Nocturnal Newscoma

Ahh to be young with the wind in my hair and to sleep and dream of innocence. I’ve been tagged so I will oblige Hollywood Ron who has asked me to participate in this meme.

I think I’m supposed to list six things I do before I hit the hay every night.

  • I usually go to the bathroom. Umm, I think that’s a standard for most everyone.
  • I really hate messy bedsheets but then again, I hate making the bed. Each and every night I go through a jumbled thought process as both of these issues collide. Most evenings, I end up straightening the bed sheets out. I am a failure at neatness.
  • I look for Mabel the infamous and Duff, the smelly dog. They tend to go to bed with me at night. I sort of feel weird after years of this occurring if I don’t know where they are. The blind dog, Kirby, sleeps in my recliner at night. It is her way.
  • I hate wearing pants or socks to bed. Hate it. I do not like being tangled up.
  • I usually have to stick my leg out from under the sheets and comforter, as it works as some sort of thermometer for me for some weird reason.
  • I used to like to go to sleep with classical music playing softly in the room. I really hate to sleep with the television on. I am too ADD to not watch it, but I took my CD player to work. I guess I need to bring it back because there is nothing like a little Mozart playing in the background as you are counting sheep.

So, I played nice. Didn’t give away all my secrets because, you know, there, ummm, secret, and I guess I’m supposed to tag people. I actually kind of dig getting tagged, but I know some people don’t. So I’ll tag some folks anyway. I’m going to go with Squirrel Queen, LeBlanc, Lindsey, Wyldebrat, Elizabeth and Freezertroll.

    I was wondering earlier why that nickname has stuck, then I remembered my email address and felt like a dope.
