On my mind...

I'm back on the subject of bed making, again. Apparently I have some compulsion to talk about bed making at least once a year. Almost two years ago was my first rant sulk about making my bed and then just the other day I blamed my out-of-the-blue thoughts on editing on my leaving my bed unmade. Today's totally random question is, if you don't make your bed, do you leave out your sleep attire...whatever it is? Do you put it away, hang it, hamper? What??? Do non-bed makers also leave out their jammies?

He's Just Not That in to You. We went to see this movie last weekend. Fantastic cast. Really. However, this movie was supposed to be funny and clever. Me? I was depressed afterward. If this is what dating and relationships are like now, well, blech! I sure am glad I'm not out there trying to date, hook up or whatever.

Things I did like: the Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin story line. They were both very good. I give an honorable mention to the Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston story line as well. Has anyone else seen this?

Equality Now. I'm still getting their newsletters but have been sadly lacking in posting updates or news. Things are horrid in Pakistan right now. It's actually terrifying to me how many places in the world women are mistreated as a normal every day consequence. It gives one pause when traveling. Some of the places I'm most curious about, like the Middle East, are the absolute worst places for women. Even though I don't post all the time I hope you will still give them a read and a thought now and again.

The Road Warriors and the Wounded Warrior Project. My sister finally got the donation page up for running group at her blog. If you want to donate to a great cause and inspire my sister and her friends to run go here and donate to the cause.

Edited To Add

I grew up in a military household. My Dad used acronyms all the time. ETA meant 'estimated time of arrival'. Heh. These days we all know it really means 'Edited to Add'.

I'm not so much with the adding, but I'm always editing. Lord only knows what errors you may have found in my writing, but believe it or not, I edit and polish my writing before I click 'publish'.

I do. Really.

I h-o-n-e.

Lately I've been trying to write a couple of days ahead so I can go back before I publish and look at what I've written with a fresh eye. At least that's the theory.

Why am I explaining all this? Well, I'd like to ask you something. Do you go back and edit your posts after you've published them? If you find an error after publishing do you correct it or leave it? What if you are suddenly struck with inspiration and have a better way of saying something, do you 'ETA' or just fix it and not mention the correction or change?

If you've been reading my posts for any length of time, you already know what I do. I go back of course. I can't just leave a misspelled word or incorrect verb tense once I know it's there, can I? That would be sooooo way not right.

*sigh*

These are the kinds of posts that happen when I don't make my bed. I think too much...about misteaks misstaches mistakes.

THIS = GOOD

THIS = BAD

Aaaargh!

I worked on a post listing books I've read recently and movies I've seen the last couple of weeks and my dsl dropped and I lost it all!!! Aargh! I had links, I had pictures. Man I'm boiled about that. Maybe I'll work on it later and post it tomorrow. I just know I'm too cranky to do it again now. I'm supposed to be on vacation. TGILW is home and everything.

So instead you get this. Do you make your bed every day? I do. Well, mostly. There is the occassional odd day when I just say, "I'm not making my bed today." Then I usually go back in a half hour later or when I return from my errands and make the damn thing. I blame this entirely on my mother by the way. You get up, wash up, dress for school, MAKE YOUR BED, then if there's time left before leaving you get breakfast. It's a curse I tell you.

Don't get me wrong. I like the bed being made. I prefer my sons to make their beds, which they do about 3 days a week when I nudge and nag. It's just feeling enslaved by it that gets me.

Here's my bed. Well, let's just say it's my bed sometimes. I have another duvet cover so my bed doesn't always look like this.

Sometimes it looks like this instead:

So, did you make your bed today?
