Don't forget to flip your mattress. Head to toe, and then the next time change left to right. That way you don't have a "hole" where your butt rests.

Aw, man! I like that hole!! DH and I have considered switching sides before, which would be more logical in our situation, but I tried and his little hollowed out spot just isn't the same as mine!

I like mine better!! And, the clock is on my side.....easier to spring forward.....but is it worth it?

So, change the clocks, check your smoke detector batteries, turn the mattress over and take down the outdoor X-mas lights. At least around here in Sac town.

All joking aside though, decorative lights are designed and meant to be out and installed for 90 days tops. I don't care if they are up all year (kind of have a tree in the front yard that way myself) but PLEASE check them before the start of every season for dry, brittle wires and any cracks in the insulation. If you use them during the "off-season" check them at that time as well. Bend the wire in a few spots to see if it cracks (don't need to crink it super tight) if it does, it needs to be taken down finally and replaced.

Gretchen Wilson,.. Redneck Woman has a line in it......."I leave my Christmas lights up on my front porch all year long" lol. I don't have any, but this year it may be tough for anyone to take their lights down for a while yet.
