Help with being on time in the morning?

I don’t know that I’m willing to go this far, but I think that this alarm clock from ThinkGeek.com just might solve my problems getting going in the morning!

Seriously, I’ve been doing pretty well, but this last week or so has been pretty tough. I’m hoping to get the group together this week, though, and am optimistic that the encouragement of working with othes on this will help.

Any of my group folks, if you’re reading this, I was thinking something like yahoogroups might work better than LiveJournal for keep up together. What do you think?
