what, i'm alive?
i'll have you know that i'm tired & want to sleep ... but instead i'm feeding your desire for some 'becca bloggin'! (hey - did you know that blogger now saves your drafts automatically? that's very kind.) so now i expect you to show your gratitude for my bloggin' by posting this survey on your site, too. i mean, what better way to come back to the bloggin' world than with a survey?
the "no questions about work" survey ...
1. what time do you get up on the weekend? i can still sleep until 11a.m. pretty easily. i try to do that whenever possible. :)
2. do you spend more time inside or outside on the weekends? inside.
3. do you spend more time in your front yard or your back yard? front yard.
4. do you mow your own yard? i did when i was younger.
5. do you have landscaping/flowers in your yard? where? we have daffodils, tulips, irises, lilies and lilacs in front of the house. more irises and daffodils on the side. other plants/flowers in the back including a snowball bush & a couple of hydrangea bushes.
6. what did you do last weekend? slept in. ate some sausage. hit my head on a house. met brody. watched julie buy a digital camera. bought some cute black capris. played some bunco. hugged some good friends. ate a fabulous mom-made sunday dinner, went for a walk. ate some pasta salad. went to bed by 10:15 (which isn't happenining tonight. ugh, i'm tired). that list isn't all inclusive.
7. what do you plan to do this coming weekend? i'm not sure yet. i do plan to spend a fair amount of time riding my new bike, which i plan to buy tomorrow. and i got 2000 soda bottle caps in the mail last week, so i plan to string some of those into jewelry. and i have a serious need to do some quilting.
8. describe your "dream weekend": one that never ends? :) i'd say a weekend on the shore somewhere. not necessarily a sandy beach getting sun ... but somewhere i can hear the waves crashing as i take photos.
9. to make a three-day weekend would you rather have friday or monday off? friday. when i take off monday i feel like i'm a day behind when i walk in the door. next week i'll be off monday (holiday) and tuesday (personal day) just to extend the weekend & ride my bike (april's taking tuesday off, too, so we can ride together). i'll feel buried on wednesday, but i think it will be worth it.
10. would you work four 10-hour days to have a three-day weekend every weekend? yes. i think that would be grand.
11. what time do you go to bed on the weekend? late, usually. i like to squeeze every moment out of the weekend possible.
11. is your bedroom at the front or back of the house? front, but it's in the basement. (why are there two 11s?)
12. are you a light sleeper or sleep like a log? i usually sleep like a log. if i'm sleeping somewhere new it will take me awhile to get to sleep ... but once i'm asleep, i'm out.
13. how about your bedmate? my pillow usually sleeps like a log, too. (bedmate? i don't think i've ever heard that word.)
14. how many times a night do you get up to pee? usually once. sometimes twice.
15. do you turn on a light for number 14? no. well, i do in the bathroom ... but not getting to the bathroom.
16. who's the first person up in your house on the weekends? my mom.
17. what's the first thing you do when you get up on the weekend? smile because my alarm clock isn't telling me to go to work.
granted, this survey assumes you don't work on the weekends. but still, it had some questions i hadn't seen before. and you know i love a good survey. but seriously, if others don't anwer these questions, i may never blog again. or something like that. :)

I am so glad you are back! Life can return to normal! :0)
holy crap, you're alive. i've been having withdrawl... all your fault. i'll send my rehab bill to your address.
Finally! I've missed you! And I've already reposted the survey on my blog. I'm doing my part to keep you here!
Woo Hoo! You're back! I don't think I've ever done a survey on a blog before, but for you......as long as you don't disappear again.....I'm going to try. I'll post it as a blog message on http://www.myspace.com/melbeamer
Talk to you soon!
Love you and Welcome back!
've changed my mind...I'm gonna post it here instead of myspace. I think it will be easier for some of you to see since you won't need a myspace account to read it here.
the "no questions about work" survey ...
1. what time do you get up on the weekend? It depends on what time the puppies go to bed the night before. Usually I'm up around 6 even on the weekends because they have this crazy internal clock, but then I can go back to sleep until about 9 or so....that's when that internal clock says it's time to eat....
2. do you spend more time inside or outside on the weekends? Outside ---- I love being outside!
3. do you spend more time in your front yard or your back yard? I'm normally in the back yard since it's fenced in for the pups (I never realized how my life is becoming a bit dependent on the pups...hmm....I'm not sure about it)
4. do you mow your own yard? Sometimes I pay someone to do it because we get sooooo busy, but Dan has been keeping up with it so far this year.
5. do you have landscaping/flowers in your yard? where? This is a funny question! The other day I came home from the gym to find that the landscaping we did have was chopped down to the ground. It was overgrown and ugly (in my opinion), so Dan got rid of everything except a tree in our front yard. The plan is to get some new stuff, but for now it's very empty.
6. what did you do last weekend? Recovered from a long, fun, exhausting week training in Milwaukee for my new job. Well, maybe not as much recovery as I would have liked since we did go to my Mom's Lake House with my cousin and our puppies. It was a good time, though. Oh, and I did go to church Sunday before napping for the majority of the day.
7. what do you plan to do this coming weekend? A friend, Thomas J, is coming to town. There is a lot going on in Lou for the Memorial Day Weekend, so I'm sure we'll find something to do. He's a big music fan and so is Dan, so I bet it will include a trip to Ear X-tacy... http://www.earx-tacy.com.
8. describe your "dream weekend": Hmm...I've some good ones in the past and I can think of so many ways to make a "dream weekend"... one that I wish I was participating in this summer would be listening to some really great music at Bonnarro. http://www.bonnaroo.com
9. to make a three-day weekend would you rather have friday or monday off? Friday, for sure. I have had several years of not working on Fridays in the past when I could hit my sales numbers in a 4 day week, but over the last year I haven't had that option. Friday is a great day to have off...any week!
10. would you work four 10-hour days to have a three-day weekend every weekend? YES!!! I'm going to try that in the near future, once I get up and going on my new job....we'll see....
11. what time do you go to bed on the weekend? Depends on the weekend. A lot of times we have house guests and we stay up late depending on who is here. I remember one recent weekend where I stayed up with a friend until after Dan woke up to get ready for work the next day....fun times!
11. is your bedroom at the front or back of the house? Side/Back --- it's off the left side of the great room which is directly off the entry...does that make sense?
12. are you a light sleeper or sleep like a log? My tempur-pedic matterss helps me sleep like a log. I used to toss and turn (and I still do when I sleep anywhere other than my own bed), but this mattress has been a great investment. http://www.tempurpedic.com/
13. how about your bedmate? Same story about the mattress. Dan used to move A LOT and have trouble breathing, but not anymore. His back pain is much better, too, considering he has scoliosis.
14. how many times a night do you get up to pee? Zero - and I normally pay for it in the morning with major bladder cramps while I'm running for the "ter lit"
15. do you turn on a light for number 14? Once I finally get there, no.
16. who's the first person up in your house on the weekends? The puppies or Dan if he has to work on Saturday (he gets up at 2:50 those days)
17. what's the first thing you do when you get up on the weekend? Pee, then get some juice and relax on the sofa with either a good movie or my laptop.
granted, this survey assumes you don't work on the weekends. but still, it had some questions i hadn't seen before. and you know i love a good survey. but seriously, if others don't anwer these questions, i may never blog again. or something like that. :)
