Interview of First Lady Laura Bush by Jay Leno
MRS. BUSH: This was back in 1977 when we married, he was thinking about running for Congress, which he did, in our home district in the Panhandle of Texas. So I said, you'll have to promise me I'll never have to give a political speech. And he said, oh, no, of course, you'll never have to. So much for political promises. (Laughter.)
But also, I have to admit, I promised I'd jog with him, too. And I never did.
JAY LENO: You never did?
MRS. BUSH: No. (Laughter.)
JAY LENO: Well, okay, so that works. One cancels out the other.
PROMISES! PROMISES!
I promised my husband that I will ALWAYS eat breakfast with him. I was able to consistently do this the first few weeks of our marriage. I was even the one preparing breakfast! However, as time went by, I began slipping to the point that my husband would sometimes say goodbye to me while I'm still in bed. So much for promises!But it's not too late. I can still make good on my promise. I resolve now to wake up early and make sure I eat breakfast with my husband EVERYDAY.
I was never a morning person so this won't be easy. Good thing there are so many self-help sites in the internet today. I am trying some tips from www.howtowakeupearly.com.
1. Advice #1. To Wake Up Early, Go To Bed Early
What?! This is like DIET and EXERCISE. Obvious and correct but nobody wants to hear it.
No fast fix? Fine. I resolve to sleep no later than
2. Advice #6. Take A Nap In The Afternoon
This one I likey! However, it is advised that afternoon naps be limited to 20-30 minutes. No more 2-hour afternoon naps for me.
3. Advice #27. Advertise Your Early Wake Up Habit
"Start spreading the news. I'm waking early today..."
I already announced my wake-up-early resolution to my Plurk buddies last week. So far, today is the only day that I was able to successfully wake up before 6:00 AM. I woke up at 5:47 AM and was connected to Plurk by 6:14 AM.
(I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my Plurk buddies for the encouragement and support you have given me this past week. I couldn't have done it without you. *bow*)
There are 45 cool tips in the website but I'm only trying 3 this week. I hope it works.
What time do you wake up?
Note: The White House transcript is dated Oct. 7, 2004. I watched that interview when I was already married which meant that it couldn't have been earlier than mid-2006. I've always known that the Leno shows here are reruns but 2 years? Read More...
