The Queen's Meme #37 ~ Under The Covers
The Queen’s Meme #37
I am still on hiatus this week on my other blogs but raised my head out of the bed long enough to write this meme for you. The prisoners in the dungeon are getting antsy for a chance to escape. And since the awesome company I had this weekend helped me feel a tad bit better, I thought I'd give them a shot at freedom. This should keep you busy for awhile.
Benevolence is my middle name.
Under The Covers Meme
(Read it and sleep)
1. Name 2 things you have done under the covers in the last week.
Snuggled, and I'm not telling what else.
2. Do you know what a woobie is? Do you have a special one?
What are you talking about Mime?
3. What prompts you to pull the covers over your head and hide from the world?
Only when I have had a really bad day.
4. Firm or soft?
I am the original princess and the pea, so my bed has to be just right or else I can't sleep. My dial a number is 70
5. Silk or flannel?
Definitely NOT flannel, but Egyptian cotton will do nicely. With silk you just slide out of the bed.
6. Lights on or off?
For sleep, I want the lights off.
7. Fan or no air?
I am hot, so give me the fan and air.
8. Completely dark or nite light?
I want total darkness to sleep.
9. Windows open or shut
Please close the windows. Have you seen the size of the mosquitoes in the south?
10. Sweet dreams or nightmares?
Usually bazaar and crazy nightmares.
11. PJ's or……
OR?
12. Set bedtime?
I try to keep a set time, but stuff happens. Like last night my neighbors had a huge and loud party. I didn't get to sleep until one because my eyeballs were still shakin from the DJ.
13. What do sheep count when they can't sleep?
Do they count people?
14. What does your alarm clock sound like?
Meow. meow, meow or ruff, ruff, ruff.
15. White noise or music
NEITHER!
16. TV or IPod?
NEITHER...total silencee
17. Can you recall a pleasant dream you'd like to share?
Why yes, I can share a lovely dream with you. I dreamed that my sister and I were having Christmas with my deceased in laws, except we were their children. My FIL was German and he was helping us make Christmas ornaments for the tree. It was really sweet.
18. Under the covers or outside the covers
Outside the covers.
19. Insomniac or sleep angel?
Insomniac to the ninth degree.
20. What is your favorite sleep aid for those tossin' and turnin' nights?
I don't think I can answer that question! Use your imagination. LOL!
21. Morning person or night person
I have become a morning person, but my ideal time would be to stay up late and get up late,but the world does not run on my time schedule.
22. Bedtime snack?
No, thank you.
23. Hot or cold room
I like a cold room for sleep.
24. Bedtime ritual?
Of course I have a ritual. I start calming down about nine o'clock. I don't do anything that will make me think i.e. budget or bill paying is a sure way to loose sleep or staying on the computer.
25. Twin, Queen, King, Bunk or Futon
King size bed
26. Socks or naked feet
Nekked feet
27. Bedroom door locked or unlocked?
Unlocked door. All the kids are grown up and gone.
28. Tent or hotel room
I would like a cabin, but we camped out when we were young. We weathered a hurricane in Florida for our honeymoon.
29. If you could be bored to sleep, what would bore you?
Yawn...Zzzzzzzzz...no offense. Just saying
30. Prayers or mantra?
Prayers
31. What was the worst nightmare you ever had?
I dreamed that huge buildings were exploding long before 911.
32. Please share any ideas on how to stop a person from snoring.
I'm all ears.
Just a few things that have worked for me...keep punching their shoulder until they roll over. Don't let them sleep on their back. Close their mouths or go to the spare bedroom. My personal favorite is I use ear plugs. You can't hear a thing.
33. If one purely pleasant thought could ensure fast and sound deep sleep for you every night, what would your one thought be?
Don't worry, be happy!
34. How many hours do you normally sleep?
On a good night six hours.
35. Thunderstorms or quiet starry night?
Starry night, but not a full moon. The light keeps me up.
36. Warm bath or hot shower?
If I had a decent tub, I would take a nice candle lite bath.
37. What is the craziest thing that ever happened in your bed?
Once again, I'm not saying...
38. Name a song you could fall asleep to.
Some oldies like Karen Carpenter or Tony Bennet
39. Who last told you a bedtime story?
My grand daughter

Interesting post. Since I have a hard time sleeping, I generally try not to think about it. I try to sleep late, but the pup won't let me. He's all about peeing, barking, eating and going for a walk as soon as the sun comes up. If I ignore him, he removes the covers and whines. Ugh.
I've got a meow meow alarm clock as well. Fun answers.
Good answers....i have the same alarm clocks...
Rudee, that is what my dogs and cats do. They don't like to sleep late.
I am glad that Leo is doing so well, especially after the yarn fiasco!
Jamie, Yes, indeed they are good alarm clocks! LOL!
You should see the mosquitoes in Wisconsin!
With silk you just slide out of the bed...
ha ha.. that's happened to me!
Great answers. I like your alarm clock!
Shannon, I never would have thought that you had mosquitos up north.
We lived in Ohio when my hubs was in the service and there were no bugs. I loved it.
Dawn, hahaha! You slide off too? How are you doing? I have started closing the door to keep the cats out of our bedroom. Just too much cat hair and I can't deal with it all over my house.
I do miss sleeping with my furry cat because she cuddles so good, but Hubs cat just walks all over us at night. I hate to wake up to him kneeding my side. Arg!
Thank you Pam for sharing and all your encouraging comments to me as well. Blessings to you.
Great answers Pam, we had a lot the same. Loved the last one, bet your granddaughter loves reading to you :)
