Forever in blue jeans

Do you make your bed everyday? Why or why not? (Prompt courtesy: me)

I absolutely do not make my bed ever. Never have, probably never will.

Does making your bed everyday cause you to feel like you have your life together? I wouldn’t know and I’m afraid to find out.

Afraid to find out ’cause what if it’s actually true and maybe I would have been a successful and wealthy brain surgeon had I made my mind up to tidy the covers every morning as I rose?

We’ll never know.

Currently obsessed with miniseries Love and Death that’s streaming on Crave. What a crazy story! And a true one. Which makes it even crazier.

It stars Mary Kate ‘n Ashley Olsen, I can’t tell them apart and don’t know who’s who so I just collectively call them both names.

I haven’t seen the Olsen twins since they were toddlers on Full House. She’s really unrecognizable and plays the part of the main character, frustrated housewife Candy Montgomery superbly.

The plot has been done a gazillion times: adultery, murder, done. But this takes place in the last years of the 1970’s so the clothes, the cars, and the home interiors are a sight to behold in my Gen X’er eyes. Not to mention the sunglasses, the hair and the music. It’s a walk down memory lane.

6th Bday – we usually chopped down & set up the tree on my birthday, this would be 1982

  1. So cute. Great bangs. 😀

    I love when I make the bed in the morning, like a gift to the me who will return home later. Doesn’t always happen though, and aside from that one effect, I don’t think it changes the world. hah

  2. I always make my bed even if messes are all around me having my bed made seems to have some calming effect that at least that square part of my life is complete. Of course throughout the day the dog and laundry take it over, but my grandma instilled that in me always make your bed…so I do. It’s funny I was born in 1979 and im positive I have picture with that same carpet wood panels and pea green appliances housed in the kitchen. I miss that easier flow we were lucky to experience. I hope you have an amazing day i enjoy reading your posts.

  3. Just wondering if this prompt was Inspired by the Navy admiral and his “make Your bed” speech.

    The reason he gives is that if you do nothing else that day, at least you’ve accomplished that.

      1. It was drilled into me around age 18 and reinforced through many years of barracks living. I believe I’d have a panic attack if I left my home in the morning with an unmade bed 😳.

      3. Different strokes and all that…. No moral connotation implied by such things. As my kiddo would say – “I’m getting back in it in a few hours.”

  6. I wouldn’t say I *make* my bed complelety, but I mostly straighten it out so it looks neat enough. Takes all of 10 seconds. Maybe that’s the story of my life 🙂
