Not really. Although I keep up with it on a regular basis, but no, I don't have set days for it.

I actually love my bedroom. It's recently been "made-over" and I find it very relaxing and soothing. I love the way it's been decorated now. Unfortunately, I just don't seem to find a comfortable position in my bed anymore, I toss and turn alot.

It was actually fairly easy, compared to how it has been of late.

[Magnolia]

1) Tell us about where you live:
San Diego, CA. I love living here most of the year. It gets frustrating
in the summer when the rest of the world comes to visit. The roads

love it.

I'd like to have a yard. At least a small one.

3) Do you do laundry on a regular schedule?
Nah, just whenever I need to. Usually a couple of times a week.

I love my bedroom, but it's small. Lots of interesting art on the walls,
and my bed is comfy. I wish it was bigger and that I had more closet
space, tho.

5) This morning: was it easy or difficult to start the day?
Easy. I'm still on vacation so no alarm clock for me. Yay.

[wildgator]

I live in Mayberry...no, really, Andy Griffith's home town. And it sucks...there is nothing to do, everything downtown closes at 5, and the people are just arrogant jerks.

oh, boy, yeah it was. We're going camping this weekend and my late start didn't help the fact that I have a lot to do and pack up. (My first camping trip ever - should be hilarious! I'm kinda a clean, inside girl! LOL!)

[jawallac]

1) Tell us about where you live: Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. A small college town. It feels like home to me - I went to college here and returned after 20 years away. I'm also near to family, and that's a big bonus. And winters DO suck...summer's great!

2) If you could change one thing about your home, what would it be? I would make my apartment a house or condo. Paid off, of course!

3) Do you do laundry on a regular schedule? No set schedule. But it seems like I'm doing a load each weekend.

But I sleep on Temperpedic mattress (don't know if I'll ever be able to sleep on anything else again) ...with me on one side, two kitties on the other side, and the occasionally night time fights. The bed was my parents; it's late '50s mid-century modern.

5) This morning: was it easy or difficult to start the day? Mornings are almost always a challenge: who wants to wake up and go to work?

3) Do you do laundry on a regular schedule? Yes.

4) Describe the place that you sleep: Well, it's kinda crowded... there's three or four bookshelves that Dad built, plus the usual accoutrements. Oh, and I have to keep the door closed at night so the dogs don't come in and tear the place apart.

5) This morning: was it easy or difficult to start the day? I am so not a morning person and waking up at 6 AM is always a pain. I guess the fact that it was Friday made it a little easier.

[AndreaM]

1) Tell us about where you live: Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Was once the Capital, waaaaaaay back when. It's called the city by the bay. Raritan Bay, that is, just across from Staten Island. Last exit in Jersey before the Outerbridge Crossing. It had been going downhill for years, but there're new developments, and Chevron Oil has been gradually leaving and cleaning up their messes. Property values are going up as improvements continue. Big industrial area. Hess is near here. But the bay may soon be safe for swimming again, after about 50 years, and the ferry is supposed to come back.

2) If you could change one thing about your home, what would it be? The roof! It's leaking, and we've no money right now to replace it. It's got two layers, so it needs a complete tear-down.

3) Do you do laundry on a regular schedule? I'm a little sporadic, though I usually keep the hamper from overflowing.

4) Describe the place that you sleep: Frank and I sleep upstairs in an attic bedroom, next to the computer room. A queen bed on the floor, 'cause the walls are slanted to the roof line. The room was recently redone in light metallic purple. When Frank's not home, sometimes I'll sleep in my old bedroom downstairs next to the main bathroom, in a full bed on the floor. That has two pieces of Frank's furniture from his house and not much else, 'cause it's small, and it's still a work in progress right now, but it's 'the guest room'. There's a table fan I run so I don't hear Dad's hourly trips to the loo!

5) This morning: was it easy or difficult to start the day? Not too bad. I tend to wake up with a headache or neck pain, but I've been doing my neck exercises, so lately it's been better. Now I just have to get to bed earlier!

[Yuppie]

3) Do you do laundry on a regular schedule?
I try to, but it dosen't always happen that way.

4) Describe the place that you sleep:
I have a huge attic bedroom that is 375 sq ft. We have room for all of my hubbies hunting and fishing crap and a desk for me to do homework or crafts. It is pained green with Camo curtains purchased from Cabelas. LOL


5) This morning: was it easy or difficult to start the day?
Easy, I had to pee and the bathroom is all the way down stairs.
