Re: Wacky Wednesday

  • I can't believe how many of you don't make the bed!  Am I the only anal retentive person on this board?  I can't stand an unmade bed.  I even have to arrange all the throw pillows in the correct positions.  

    90 books in 2015?

  • 1) What is your favorite pizza topping?  Pepperoni, mushrooms and black olives
    2) Where we're you living when you were 20?  At my parents' house
    3) Do you make the bed every morning?  Oh yes.  DH mocks me for it, but I don't care.
    4) What is on your desk?  At work, papers to grade, papers to return, pens, computer and my gradebook.  At home, a whole lot of stuff.  Laptop, books, magazines, camera, pens, a couple of DS' books, some random toys.. it's a big desk and becomes sort of a catch-all.

    Only on the weekends.  Trying to get both of us out the door on time in the morning is a chore itself.

    I make the bed, but the throw pillows stay piled up in the corner unless we're expecting company (although why they'd go upstairs to our room I don't know).  I also make the bottom bunk of the girls' bunk bed, but not the top.  I have to climb up, one foot on the dresser and the other on a windowsill, to make the top bunk.  It drives me insane.  I obviously didn't think this whole bunk bed deal thorugh sufficiently.

    2) Where we're you living when you were 20? In a little house with my BFF a few blocks off campus. It was good times :)
    3) Do you make the bed every morning? Nope. I went through a phase where I did, but not anymore.  I also never use a top sheet.
    4) What is on your desk? OMG you guys.  Here it is... maybe if I list it out it will inspire me to clean up (fyi, I work from home, so no one sees this) -
    - File box full of papers
    - Laptop, monitor, mousepad and mouse, phone
    - Mug of coffee
    - Wallet
    - Pencil box
    - Little lamp
    - Grass-scented candle
    - HP ornament thing
    - Good Omens and American Gods (don't even ask. I have no idea).
    - A spiral notebook
    - A pink Sharpie
    - An empty pill bottle from refilling a prescription
    - An empty Diet Coke can from yesterday
    - Nailpolish
    - A mini pack of tissues
    - A tape dispenser shaped like a zebra-print high heel (
    @MrsJenE !)
    - My passport
    - Antibacterial lotion
    - Eyedrops
    - My glasses case (no glasses, just the case).


    I think I need an intervention.

    3) Do you make the bed every morning? Almost never.  I don't put a top sheet on the bed because I always wind up just kicking it down the bottom.
    I did this for years. Not anymore, DH wants a top sheet.
    I also don't use a top sheet.  Just a quilt.

    90% of the time, I leave the house before mh.  He doesn't care about it and I really don't either so it's one less thing to fuss about.  I don't have throw pillows on my bed either.
