Before i used to wake up in the morning having a cup of coffee and chatting with my mom discussing the latest news in the neighborhood after that i'll take a bath and go to my office as early as possible. But just this morning my daily morning routine has changed. I woke up early take a cup of coffee and instead of chatting none senses with my mom i'll make use of my time making blogs and comments on this site to earn extra income and then take a bath and go to my office with a three inches smiling face thinking that i have already gained extra income as early as in the morning! as they say early birds catches the worms! How about you guys what do you do first thing in the morning?

The first thing I usually do is put the coffee on, and I will then usually hop in the shower & then brush my teeth and whatnot. I usually come on myLot at night - it's interesting that you would come on right when you wake up!

The first thing I do is brush my teeth and have a bath and get ready to go to my office. I read the newspaper, watch television, and have my breakfast.

The first thing I do is check my e-mail. because I have lotsof junk mail, average of 200 per day, I need to delete them. I really don't why, where did they get my e-mail adress, I mean I am not that kind of giving my e-mail adress on the internet ttype. God help me. Next thing would be drink tea and eat bread, my mom always buy different of bread whener she went to a shopping trip. And from today, I add another thing in the list, come to this site.

Soon after i wake up i meditate for 10 mins. Then usual routine like bathing and start my prayer. My daily prayer includes, requesting God to keep all in the family happy. Then start my household works and will complete within 8 am. Then start reading hindu newspaper for a while and then listen to hindi middle songs in 9x channel.

May i know what time is "as early as possible?" Something tells me that you're one of those-- er... evening persons whose morning usually starts at 11 am. Am i right or am i right??? hehehehe. Kidding dear. Muahhhh! Well, for me, the first thing i do is stay in bed for a few minutes praising God and thanking him for a new day, and asking Him to bless my day and make good of it because i know i can't get anywhere on the day without Him navigating my ship. Then after that i do exactly anything i want. I don't make any plans, not anymore. I find it more enjoyable and rewarding to take everyday as it comes. Of course i have responsibilities to attend to like work, but other than that i try to be spontaneous as much as i can. That's how i start my day. Usually. :)

The first thing that I do in the morning is go downstairs, make breakfast, pack the lunch for hubby, feed my dog. That was it, it takes only an hour to do all the stuff, then hubby leaves, I start to play with the computer.

the first thing i always check when i wake up especially when its weekdays, is to check on the dogs' pee and poop. they would smell of course and it would be embarrassing to the neighbors. so after waking up i go outside and check it, clean if there's poop and clean with water their pee... it would take some time to do that...

I think the best is to do some exercises but i have not done for a long time. I need to change the law of my life. I always work at night and sleep begin in the morning.i don't like this, but i can't chage it now!!

Kiss my husband...then (depending on whose turn it is...) I either take the dogs out to the back yard OR I get right in the shower...i cannot function without that shower in the morning - it's a MUST!

It really depends on what morning it is. I work 24 hour shifts with FIRE / EMS schedule...so if I have downtime at the station then I spend it online. On my days off, I typically get up and check email and do everything I need to...then get off the computer until evening. I don't really have a morning routine anymore simply because I work so many differing shifts! Sometimes I work nights and sometimes I work days...and sometimes both!

Now a days I go to my office around 7:30. So I get up early in the morning take a bath and go to the bathroom and do my routines and read the newspaper and have a breakfast and then go to my office. I feel very energetic throughout the day after I started to get up early in the morning. Before I used to sleep until 8 and sleep very late at night. I think it is great to feel the air and atmosphere in the morning.

Well, my morning starts with an exercise, but if you want a detailed routine.. first , gargle a glass of water, looking for something to eat (light meal), stretching, go to toilet to deposit my biodegradable waste lol!, prepare my mountainbike for a 2 hours exercise a 13 kilometer ride, 10 kilometers of it, all uphill. and the moment i reach on top of the mountain try to have a 30 minutes break before going back home. This routine starts at 5 a.m. ends around 8:30 - 9:00 a.m.

The first thing i do it think "urgh, is it morning?!!" and then try and go back to sleep lol. Im really not a morning person. On odd occasions i wake up feeling really happy and wide awake, so i usually get up and start my day fairly quickly. The first thing i do usually is have something to eat and then walk my dogs.
