Every once in a while I look at my life and I says to myself “Self, lets change some things around and see what happens.” Case in point, Shan and I have been celebrating “No Pop Month” for the last 17 days and counting. For the entire month of April, we are not consuming one drop of soda, resorting instead to a regular mix of water, lemonade, tea, beer, wine and milk. I like it. It’s saved us money on occasion, and I’m sure it’s saved our teeth from just that much more rotting. So sometimes it’s good to shake things up a little.

So I’m going to shake things up a little moer in an experiment I like to call GUASAMW, or “Get Up At Seven AM Week!”

I work hourly at my job so I’m not really tied to an 8-5 schedule, and Fridays are usually reserved for my Ryanleigh Web Design work. Which means that I’m not up at the crack of dawn each morning, let’s say that. But this usually turns into losing time at the end of the day, and pissing off Shannon by staying in bed when she gets up or by doing web stuff at night.

So to combat all of that, I’ll be getting up at 7am for the next week. Well, the next business-week, anyways. See I’m taking it slow, and making sure I at least get up at 7am on the weekdays, and then I can reward myself on the weekends with a sleep-in. So Tuesday through Friday, and then Monday through Wednesday I’ll be getting up at 7am, right along with the chickens!

At the bottom of this very page you will see a progress meter. I’ll update it each day I have succesfully gotten up, with 100% meaning a full seven days worth of early mornin’ risin’. (It also gives me a chance to try out the CSS Bar Graph technique, I love it!)

So there it is. Look for an update tomorrow morning!
