I do my own. :)
2. Do you laundry at your home or a laundromat?
At home.
3. Are there certain articles of clothing that you need to have dry-cleaned on a regular basis?
I have, I think, a couple of items of clothing that are “dry-clean only”; but I don’t take them to the dry cleaners. I don’t wear them that often.
4. How often do you do laundry? Is there a certain day of the week that you consider “laundry day?”
Once a week, every Monday. (So today was laundry day.)

I wait until I’m wanting to wear them.

I use a dryer.
7. Do you own things that need to be hand-washed or do you try to avoid buying things that you can’t wash in the washing machine?
I have a couple of sweaters that have to be washed in the gentle cycle. Years ago, I owned a couple of tank tops that had to be washed by hand.
h/t to monday madness
Hat-tip to monday madness.
1. Name one thing you received as a gift on your last birthday.
I didn’t receive anything on my last b’day. ‘Salright, though.
2. What would be the “perfect” birthday gift?
I don’t know. I really don’t. Hrm…
3. Do you look forward to birthdays?
I did when I was younger. Now? I’m a wee bit non-committal. I mean, I’m past most of the important ones already, y’know?
4. On your birthday, do you treat yourself to something special each year?
I did last year.
5. Do you bother keeping up with your horoscope on a regular basis?
No. IMO, it’s nothing special, just stuff someone thinks up on the spot.
6. What zodiac sign are you, and do you think you fit the description for that sign?
I’m a Leo. And no, I don’t think I fit the description.
1. How long have you been blogging?
About three or four years. All of the early entries are long gone now, though.
2. How many times have you taken a break from blogging?
I don’t think I have. (I don’t count times when I’ve had to reinstall blogging software for whatever reason.)
3. How long is the longest you’ve gone, so far, without posting on your blog?
Maybe a week or so? I don’t know.
4. How many fellow bloggers do you keep in touch with, through your blogs, on a regular basis?
I comment on quite a few of them at least somewhat regularly, and some of them I know through various message boards. So…yeah.
5. Have you ever met, in person, a blogger on your blogroll?
No, but I would like to. *nods*
6. How often do you update/change the ‘extra’ stuff on your blog?
Whenever I think it needs changing. :)
7. Do you think you’ll be blogging for years to come?
I don’t know, really. I’d like to think I will; but…I can’t say “yes” or “no” with certainty.
monday madness
1. Which holidays (if any) do you consider more as a day off from work, than anything else?
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
2. Which 3 holidays are most celebrated in your family?
Just the two listed above. And, occasionally, the Fourth (of July).
3. Do you have an organized filing system at home?
Not really.
4. Do you clip coupons for groceries? If so, do you remember to use them? If not, why?
I don’t clip grocery coupons. Don’t have to. ;)
5. How many magazines do you subscribe to?
A big fat goose egg.
6. Do you play any computer games on a regular basis? If so, which is your favorite, and why?
“Placer Racer”, part of Hoyle Board Games. You need a sharp eye to do well at that. The best I’ve done is Level 26 (tonight!) out of lawd knows how many levels.
7. Have you watched any movies worth recommending, lately?
I rewatched Amélie a while back, which is always fun to watch, IMO. Also–even though it’s not a movie–the premiere episode of Slings and Arrows (I’d seen only one episode before that–the season 1 finale–and liked it so much I ended up getting S&A’s full first season on DVD…S2 comes out next month).
