of bed in the morning.

Morning List of Fabulous
1) Lay out your outfit the night before. Wake up excited about how adorable you are going to look all day.
2) Find an Op-Ed column (Maureen Dowd is better than a cup of coffee any day) or blog (AHEM) that you like to read for 5 minutes in the morning. Religious texts work too--namaste, amen, etc, etc
3) Buy an AWESOME coffee machine.
4) Wake up with time to sit down and have breakfast. Make something good, preferably the night before--see Shape Magazine's recs here
5) Put a piece of candy next to sink in the bathroom. Whatever, you're about to brush your teeth anyway. On a diet? Totally, me too. Put a sticky note with an awesome song lyric, self-congratulatory note or a gentle, loving reminder not to be such a fat-ass on the mirror
Good luck! Almost Friday...
