What Makes Regular Folk? - Page 2

Okiebug61 · 06-15-2011, 06:00 PM

Red and I are about as regular as one should ever want to be..LOL. We drove to Dallas last night so I could put her on a plane to Mt Vernon and then go back to pick her up this Saturday to start our summer vacation including my aunt and uncle then a week from Saturday I drop her off at DFW again to go back to Mt Vernon. Then she will be home on the 2nd of July and off again on July 5th. You might ask what makes this so regular? She is a school teacher and travels every summer to be better at what she does. Oh the real regular part is while she is traveling all over the place I have a honey do list that grows day by day :-). I miss her but when she is gone I get my list done a lot faster.

Sometimes my world revolves around poop. Does this make me regular or weird?

I work at a vet hospital we've got it there and when I come home there's lots more. I clean the cat boxes and take the dogs out - pick up after their business, cause you know they like to drop it like it's hawt. Oh... and as far as household chores are divided; I'm the official toilet bowel scrubber. (I do a most excellent job, I may add!)

I'll supply more (much needed, I'm sure) information to support my case for regular later. There's dinner to be made.. .and, and . ..

Corkey · 06-15-2011, 07:21 PM

Wake up somewhere between 11 and noon on days Ami works, 2-3 PM on weekends. Second shifters here.
Get our collective meds together
clean cat boxes, yes plural
get the girl off to work
wake the hella up
depending on the day, mow, laundry, dishes, we don't do a lot of dishes due to dishwasher.
read emails
spend some time here
play the FT
do some projects when I can
go to the gym when I'm able
play with semi awake cats
eat
clean cat boxes again
go to bed somewhere between midnight and 2-3 AM
do it all ovah again.

I start my day with coffee and the three S's

Apocalipstic · 06-16-2011, 02:48 PM

I usually have a couple of cups pof coffee when I wake up, a cup at 9:30 or 10 at work, a cup after lunch and if I am sleepy a cup at 2.

In the evenings I try to go decaf.

I drinks at least 8 glasses of water a day.

and

I am happiest with 8-9 hours of sleep a night.

I also enjoy floating in the pool!

Fancy · 06-16-2011, 05:36 PM

I stand at parades when the American flag goes by.
I also applaud when service members and veterans march by (no matter what my views on war are).

I sit on my front porch in the evenings; sometimes with a beer. I grumble at people who speed on my road and kids who cut through my yard.

girl_dee · 06-16-2011, 07:22 PM

I've been wandering around the last few days, thinking about what regular folk is.

I ain't it.

Kenna · 06-16-2011, 07:38 PM

I wear my Tshirt and Bluejeans just like any other regular folk...

I have grandparents, parents, "my other parents", children, nieces, brothers and sisters, friends and dear loved ones that I appreciate more than any riches in the world.

Rockinonahigh · 06-16-2011, 08:10 PM

scootebaby · 06-16-2011, 08:16 PM

try to start my day with a V8
turn on Trutv to watch the Casey Anthony trial

yep pretty regular to me!

Mister Bent · 06-16-2011, 08:30 PM

Sometimes I have to talk to my dog in a really firm voice.

JustJo · 06-17-2011, 07:20 AM

My life is quite exotic....

I work from home so I spend entirely too much time in my pajamas.

The rest of my day frequently revolves around food.....feeding animals, feeding kids, cleaning up from feeding animals and kids, shopping for food to feed animals and kids...

I clean the pool....do some housework (but not as much as I should)....plan to work in the yard far more than I do....play online.....watch TV.....read a book on my kindle....clean the cat box.....

Yep, pretty exotic stuff.

Lynn · 06-17-2011, 09:15 AM

What makes me regular folk:

I generally wait until the last minute for everything.

I am on a diet, yet my car is filled with junk food wrappers.

My evening often starts with Jeopardy, and I know some of the answers. Enough to impress my partner, but not enough to get on the show.

If I see a hairball floating on the floor, sometimes I pick it up and sometimes I just watch it.

I worry about money most of the time. Sometimes it's warranted.

I'm getting married in October and I spend a lot of time thinking and planning, to the detriment of other things.

I love to go on day trips to see historic places and museums in the area. Along with other regular folk.

MsTinkerbelly · 06-17-2011, 02:25 PM

Tonight my daughter is going to be gone until late, so I am going to go home and make some scrambled eggs, put my feet up, watch a little TV, and wait for my Honey to get off of work. We will either watch a movie, go to a movie, or take a doggie for a walk.

Yep, just plain regular folk!

turasultana · 06-17-2011, 03:04 PM

rest
play

Leigh · 06-17-2011, 03:07 PM

My 13 year old son got a new phone today. He texted me nonstop while sitting right beside me on the couch. I explained that the whole point in having the phone is to text and call me when he is NOT with me...then I threatened to throw it in the creek if he didn't stop. I think that makes me pretty regular, at least mom-wise...lol

CherryFemme · 06-17-2011, 04:45 PM

To borrow from Camelot,

I whistle, sing and dance.

~CF

GUENEVERE
What do the simple folk do
To help them escape when they\'re blue?
The shepard who is ailing, the milkmaid who is glum
The cobbler who is wailing from nailing his thumb
When they\'re beset and besieged
The folk not noblessly obliged
However do they manage to shed their weary lot?
Oh, what do simple folk do we do not?

ARTHUR
I have been informed by those who know them well
They find relief in quite a clever way
When they\'re sorely pressed, they whistle for a spell
And whistling seems to brighten up their day
And that\'s what simple folk do
So they say
