Not for ten or twenty minutes earlier or later, but the actual time that you need to get up in order to get where you need to be. Figure out how long it takes you to dress/eat/travel, and subtract that time from the time you are due. Set your alarm for this time.

Step 2: Get up when you alarm goes off.
Yes, right when it goes off. Don’t hit snooze, don’t lie in bed. Just get up and get moving. Then you will get to your destination on time.

Took the guy at the desk five minutes (and three times, “are you sure?”) to figure out that, yes, I do in fact want the children’s version, and not the adult* version.

RodeoClown: isn’t afraid of reading the children’s edition

*I don’t think there’s actually much of a difference between the two – maybe they took out a gratuitous sex scene for the children’s edition.
