I was late but anyway, here's my manic Monday entry:

What is on your bedside table? Many. Books that I read before I sleep, my alarm clock. Our family picture and a lampshade.

How many pillows do you have on your bed? Do you make your bed every day? Lots of pillows. One for hubby, 2 for me and since the little girl is sleeping with us, her pillows are all over the bed as well. She got 6 pillows all in all including her comfort pillow :). And yes making our bed everyday is a routine already. But when I run out of time, the helper makes our bed.

What's worse, physical or mental cheating? Why?

~Mental cheating. Women got instincts and I believe because of that, they will or they can feel it if they are being cheated.
