Friday Five<\/p>\n
1. What are the first things that you do in the morning to start your day?<\/p>\n
When I wake up, the first thing I have to do is get the dog off of me. For reasons I don\u2019t understand, he loved to sneak up onto the bed in the morning and lie right on top of my legs. Not Kevin’s legs. Mine. Please understand that he is very very fat (over 80 lbs) so the act of removing myself from my own bed is difficult. I think he secretly hopes that if he pins my legs down, I won\u2019t be able to leave the house and then he can spend all day snoozing on the bed.<\/p>\n
2. What are the last things that you do at night before going to bed?<\/p>\n
I have to check the doors. All three, (front, side & back) to make sure they are locked. Kevin is constantly wandering in and out of the house willy-nilly. I have read far too many mystery novels for my own good and am convinced someone is going to sneak up stairs and smother me if I leave the doors unlocked. So I always check. There is nothing creepier than going downstairs in the morning and seeing that the door was unlocked all night. My over active imagination goes into overdrive and I envision people hiding in my closet and waiting until Kevin leaves before they jump out and get me. Gives me the heeby-jeebies.<\/p>\n
3. What daily routine have you recently added to your day?<\/p>\n
I have started sweeping the floors almost daily. Take three furry animals and add warm weather. You\u2019ll end up with so much hair lying around the house, you\u2019ll be able to stuff a queen sized down comforter at the end of the week. The only way to stay on top of the situation is a) Nair your pets or b) sweep. The little buggers have learned to run and hid when they see me coming with the pink bottle of Nair so I\u2019m reduced to sweeping.<\/p>\n
4. What routine do you wish you get rid of?<\/p>\n
Having to wake up every day before noon. That just sucks.<\/p>\n
5. What’s the one thing that makes you feel like something is missing if you don’t do it some point within your day?<\/p>\n
Checking the mail. I love getting mail even if it\u2019s just credit card offers. My day isn\u2019t right unless I check the mail box. It\u2019s like getting little presents wrapped in white envelopes. Makes me happy. If Kevin ever gets home before me and gets the mail I feel off balance. Like I missed something. I guess I\u2019m just a strange duck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
