Re: A TMI / Are you Normal? Poll
How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom
Deep cleaning on Saturdays - but I wipe down the sink several times a week. I shed everywhere, so I'm always dustbusting the floors! I make DH clean "his" bathroom upstairs haha
2. Wear makeup
Whenever I leave the house! I'm so pale without makeup!
3. Get "busy" with DH
About 1-2 times a week lately...
4. Go on "dates" with DH
About once a month, we'll do a little outing like dinner or a movie (we're just trying so hard to save money, so we don't go out much anymore) But we like to take long walks together so we can spend uninterrupted time together...
5. Clean out your refrigerator
Every time I go food shopping, when the fridge is kinda empty, I wipe down the shelves... so weekly?
1. Clean your bathroom - A little clean up every day...deep cleaning at least once a week.
2. Wear makeup- Lately it has been 5 days out of the week. The two that I don't, don't really fall on particular days. They are just days that I don't feel like it.
3. Get "busy" with DH - Three or four times a week typically. It usually depends on his work schedule.
4. Go on "dates" with DH - Once a week if we can, but it doesn't always work out because of his schedule. At least one every two weeks.
5. Clean out your refrigerator - Its a continual clean out...if I go in and I see something gross and I toss it.
How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom... not enough! I do bits and pieces every week so eventually it gets clean...just not at the same time!
2. Wear makeup.....almost always. Only time is Saturday usually.
3. Get "busy" with DH...um maybe once a week...we really suck in this department. It would help if we were on the same schedule
4. Go on "dates" with DH...once every 2 weeks. We've been trying to work on this.
5. Clean out your refrigerator...when I see something that needs to be wiped down I just do it. Gets a good cleaning a couple times a year.
Shmel's Blog
1. Clean your bathroom I swear I try once a week, but realistically it's once every two weeks. That is gross, and now I'm embarrassed.
2. Wear makeup Mon-Fri at work I always wear all my makeup, weekends I usually throw on some blush and mascara and I'm good unless we're going out to dinner or something
3. Get "busy" with DH Uhhhh... we've been in a bit of a funk lately but generally once a week. I wish it was more but our jobs make that a little unrealistic.
4. Go on "dates" with DH Every weekend we go out to dinner, sometimes just us and sometimes a double date w/ our neighbors. Then we usually spend one weekend day hanging out, cooking, walking the dog, etc.
5. Clean out your refrigerator What Mel said!
How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom I give it a quick wipe down every few days and it gets fully cleaned by our housekeeper once every 2 weeks
2. Wear makeup Every day, I have bad skin so don't leave home without at least a little foundation
3. Get "busy" with DH Usually once or twice each weekend, more often if it's my ovulation time or we're on vacation
4. Go on "dates" with DH Not as often as we used to due to $$$, but we try to at least once every couple weeks
5. Clean out your refrigerator I toss things as I see them, but usually when we go grocery shopping I will do a bigger purge
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
1. Clean your bathroom I try to wipe down at least the sink every week, the rest gets done a little less than that
2. Wear makeup only for special occasions or if I'm going on an interview
3. Get "busy" with DH We try for once a week at least, sometimes more, sometimes less
4. Go on "dates" with DH Not as often as we used to due to $$$, but we try to at least once every couple weeks (ditto Lori)
5. Clean out your refrigerator whenever I see something that needs to go, and I do the bigger clean out every 2 weeks when I go groccery shopping
How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom: Once a week sometimes it goes a little longer.
2. Wear makeup I don't wear a lot of makeup so maybe 5 days a week...and that's just mascara & eyeliner and a little concealer.
3. Get "busy" with DH This is different all the time depending on schedules but usually once a week sometimes more..it averages about 5 or 6 times a month.
4. Go on "dates" with DH We try for one or two a month.
5. Clean out your refrigerator I can be really horrible about this, usually DH does the spot cleaning, but it gets a good top to bottom cleaning twice a year (by me
)
1. Clean your bathroom Well we have our "own" bathrooms. So I deep clean mine every two weeks but I'm WAY less gross then DH haha but I do a spot clean in between if guests are coming aka clean the sink/counter and the toilet.
2. Wear makeup Nearly every day. Normally conceiler, powder, and blush and sometimes I add on the eyes.
3. Get "busy" with DH Not often enough by his standards I'm sure...once a week....
4. Go on "dates" with DH In the last couple of weeks we've gone pretty often like once a week even twice this past weekend. However we try and do it once a month or once every other week to save money.
5. Clean out your refrigerator If it looks gross I toss it but I do a big clean when DH isn't home he'll eat something WAY longer into its shelf life then I will! If you mean scrub it....ummmm...yea not often!
1. Clean your bathroom: I wipe down the sink everyday of our master bath cause that's the one DH mainly uses and once a week i do a top to bottom cleaning of all three bathrooms
2. Wear makeup: When we are going out somewhere that doesn't involve groceries. Usually just mascara and some blush
3. Get "busy" with DH: We do it everyday and sometimes it ends up being 3 times a day if he doesn't have to work lol. Gosh we are like horny teenagers loool
4. Go on "dates" with DH: Every two weeks we will try for something even if it's just a quick dinner somewhere
5. Clean out your refrigerator: Umm i toss things here and there when i see it's time and about three weeks i pull everything out and give it a good cleaning
DX: MFI
Taking a break from being poked and prodded
1. Clean your bathroom: I clean the two bathrooms most used once a week and will spot clean inbetween. The third bathroom gets cleaned less often because it is hardly used.
2. Wear makeup: Never. The last time I wore makeup was my wedding day. I may wear some for the holidays though.
3. Get "busy" with DH: Not as often as I would like.
4. Go on "dates" with DH: Maybe once or twice a month. We don't have the money to spend right now.
5. Clean out your refrigerator: I throw out stuff when I am going to run to the dishwasher. I wipe the shelves probably once a month or more if needed.
1. Clean your bathroom Not as often as I should . . .once every two weeks or so, with spot cleanings between. Last time I let it go for a month and DH didn't notice at all, before or after it was cleaned! :-P
2. Wear makeup Rarely . . I probably "should" but I figure as I get older I'll need to wear it, so I'll save myself the time and energy while I'm young!
3. Get "busy" with DH Normally once a week or so, though this week twice in 2 days! :-) Hehe TMI I'm sure!
4. Go on "dates" with DH Not as often as I'd like- I tend to plan meals and so we don't spend much $ going out. MIL takes us out with the kids to eat once a week to give me a break from cooking and she gets to see us, (sometimes I wish it was every other week!
) so we get our share of dinners out. Maybe once a mo or every other month?
5. Clean out your refrigerator Once a week I dump food out, it stays pretty "clean" meaning spots and visibly dirty so maybe every few months I'll wipe it out.
April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom definitly before anyone comes over and between then every week to week and a half.
2. Wear makeup not too often. Normally, I'd say just if going out to eat or wanting to look cute for some reason. I've been wearing it more recently bc I'm pretty pale and dealing w/ the chubbiness, it's nice to try to look a little bit more put together.
3. Get "busy" with DH Pre pregnancy 2-3 times a week which still wasn't enough for me
Sometimes it'd be more which was great! It's gone seriously downhill now but that's ok since it's pretty uncomfortable with this big ol belly! I'm hoping for it to get back to normal in the spring!
4. Go on "dates" with DH Every week we set aside time to do something with just the two of us. Sometimes thats just hanging out on the couch watching tv, other times it's going out and doing something fun. Regardless, we can count on our day together. Of course we spend lots of time together the rest of the week, but that days is reserved for just us, no friends.
5. Clean out your refrigerator My husband actually is the one who cleans out the fridge. If I see something getting gross I'll toss it out, but he does a thorough cleaning usually every week to two weeks depending on what is in there. I'll take everything out and wash it top to bottom every couple months.
How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom you seriously don't want to know. It's DH's job because I don't clean bathrooms.
2. Wear makeup Every day. I won't leave the house without it on.
3. Get "busy" with DH At least 2-3 a week. Sometimes life just gets in the way.
4. Go on "dates" with DH Once every couple of months for a real date. I assume that random dinners at fast food joints don't count.
5. Clean out your refrigerator At least once a month. I can't stand it when I can't find anything!
Just a random poll for fun... How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom Weekly. Every Saturday, unless it desperately needs it before then!
2. Wear makeup Only on the days I audit or have a meeting, then when we go out on weekends
3. Get "busy" with DH Once or twice a week!
It used to be 3-4 times a week until "life happened," or we got married and fell into the family trap and daily routine thing.
4. Go on "dates" with DH Once or twice a month, depending on the schedule of events and how broke we are
5. Clean out your refrigerator Heh - haven't done it yet since we moved
2. Wear makeup every now and then...mostly when DH and I go out. Sometimes I will wear it to work if I actually get up with time to spare.
3. Get "busy" with DH It usually is 3-4 times a week, but with everything that has happened in the last two weeks, I think we have only got busy once..
4. Go on "dates" with DH We have date night once a week...even if it is just putting a movie in at home and playing board games...
5. Clean out your refrigerator I go through it every Wednesday night to toss expired food. Deep cleaning happens every couple of months.
2. Wear makeup Pretty much every day, but not a lot, just foundation and some eye makeup
3. Get "busy" with DH It probably averages about 2 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. life and stress dont help.
4. Go on "dates" with DH Maybe 2 times a month, we really need to be better about this.
5. Clean out your refrigerator I normally go through on trash day and clean things out, so once a week. Wiping down I do if it looks like it needs it.
How often do you....
1. Clean your bathroom
I'm manic about a clean toilet/sink area, so I keep clorox bathroom wipes in the cabinet and I wipe down every couple of days or as needed. The bigger jobs in there I leave for the maid service's regular visits...
2. Wear makeup
Surprisingly, almost never anymore! Which is crazy because I used to be this glamour girl who had on a face (even a quick "5 minute face") before thinking about leaving the second floor in the mornings! Nowdays, I will wear make up for a special occasion, but mostly I just do mascara and lipstick/gloss...nothing else!
3. Get "busy" with DH
We're mostly "weekenders", due to work schedules (mostly his!), but when Friday rolls around, look out!!!...lol
4. Go on "dates" with DH
Not as much as I'd like...it's that scheduling thing again. H has nightshift every 3rd weekend, and between family visits and trying to take care of errands/household things on the other weekends, we don't "date" nearly as much as we used to. But we do get to spend a lot of time together at home, and I have to admit, I'd rather be home with Hubby and my doggies on the couch in the family room than be anywhere else :-)
5. Clean out your refrigerator
Would need to ask H about that one...Stacy "don't do" kitchen work - dishes, trash or fridges...I only cook :-)
3. Get "busy" with DH: 3 times a week typically4. Go on "dates" with DH: we try for once a week
5. Clean out your refrigerator: um. . .
