Starbuck in the morning only gets me going and if I go to bed around 8-9PM then I really will have a good morning!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Well, to be honest, it just takes a glass of water! I get up and feel tired and drink a glass of water, and about 15 min. later I feel wide awake. Thanks!
July 13th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I drink a large mug of coffee and get lots of kisses from 3 silly retrievers. After about 15 minutes I’m as awake as I’m going to get.
July 13th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
The contest hasn’t started yet but I might as well leave my lit’l say soo now…or else I’ll forget!
To get me going in the morning…short version…(good sleep helps!!) But mainly its a cup of Starbucks Italian Roast and a nice quick shower!~!
OR
The long version(meaning NOT in a rush)…::coffee brewing::…yoga/stretching and a morning devotional time. Then drink coffee slowly throughout the morning.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Hi,
I can’t get going in the morning unless I get a tall glass of orange juice. It’s the best.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
It’s really my shower that wakes me up, but I can’t function at work without my morning coffee. Heavy cream, heavy sugar adds just the right touch.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
the thing that gets me going in the morning is looking at the clock and screaming, “I am going to be late, I could just scream!”
July 13th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Dr. Pepper. And when its cold outside I heat the Dr. Pepper. Sorta like hot tea

I have to have immediately 2 cups of coffee before I can even hit the shower.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:12 am
Before I even get out of bed I do a good half hour of stretching to get my blood moving and lubricate the joints and then I am ready to make the French Vanilla coffee!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:21 am
What gets me going in the morning is my coffee!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:23 am
At least 2 cups of coffee.

July 14th, 2008 at 6:52 am
THE ONLY THING THAT GETS ME GOING IS A VANILLA FRAPP IN THE MORNING EVERY MORNING

When I get up in the morning, I like to enjoy a bagel with cream cheese and a small glass of milk. Yummy!!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:01 am
I love my cup of spiced Chai in the mornings, for sure… Especially while I am getting the kids breakfast ready. We go through a lot of canned biscuits, but here’s what I do. I put all the biscuits out to bake in a pan, but I brush a little bit of butter on top of them before cooking, then I take some maple sugar sprinkle (in in the spice aisle) and sprinkle it over the butter. Bake. Walah! YUMMY!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:26 am
A brisk walk gets me going in the morning…then relaxing with a cup o’

Besides coffee—-my puppy gets me up too early and likes to play. I’m awake then!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am
My morning starts with my coffee pot already set up for my wake me up Starbucks coffee. My dogs wait patiently while I get my first sip, before being fed.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:52 am
The wake-up for me is Diet Coke! My husband is the serious coffee person in our house. Thank you for this giveaway!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:56 am
A glass of orange juice or water gets me going, then a cup of coffee keeps me going.

A venti soy white chocolate mocha really gets me started in the morning.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Nothing gets me going like a good breakfast and a cup of coffee. My favorite morning meal is probably a spinach omelette with a couple slices of a fresh peach. Then I sip my coffee slowly to savor that favorite moment of the day.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Honestly, I usually wake up refreshed and ready to start the day. But, I LUV my starbucks, but I usually have a frapp at night.

Just what the Witch Doctor ordered.
July 14th, 2008 at 11:00 am
My friend the Witch Doctor told me about Starbucks.
July 14th, 2008 at 11:09 am

July 14th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Some coffee and a breakfast sandwich are what gets me going!
July 14th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I usually drink about 3 cups of regular coffee in the morning, but when I treat myself to Starbucks, I only need one because I get something large and special.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
All I need in the morning is a shower, a kiss and a hug from my family, and a quick stop at the Staebucks drive-through then I am good to go for the day!
July 14th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Oh Lordy, it’s gotta be coffee! Without that, forget it. Actually, I drink it all day. I’ve been told I should just have it run through an IV in my arm. That’s what my husband says.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I need a big hearty breakfast in the morning to get going
July 14th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
A cup of coffee (or two) is what gets me moving each morning. I love coffee! Thanks!
July 14th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
I make a pot of tea and eat a yogurt. I get to wake up and feed myself at the same time!
July 14th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I need to eat some protein with my caffeine. Something hot such as coffee or tea in the winter and something cold in the summer. Iced coffee, tea or diet coke. To make a low fat scrambled eggs I use two egg whites and one yolk. I add low fat cheese too.

this is tooo easy–starbucks coffee made very strong!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
It’s usually very difficult for me to get out of bed and get on with my day sometimes. Occasionally I have to remind myself that I can do it, the same Holy Spirit who raised Christ from the dead is in me and if He can come back like that, the least I can do is stumble out of bed!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
What gets me up and going in the morning is the sound of my son’s voice saying, “Good Morning, Mommy” while he leans over me and I haven’t even opened my eyes yet. Now when he gets older, I’ll teach him to bring me a cup of coffee to REALLY get me up!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I need a grnola bar to get moving in the morning
July 14th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
A shower gets me going in the morning
July 14th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Coffee, whether from Starbucks or brewed at home is the best part of waking up! I have 2 young active little boys and if I miss out on my coffee, the day is ruined!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
There’s no better start to the day than my favorite

July 14th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
My alarm clock allows me to dock my ipod. I listen to some really up music while I run around getting dressed and ready to go. I’ve got the music in me.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:24 pm

July 14th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
It takes me an hour to fully wake up in the morning. So what I like to do is simple- start a cigarette (I know, bad for me) and then grab some coffee, and a little cheese bread. The caffeine and food wakes me up just as quickly!

July 15th, 2008 at 6:45 am
What gets me going in the morning? A two year old pushing and prodding and yelling “Mommy, wake up! Mommy! Chocolate milk!” After I see to his highness, what makes me feel awake is a cup or two of coffee and an online crossword puzzle.
July 15th, 2008 at 6:48 am
Coffee. It’s the first thing I do. I have a senseo machine so i dont have to wait long!
July 15th, 2008 at 6:57 am

July 15th, 2008 at 8:59 am

July 15th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Listening to my favorite radio station and a cup of tea gets me moving in the morning.

sweet anticipation of my 1st cup of coffee of the day !
July 15th, 2008 at 11:00 am
My date with my running shoes gets me going!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:13 am
I never feel really awake until I have a good very strong cup of black coffee. I’ll usually have more than one and a large glass of water as well. But that first cup of coffee is what really gets me up.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:13 am
If I don’t have my morning coffee, than I’ve decided that the day doesn’t start! No coffee for me means nothing nice for anybody around me:) Here’s a tip: to flavor your coffee quick, on the go, without lots of calories, buy the Swiss Miss low calorie hot chocolate packets, dump 1/3 or 1/4 of the packet in your coffee!!! Yummy! and easy to do at work!!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:34 am
I take my dog for a 30 mintue walk around the lake. That is the only thing that gets me going in the mornings!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:35 am
What gets me going in the morning is my coffee!
July 15th, 2008 at 11:51 am
The local alternative rock radio station as my alarm. Nothing gets me out of bed and moving faster than Smells Like Teen Spirit at 6 AM.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:57 am
my cat gets me up then coffee finishes waking me up
July 15th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Hot chocolate in the winter. Chocolate milk in the summer. Got to have my chocolate.
July 15th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
My four-year-old leaps onto me screaming, usually…so I have no choice but to wake up!
July 15th, 2008 at 1:28 pm

July 15th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Oh I just Love Starbucks ,get my vente size everyday.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
It doesn’t take much for me to get going in the morning. I say a prayer, that motivates me.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I don’t need an alarm clock in the morning, i’ve got a 2 year old who refuses to let me sleep once he’s up, which is usually about 6 am!! When i am up, i usually make peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches for everyone and drink a red bull on occasion.
When i get the chance to go to starbucks there iced caramel macciato and iced chia are like a little sip of heaven!
July 15th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
I am a morning person. I get up at 5:30 every morning without an alarm clock. I do enjoy my cup of coffee. Thanks for the chance.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
In the morning, my 2-year-old wakes me pretty early. Then the first thing we do is go sit outside on the back porch. If I’m really tired, then coffee helps, but usually just the sun and breeze are a happy start to my day!
July 15th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Just some coffee and yogurt
July 15th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
A Bagel either with cream cheese or Kraft Singles and a glass of orange juice really gets me going in the morning. Thanks for the great opportunity!
July 15th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
coffee and quiet time
July 15th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
I like one cup of coffee..a nice flavored kind like mocha or blueberry…
July 15th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
It definitely takes a little bit of caffeine in some form or another to get me good and awake! Whether it’s Coke or coffee. Thank you for this giveaway, I’d use this!
July 15th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
I usually need several cups of tea and a little peace and quiet to go from groggy to fully functioning. If I am able to get a soy latte later from Starbucks it is a perfect morning.
Thanks for the giveaway.
July 15th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
The smile on my one year old’s face when she wakes up and I walk in her room. Any *blah* feeling fly out the window and I’m consumed by her happiness! (A grande nonfat white mocha helps too!) LOL!
July 15th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
I tell you what, about the only that gets me going is black coffee straight out of my coffee maker. Really doesnt matter what the brand is, as long as it wakes me up and gets my engine going.
July 15th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Kids yelling in my ear!
July 15th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

Are you looking for a great breakfast recipe? The bonus here is that blue berries provide antioxidents. Awsome.
Blueberry French Toast
8 oz loaf French bread
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 cup milk
3 large eggs
¼ cup sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
2 tblsp butter or margarine
Cut bread diagonally into eight 1½” thick slices. Cut a 2” long slit 1” deep in top of each slice to form a pocket. Divide blueberries into 8 portions; fill pockets with berries.
Whisk together milk, eggs, ¼ cup sugar & vanilla. Combine ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon in cup. Set both aside.
Soak bread slices in egg mixture 30 seconds to 1 minute.
July 16th, 2008 at 6:07 am
I require a large cup of black tea to get me going each morning, along with breakfast. I recently discovered steel cut oatmeal. What a find! I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of trying it. Yummy!

COFFEE!!! And my cat licking my toes… that usually gets me out of bed too…
July 16th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Coffee…coffee…coffee….If I haven’t had my morning coffee yet…then don’t even bother to talk to me unless you would like your head removed from your body. LOL.

My husband has gotten me hooked on the french vanilla or mocha slushies at our local gas station.
In the summer my family adapts to my husbands work schedule which he works 7:00 pm - 7:00 am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Monday and Tuesday its from 4:30 am - 2:00 pm and Wednesday its from 1:30 am - 7:00 am. So we wake up late so its hard not to want a cool refreshing drink in the Florida heat.
I’v never tried Starbucks so this would be a great prize to win.
Thank you.
July 18th, 2008 at 5:06 am
I reqire a cup of coffee and at least an hour of me time before I can deal with the 4 children and husband

July 19th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
