I don't think anyone likes the covers off, then on, then off again. At least I don't. I just can't get comfortable.
I wouldn't say that I LIKE them on and then off and then on again. But I can say that I will kick them off in the night and wake up feeling approximately like a pop-sicle and pull them back on. This happens multiple times.
Funny....I like a blanket, even in the summer, but my legs and feet hang out. Just my torso gets covered. Well......until they get cold.

I don't know how many times I've thrown the covers off 'cause I was too warm, only to wake up with my teeth chattering and quickly pulling them back on (after wrestling them away from Jeremy).
This happens pretty regularly at least twice a month...
I do the covers on, covers off thing all the time. I get hot and take them off...then I freeze and pull them on. But I can't do only a body part...it needs to cover all of me.

lol
I like kicking the feet out. I also hate the flat sheet tucked in really tight. I need space. Space damnit!
I like to be covered all the way up to my neck.
MrsJoseph wrote: "I like to be covered all the way up to my neck."Me too. Except when I get warm.
Last night I had a weird arrangement where I had the sheet covering everything, but the comforter was to the side and just covering certain areas.
It was a very tossy-turny night...
My first thought when my alarm went off this morning was, "I hate today."

I woke up about 2:30am feeling ill - was completely ill for about 30 mins. Today is testing me.
Aww :(I kept waking up all night thinking it was the longest night ever... Yet I woke up feeling refreshed, though I guess that might be related to the way I got woken up :)
When it comes to covers, I tend to very depending how warm I am. If I get too warm under the blanket I'll stick out a leg or 2 depending on the temperature.

MrsJoseph wrote: "I like to be covered all the way up to my neck."In colder months, I like the covers all the way over my head. I still kick them off a few times in the night and wake up freezing. Plus I have to fight with two dogs for blanket. Dang dogs. They better be glad they are cute little ba*t**ds.
Any blankets that touch the floor gets Benji butt all over it.
Ok I'm gonna warn you guys now. Rant incoming! But I just need to vent... so, I'm sorry O.oRight now I am slightly annoyed... Went by parents-in-law on Sunday and they mentioned that they would come over and take us out for dinner some time this week. As usual they are unable to actually let us know which day.
I will not surprise me if they just turn up at the door.
Somehow it is difficult for them to understand we might want to make other plans as well, and it would be nice to have a general idea of when this dinner will happen...
Should I make dinner today? Or not? It's pretty much guaranteed that if I do they will turn up 10 minutes later...
*frustrated*
sorry, rant over... :p
Now please excuse me while I go bang my head against a brick wall :p

That's so annoying. :(
My aunt is great for stuff like that. Arrrg.
I'm looking forward to living in a different country from them... At least they can't come on surprise visits then ;)Don't get me wrong, they are great people, but just completely unable to plan things ahead more then 5 minutes...

I know the feels. :)
Apparently they are on their way here now..*facepalm*
The worst thing is that I get so annoyed by this that I don't enjoy spending time with them

Well, the wait is over.

that wasn't me, it was Doodle.
Sometimes my perception of quotes is not that good. :)Hope you survived DoodlePanda.
Kobo is driving me crazy today.I had to call them to get my shipping info for my reader - they never sent an email like they said.
Then I go to see if I can d/l the windows client and learn that the only "app" available is for windows 8. And I have 7.
Ugh. This really makes me reconsider not using nook or kindle. But I dont wanna use nook or kindle. :(
I made it! :pIt wasn't so bad, just needed to get over being annoyed
DoodlePanda wrote: "I made it! :pIt wasn't so bad, just needed to get over being annoyed"
Good.
@MrsJ - I hope they sort it out soon! No fun having to wait :(
waiting is the hardest part of buying online. I bought my kobo at a brick and mortar book store...which seems kinda wrong, but they assured me that a portion of my purchases would be shared with the bookstore of my choice, so I was mollified.Gonna post some unboxing photos MrsJ?
DoodlePanda wrote: "@MrsJ - I hope they sort it out soon! No fun having to wait :("Finally received a tracking number (still no email). It's supposed to be delivered on Monday. See, this is why they have no traction here: Amazon would have delivered a reader within 1 day. I can walk into any B&N and buy a nook. There's no place to buy a Kobo in any store around here.
Still can't locate a desktop client for Win7.

There is no local bookstores here - except a single B&N. I have to go to a different city/county for that. So mostly I buy online - the B&N is out of the way.
Re: unboxing
Now that you mention, maybe I will. ;-) I normally get so excited when I get a new toy that I just tear into it. LOL!
Heh. I have to leave the state.
Chris wrote: "Heh. I have to leave the state."O_O
Heh. For the next closest one, I have to leave the Eastern time zone.
Chris wrote: "Heh. For the next closest one, I have to leave the Eastern time zone."WOW.
Just...wow.
Really Chris?!That sucks. I live within walking distance from a Barnes and a Comic Book Store. It's nice to be close to everything but I'd also like to spend some time in a place where you can actually see the stars at night.
Well, truth is, I live in the SW corner of Georgia, so Tallahassee, Florida is the closest city of any size. Next closest is Dothan, Alabama, which is across the line that divides EST and CST. They're about 45 and 60 minutes away, respectively.
Hmmm....Chris....so you live near the border?;)
I'm mad at my husband.He bought the new Minecraft for XBox One over the weekend.. I had never seen / played Minecraft and thought it looked totally stupid. He made me try it.. And now I'm totally addicted. We cancelled all plans and spent 2 days straight playing it.
And then I dreamed about it.
And woke up wanting to play more of it.
Bah!
For real.I really needed to clean the house over the weekend. Instead, I built a house out of squares of wood. And sheared sheep to get wool so I could create wall to wall carpeting. And mined for ore so I could craft armor so the fricken baddies would stop killing me.
I though Minecraft looked stupid until I tried it too...So much stuff that you can do with it as well, with mods and such...
I haven't played it in a while, kinda want to play it again now...
I am even sadder in that I am addicted to watching the Yogscast play Minecraft (and other games) on youtube...
Yep, Minecraft looks totally addictive. Thankfully I haven't started playing it.
