What is the hardest thing for you to do? Getting my lazy buttocks back to the gym it seems.

Deodorant brand? Degree something or other.

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Anyone who really knows me will laugh hysterically at this question for me. You see, I have this 'routine' I follow in the morning, and I tend to get up several hours before I leave the house so I can allow for this routine (time to shower, have a coffee & breakfast, watch the morning news and/or read the paper, make lunch, do my hair/makeup, and make my bed) . Everyone thinks I'm nuts. I don't like to be rushed, and when I do oversleep and rush out the door it off-sets my whole day. Under pressure however, I can be showered, made-up and ready in about an hour, but I don't like to rush. :)
