Holy greasy eggs for breakfast!
The scrambled eggs at the hotel’s breakfast buffet were practically swimming in grease this morning.
I’m sure the cheese, bacon and sausage pieces in the mix added to the greasiness, but they also added to the flavor.
Greasy eggs never hurt anyone (directly, anyway), so I wolfed mine down with a piece of buttered whole wheat toast and a side of hash browns.
I forgot how delicious plain toast with butter tastes. Sometimes the simplest parts of a meal are the standouts.
Bed Time Survey
Apparently my friends and I are still in middle school because we still enjoy sending chain emails with surveys to each other every now and then. The most recent survey had a bed time theme. My answers are below.
Feel free to weigh in on the fun yourself in the comment section!
- How many hours of sleep do you get each night? 7 – 8 hours.
- What time do you usually go to bed? A little after 10 p.m.
- What time do you get up during the workweek? Between 5 and 6 a.m.
- What do you wear to bed? Typically a t-shirt and girly boxer shorts, but lately I’ve been loving short, summery nighties.
- What is the last thing you do before bed? Kiss Ryan goodnight.
- Does coffee wake you up? I don’t think it makes me feel more awake, but it does make me chatty… and sometimes sweaty!
- Does vodka put you to sleep? Vodka? No. It makes me happy. Rum? Yes. It’s like a horse tranquilizer for me.
- How do you sleep: On your side, stomach or back? I start on my side, but wake up on my stomach or back.
- Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? Always real life things and people… and sometimes bloggers because I’m super creepy. Ryan’s dreams are like an action movie mixed with Harry Potter!
- Ever had a reoccurring dream? Nope.
- Which is worse: Being too hot or too cold in bed? Too hot. I get really frustrated if I am sweaty and overheated when I’m trying to go to sleep.
- What size is your bed? Queen.

![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
Any form of alcohol does NOT make me tired, but rather the opposite of tired– I start talking to strangers everywhere!
What do you wear to bed? – Usually a t-shirt and a pair of men’s pajama pants. I know, really really sexy. And I used to use the t-shirt I slept in the night before as the next morning’s workout gear. Now you love me =)
Does vodka make you sleepy? It makes me a little sick. NO thanks.
Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? I typically dream about real-life things. I also dream about getting lost in places that I know in and out, like work or going to a dr. appt. Weird.
I’ve never dreamt about a blogger, but I wouldn’t mind having something Swanky Dietician baked for breakfast =)
I usually wear shorts and a cami to bed…and I can’t stand having socks on while I sleep!
Never had a blogger dream but last night I dreamt that I got married while wearing my glasses instead of contacts and I was so disappointed when I realized this! haha
I used to get this dream every few months when I was little and it used to freak me out so badly. I was climbing up a pile of car tires and all of a sudden an Indiana Jones-esque metal ball came knocking me down. Looking back on it now, it was really nothing though.
What do you wear to bed?
Usually one of my boyfriend’s t-shirts.
Does vodka make you sleepy?
Vodka makes me REALLY talkative and giggly, not sleepy. Wine makes me sleepy!
Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies?
It depends what is going on in my life. When I am stressed I have the most ridiculous dreams, my most recent one was that Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys (who was my all time biggest celebrity crush growing up) wanted to date me-score!
Bonus question:
Have you ever had a dream about a blogger?
I have had a few dreams about meeting a blogger and being their friend. None of them were too creepy though. 🙂
I usually wear one of my boyfriend’s shirts too. They are so big and soft and smell like him sometimes. Mmmm…swoon!
I’ve never had a dream about a blogger – but someone told me they had a dream about me!
Love this! Wine makes me sleepy sometimes. That doesn’t mean I don’t drink it though 😉
I wear shorts and a tank top to bed, usually. And my dreams are so random! They tend to have some “real life” elements, but everything is always so out of whack!
I sleep in a tshirt or tank and soffee shorts or a cotton dress from target. Vodka (and probably all alcohol) makes me tired unless i’m actively doing something. It also makes my allergies HORRIBLE. For anyone who doesn’t know – alcohol heightens allergic reactions. I rarely dream, but most of them are super life-like and I often wake up sad that it didnt come true!!
i had no idea that alcohol heightens allergic reactions. crazy!
I have this same problem. I have 2 beers and start sneezing like crazy!
oo greasy eggs!!.. not a fan!. DANg i wish i could sleep that long! i takes me At least 1-2 hours to fall asleep every single night..
What do you wear to bed? undies and a tshirt!
Does vodka make you sleepy? YES- i crash after a night out
Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? both!
My sleepwear of choice is some cute boy shorts & a tank top…I normally hit the hay around 10pm..we get up around 545 to workout so by 10pm – it’s bedtime – for sure! xoxo from Trinidad
I have crazy dreams that I never remember, but APPARENTLY I am very talkative in my sleep and have entire conversations. 🙂
Cool- I want to be in Ryan’s dreams!
…ok, that sounded really creepy.
I just meant that I love Harry Potter and his dreams sound like fun 🙂
I’m in need of soem new summer nighties! This heat is too much for shorts and a tank top.
What do you wear to bed? Typically just a t-shirt because my room gets really hot at night.
Does vodka make you sleepy? Typically after drinking I don’t sleep well at all-and end up waking up really early.
Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? I think a mixture of the two. Sometimes I have a really weird dream–but people that I know (usually not well) pop up in it.
Bonus question:
Have you ever had a dream about a blogger? I have not directly, but I have nightmares about no one wanting to be my friend at HLS, haha.
I usually wear girly boxers/t shirts, but plan on buying more attractive PJs for after my wedding! 😉 Vodka knocks me out for sure!
I usually wear a t-shirt and boxers, somtimes just a t-shirt if its hot. Vodka doesn’t make me sleepy unless I already was to begin with. I have reccurring dreams all the time, it’s really annoying and they’re always about potentially true events. Ryan (my bf) dreams that he is in movies or video games.
I usually wear a tank top and shorts to sleep. I don’t think vodka makes me sleepy but wine definitely makes me tired. Sometimes I dream about real-life things. Most of the time, I can never remember my dreams.
I usually sleep in a t-shirt and little boxer-style shorts. Although, if I’m trying to feel somewhat sexy (if that’s possible haha) I sleep in a summery nighty! I’d say wine is the alcohol that makes me the most sleepy…but it’s a wonderful kind of sleepy. I have the strangest dreams ever!
What do you wear to bed? usually a t shirt or a tank top if it is really warm. In the winter I wear a t shirt and socks
Does vodka make you sleepy? I don’t drink vodka too much so I have no clue. But booze in general tends to make me sleepy.
Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? I don’t remember my dreams too often, but normally they are a mix of real life + fantasy
I usually sleep in a t-shirt and sofie shorts, which is comfy but not the most risque by any means. Vodka only makes me sleep if I’m already a little tired and then it just escalates it. Tequila has the same effect on me.
I usually where one of my boyfriends old t-shirts and cute boxers. Sometimes even sweat pants and a sweatshirt, I get really cold at night!!
It’s like a horse tranquilizer for me. <— HAHAHAHA!!! 😀 Hilarious!!!!
•What do you wear to bed? umm, I'll leave that question alone…let's just say it's not much! 😉 HA! I get WAY too hot (& sweaty. EW!) when I sleep…so clothes just make it worse.
•Does vodka make you sleepy? Nope…like you- happy! 🙂
•Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? Typically real life things.
•Have you ever had a dream about a blogger? YES- I just had one about Court & Sweet Tooth Sweet Life last week. It was TOTALLY random. It was about her wedding- I was getting married (again- lol!) & my wedding colors & decorations looked just like hers! How funny is that?!

Together we are getting that much closer to a cure!
Vodka? No. Also, I wear old tshirts and flannel pants to bed. The hubby complains, but that’s what he gets for not complimenting the cute pjs I purchased a while back. ha. About the dreams… hmmm…. not sure. I hardly remember any of mine.
HAHA! I love surveys like that. I know this sounds deathly unappealing but I usually wear my workout clothes to bed that way I just have to get up 5 minutes before my workout partner shows up. Keith is a lucky man! 🙂 ha!
i wear nighties to bed. i LOVE vodka. (sidenote: have you ever tried pinaccle’s ‘whipped’ vodka with diet root beer? hello adult-form of root beer float! amazing!) i dream about real-life things/people. and NO i have never had a dream about a blogger. probably because i’m not a blogger and i only keep up with 2 blogs on a daily basis so that would be REALLY creepy if i dreamed about you… no offense.
What do you wear to bed? usually hanes white-t and undapants! And when it’s cold i’ll wear a pair of old sweatpants from high school
Does vodka make you sleepy? Vodka makes me do a lot of other things and sleep is not one of them. A big glass of red wine, however, will put me out like a baby.
Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? a mixture. my dreams usually make no sense when i try to tell someone about them, but they make so much sense when you’re dreaming it!
Bonus question:
Have you ever had a dream about a blogger? not yet!
I usually wear tanks and boxers but with the hot summer Vodka can make me sleepy if I only have a drink or 2.
My dreams are more real life I think… can’t remember many recently!
I wear boxers and tees to bed too, and vodka doesn’t make me sleepy, but anything containing a lot of sugar does! I don’t think I’ve ever had a dream about a blogger (well, that I can remember anyway) but most of my dreams do involve people I know. I wish I could remember more of them though!
Love the summery nighties! I need to expand my sleeping wardrobe from my workout shorts and old college t-shirts. Just wondering where you usually buy yours?
victoria’s secret or old navy!
Thanks!
I wear old maternity clothes to bed. I look super sexy in them. Ha. Vodka (and tequila) makes me want to party (rum makes me gag). I tend to dream about real-life stuff. The worst dreams happen when I’m busy at work and I dream about updating the same spreadsheet over and over again. I wake up so tired!
I did have an anxiety-filled dream about the first CFL Lady Blogger dinner. Thankfully, none of that came true.
Happy Friday!
I wear girly boxers and a tshirt to bed too! Alcohol generally doesn’t make me sleepy. And my dreams are about 50/50 fantasy and real life.
Ok so I’m a total creep and tend to dream about whatever i read right before going to sleep. (Cool when you’re reading an action book or fantasy not so cool when I read my google reader and dream about meeting bloggers… It’s weird!!!)
I’ve never dreamt about a blogger but I’ve definitely dreamt about blogging!
I wear anything from a cute little nightgown to a t-shirt and shorts. No consistency. Generally, vodka gets me going! When I’m already tired, though, it just makes me more tired.
I’ve got to admit, I’m prettttty jealous that you are given the option of complimentary meals at your hotel! I would love that luxury sometimes 🙂
I know…I want free breakfasts!
Hilarious—my boyfriend ALWAYS dreams about action sequences, too. He’ll have these crazy scenarios about how he has to save the world from a bomb/zombies/killer whale/etc. It’s super intense. I usually dream about real-life situations. A lot of time my nightmares are about my students turning into little anarchists and totally taking over my classroom. True story.
I’ve definitely had a blogger dream before. It always makes me feel slightly creepy when I do. Haha – goes to show the connection you feel with people in the blog world I guess!
* What do you wear to bed? – pj pants and a tshirt/tank top
* Does vodka make you sleepy? – i’m not sure, i’m not a big vodka drinker, but wine DEFINITELY does
* Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? – A mixture of both I would say.
Maybe this is TMI, but I rarely wear anything to bed. I’m just not comfortable sleeping in clothes.
I typically dream about real life people, but the people are usually doing crazy things in my dreams. I guess that’s pretty typical though.
What do you wear to bed? pj bottoms and a tshirt which never matches ha
Does vodka make you sleepy? No sireee
Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? Bit of both 🙂
I love these silly little surveys!!
•What do you wear to bed? a t-shirt and shorts, not very sexy at all!!
•Does vodka make you sleepy? nope, only if I have too much
•Do you dream about real-life things or complete fantasies? usually a mix of both. Sometimes I have the kind of dreams that are so real I’m not sure if it really just happened. Other times I dream about totally random stuff!
Usually shorts and a tank top. I’m Slovak so Vodka just makes me hungry!!
My dreams are ridiculously random and I love them for that!!!
Gap has the best boyshorts, and tanks to sleep in. I have several different styles and LOVE them all.
Julie, I have to ask this! How can you eat those eggs?? I freak out over hotel breakfasts and simply refuse to eat anything but whole wheat toast or Cheerios, if its available! Or oatmeal. I couldn’t do all that grease and do you know where their eggs come from?? Ack! Maybe I’m OCD?? LOL!
Anyway….funny about the survey, I still do them from time to time too!
Answers:
What do you wear to bed? Absolutely nothing!
Does vodka make you sleepy? Yes, but it also includes any hard alcohol when I have a few shots!
Do you dream of real life things or just fantasy? Usually scary real life things! Ill think of something before bed and dream of it! Sometimes I jump in my bed, like a spaz, and its because I fell or jumped off a cliff! Ugh, those are the worst!
My husband got a pack of boxers that are too big on him so I’ve snatched them, roll them up and wear them to bed recently. I’ve never been into “cute” nighttime wear, I just want to be comfortable! I’ve totally dreamt of bloggers before. It’s weird to dream about people you’ve never met, makes me feel like a stalker at times!
I actually had a dream about Tina from Carrots n Cake. HAHA that is TOTALLY wierd and creepy, but I guess after reading her blog for so long I feel like I know her.
Also- I typically wear pj pants and a tank or my boyfriend’s boxers and a tshirt! Anything super comfy!
I love surveys like this!
What do you wear to bed? I love wearing a big t-shirt (I love men’s t-shirts for some reason), and pajama shorts.
Does vodka make you sleepy? Nooo. Vodka makes me very smiley and happy, and makes me want to dance for hours on end. Although I like to dance for countless hours without vodka anyway!
Do you dream of real life things or just fantasy? Real life things. I have a recurring dream about all my teeth falling out. You’d think that wouldn’t be a scary dream, but it is! I would so much rather have Harry Potter and Ron Weasley make guest appearances in fantasy dreams!
I wear shorts/ capris and a t-shirt to bed!
I have weirDDD dreams, but never about a blogger. Haha.
I am a summer nightie kinda gal, vodka just makes me tipsy, and I dream about both real life and fantasy stuff. Might have something to do with the vodka. 😉
I HAVE dreamed about a blogger(s). I was super bummed when I woke up and none of my home improvement projects were done.
//dream stalker
I cannot believe I’m confessing this on a blog comment, but I wear my sports bra, tank top and boxers to bed. I know my friends think I’m insane, but sports bras are comfy!
And I don’t care how cold it is, I will never, NEVER wear socks to bed. 🙂
Don’t worry – it’s a clean sports bra 🙂
