How do you like to be woken up?

I'd prefer to awaken without the aid of an alarm clock!  One is required during the week, however.  So, I have one of those Zen alarms that gently chimes until I awaken.  No cold, hard dawn for me!

I'm a slow waker-upper.  I luxuriate in the early morning warmth of my favorite blanket; stretching, yawning, half in and half out of the dream world.  I hear the best information that way. 

If I tarry too long, the Orange One (cat number one) lets me know that her empty tummy awaits my tender ministrations -- although on some mornings I pad my way, barefoot, down the hall and to the kitty corner, dump the food unceremoniously into the bowls, and pad my way back to my nice, warm bed while I summon the oomph to get up and shower before driving the misty country roads on my way to work.

On weekends I have the added joy of being cuddled and smooched awake by my sweetie.  He's an early riser (so to speak ;-)  ).  Those early mornings are the best!  Then a little doze time, followed by freshly ground, steaming coffee and one of my famous breakfasts and chat time.
