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. :)
