This is my first time spending an extended period of time with a roommate in a hotel room and GOOD LORD it takes her over an hour to get ready for bed and there's no shower involved. It's all lotion, flossing, powder, face treatments.....etc. I have never been one for nightly rituals. Personally I basically peel myself off the couch and take out my contacts and go to sleep.

This routine of hers boggles my mind... so it forced me to ask.... How long does it take you to get ready for bed and if it's a long time what the hell do you do and why?

    i just sorta pass out. not from drinking ( at least not all the time ). but i'll be reading , or writing something, or watching a movie, or spinning a record, and just doze.

    so no routine. i just stay awake until i cant keep my eyes open anymore and then pass out.
    Peace, Love.

    Toothbrushing
    Contacts removal
    Farting
    Reading
    Undressing

    The order can change, but they all feature at some point.

    Personally I basically peel myself off the couch and take out my contacts and go to sleep.

    same here except for the contacts
  • Usually I take my contacts out and change into my loungin' shorts when we put our son to bed earlier, so when it's time for me to go to bed, I...

    get off the couch
    let the dogs out
    turn the lights out/lock the doors
    go upstairs and go to bed

    was like a picture

    I sit down with my vaporizer for a good twenty minutes, and either get lost in a TV show, or playing on photoshop...

    after that, I floss, brush, mouthwash...grab a glass of water and off to bed I am. Because of the vaporizing, I'm usually asleep within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow.

    I don't think I take too long. I brush and floss, wash my face, apply moisturizer and off to bed.

    Whether you are being sarcastic or not doesn't really matter. Thank you for your compliment, but I am personally so damn sick of hearing "I feel so gross today", or "God, I'm just so fat!", or "I look horrible today!"

    I've gotten use to the coming home and telling me about their work-out classes. At first, i kind of just did whatever and answered with the typical "yeah" and "uh-huh", but if I don't pretend like I'm listening the girlfriend will call me out on it. One day I almost responded with "Am I supposed to care", but I thought twice before letting that one go.

    I've never wanted to be...but I am now up to date on all the celebrity gossip, and I know way too much than any man should know about dieting and eating healthy.

    All the guys out there...for the love of GOD, please come to my house, kidnap me and let's go to Vegas for an entire week. I think I'm losing testosterone by the hour...

    I used to love pizza, but I don't get to eat it that much anymore. I talked them into eating pizza last month, but it took a lot of work. At first they wanted to order the low-fat pizza.... :shock: :? :x Who in the FUCK orders a low-fat pizza? That's like ordering low-fat bacon (if it exists?), it's fucking blasphemy and should never be done.

    The pizza was almost not worth it considering I heard about it for about a day after we actually ate it... :roll:

    I'd say you are about 2 days away from a pedicure. :lol:
  • I watch tv until I'm so tired I don't feel like going upstairs...but I grab a glass of water and go up anyway.
    Then I wash my face, then apply a handful of random junk to my skin that is supposed to enhance/protect my beauty. :lol:
    While some of that is settling into my skin, I brush and floss my teeth.
    Then I put some more stuff on my face.
    Then I check on my daughter to make sure her covers are still on her.
    Then I get in bed and realize that I forgot at least one step in my bedtime routine, so then I go take care of that and then back in bed.
    Then I inevitably realize that the temperature of the room needs to be adjusted somehow, take care of that and get back into bed.
    Then I eventually fall asleep. :roll:

    My husband, on the other hand, says "goodnight, I'm going to bed." He goes up, brushes his teeth, and sleeps until his alarm goes off.

    I always have a hard time getting off the couch and starting the routine. But I always brush my teeth, wash my face, take my pills, and put on my acne lotion :). Sometimes I floss.
