I have been tagged by my new mutually curly-headed friend who is a Mexican-American married to a German and learning German at TFLI, while I am a Mutt-American learning Spanish at TFLI from a Mexican who is married to a German (did ya follow that? It’s all true!)
Ok, here are 6 Weird Things I Do Getting Ready for Sleep (or while sleeping)…
- I wash the face (uh, most nights, that is), brush the toofers, and, as a public service to my fellow man, I take all of my meds. Gotta have the meds or GingerSnaps might turn into Snapping Ginger (with major hot flashes and a beard).
- Put on a big cotton t-shirt. No Vicki’s Secret for me…it’s comfort all the way.
- I arrange my pillows as follows: one on the left, one on the right, one for my head, and one small one underneath the head pillow toward the bedboard for me to rest my arm on when I’m sleeping on my stomach. It’s my own personal cocoon!
- Snuggle with daughter as she lays her head on my chest.
- After daughter’s asleep, it’s Sex And The City. The TV show. Not the real thing. Sigh.
- I have 2 alarm clocks. One across by my bed and one across the room. I set the alarm by my bed for exactly 27 minutes before I have to get up so I can reach and hit snooze exactly 3 times (since snooze comes back on every 9 minutes). I set the one across the room at exactly 5 minutes after the last snooze by my bed. It’s complicated, yes, but it works for me…most of the time.
See? I have it all down to a science! Hey, I never said I was simple…
Oh wait! I’m supposed to tag others…my mind is blank right now, because I’m about to go to sleep. Can I do a reverse-tag and just say how interesting I thought these two were? hee

“Mine, interesting?” he mumbles as he drags out of bed from a 5-hour nap. “Can’t be.”
“Snapping Ginger with major hot flashes and a beard”…
I’ll take “Bad Visual” for $1,000… Alex!
I, like, tagged you first, Missy.
The alarm clock saga you have going is amazing!
This is so much of the fun.
