ESLPod.com presents "A Day in the Life of Lucy," a special ten lesson course to teach you everyday vocabulary in English.
 
In this course, you'll learn the vocabulary for everyday actions, from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night and everything in between.  I'm Dr. Jeff McQuillan, your host, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development, in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
 
Each lesson has three parts.  First, a story read slowly; second, an explanation of the story and the vocabulary we use; and third, the story read at a normal speed.
 
This is the female version of "A Day in the Life."  To listen to the male or man's version of this see our "A Day in the Life of Jeff," available on our website at elspod.com.  Let's get started with episode one: Getting Up.
 
[Start of story]
 
On a weekday, I usually get up around 6:30 a.m., but I set my alarm to go off at 6:20 so that I can hit the snooze button to sleep another 10 minutes.  My roommate thinks I’m crazy, but doing this in the mornings actually helps me wake up.  I’m a night owl, not an early bird like she is, so I need an extra few minutes to get going in the morning.
 
One reason it’s so hard to get up is because my bedroom and my bed are so comfortable.  I splurged and bought a bed with a very soft, thick mattress.  I also have matching sheets and pillowcases, and a comforter that is made of goose down.  Even my nightstand matches my sheets and the rest of my bedroom.  I decorated it so that it would be restful after a busy day at work.   
 
When I get up, the first thing I do is put on my robe.  It’s always so cold in the apartment in the mornings, no matter what time of year it is.  Then, I usually make my bed.  I hated making my bed when I was little, but now it’s become a routine.  Sometimes, though, I’m so tired that I sleep in for just a little too long and then, the bed definitely doesn’t get made.  On those days, I wish I could sleep in all day!
 
[End of story]
 
Episode one is called "Getting Up."  The verb to get, "get," up means to get out of your bed - to leave your bed.  So, after you stop sleeping - after you wake up, then you get up - you get out of your bed.
 
Lucy begins her story by saying that "On a weekday," that is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday - those are the weekdays (all one word), weekday.  The other part of the week is called the weekend, Saturday and Sunday.   
 
"On a weekday," what some people might also call a work day - a day they have to work, Lucy says she "usually gets up around 6:30" in the morning, but she sets her "alarm to go off at 6:20."  Her alarm, "alarm," is what makes noise - what wakes her up, usually it is an alarm clock that you can set the time to.  To set your alarm, "set," means to put it to the correct time.   
 
So, she sets her alarm to go off.  We use the expression, to go off, when we are talking about something that makes a large noise, for example, such as a bell or an alarm clock.  You can also have a gun; the gun can go off means the gun fires and makes a noise.  Well here, we are using this verb, to go off, when we are talking about an alarm clock.
 
So, her alarm goes off at 6:20 - 20 after 6:00 in the morning - but she hits "the snooze button to sleep another ten minutes."  The snooze button, "snooze," button, "button," is something on an alarm clock that allows you to sleep a little more, usually for five or ten minutes.  So, it will stop your alarm, and then five or ten minutes later the alarm will go off again.  So, that is called the snooze button.  The verb to snooze means to sleep, so it allows you to sleep a little extra time.
 
There's an expression "if you snooze, you lose."  If you snooze, you lose, which means if you fall asleep - if you are not awake, you may miss something important.  You will not win; you will lose if you are sleeping.  This used to happen to me when I was young, I would snooze, and then I would lose.  I would miss things because I was sleeping.  Now I try to stay awake more.
 
Anyway, getting back to Lucy's story, well, she likes to sleep another ten minutes.  Her roommate thinks that she's crazy, but she says that using her snooze button in the morning helps her wake up.  Remember, to wake up, "wake" up (two words), means to stop sleeping.
 
Lucy says that she's "a night owl, not an early bird."  A night owl, "owl," means someone who likes to go to bed very late at night - 11:30 p.m., 12 o'clock midnight.  Someone who goes to sleep very late, we call that person a night owl. An owl is an animal that is normally awake and makes sounds at night.  In English the sound would be "who, who," or "who, who," if it's a boy.  So, we have the night owl, and that is a term for somebody who stays up late.  The opposite would be an early bird.  An early, "early," bird.  An early bird is someone who wakes up and gets up early in the morning.  A night owl will probably get up later in the morning.
 
There's an expression in English, "the early bird gets the worm."  The early bird gets the worm, "worm."  A worm, "worm," is a little animal that birds eat.  The worms live in the ground.  The idea is that if you get up early, you will get more done - you will get things that other people don't get because they get up later.  So, the early bird gets the worm.  Well, Lucy is not eating worms, but she does like to take a "few extra minutes to get going in the morning."  To get going means to get active - to start doing things.
 
"One reason," she says, "it’s so hard to get up is" that her "bedroom and her bed are so comfortable."  She has a very nice, comfortable bed.  She says that she "splurged and bought a bed with very soft, thick mattress" - a very soft, thick mattress.  Lucy said she splurged, the verb to splurge, "splurge," means to spend a lot of money, even when it isn't necessary.  So, you want to buy something nice for yourself, you don't need it, it's not necessary but you want it.  So, she spends a lot of money - she splurges - and buys a very nice bed that has a nice, thick mattress.  A mattress, "mattress," is the part of the bed that you actually sleep on.  Usually, a mattress is something that has springs in it - pieces of metal that go up and down that allow your body to be comfortable.  So, this is a thick mattress - a big mattress - but it is also a soft mattress, so that you can lay down on the bed and it feels good on your body.  The opposite of a soft mattress is a hard mattress.
 
Lucy says that she has "matching sheets and pillowcases."  The sheet, "sheet," is what goes over the bed - what covers the bed so that the bed does not get dirty.  When we say the sheets are matching we mean that the colors are the same or they are similar so they look good together.  Pillowcases, "pillowcases," (plural) pillowcases are what cover your pillows - what you put your head on when you sleep, that's called a pillow.  So, the pillowcase goes over the pillow.
 
Lucy says she also has "a comforter made of goose down."  A comforter is a thick blanket - a big blanket.  "Comforter," a thick blanket.  This comforter "is made of goose down."  Goose, "goose," down, "down," (two words).  A goose is a kind of animal.  Down refers to the feathers of the animal, "feathers," the feathers.  The feathers are the things that a bird has that covers its skin.  They're usually long and very soft.  So, goose down pillows or goose down comforters are considered very soft and they're very warm.
 
Lucy says that even her "nightstand matches" her "sheets and the rest of the bedroom."  A nightstand, "nightstand," (one word) is a small table that you have next to your bed, where you can put your alarm clock and maybe a glass of water.  That's your nightstand.  Sometimes nightstands have what we call a drawer, "drawer."  A drawer is something that you put something into, like a little box that is in the table.
 
Lucy has a nightstand that matches - that has the same type of color as the rest of her bedroom.  She says that she decorated her bedroom "so that it would be restful after a busy day at work."  To decorate, "decorate," means to make your room look nice - to make the colors, the pictures, other things that you have in the room look good - look nice together.  Lucy decorated her room; she wants it to be restful, "restful."  To be restful means that when you walk into the room, it's relaxing, it's comfortable, it allows you to be able to sleep easily.
 
Lucy says that when she gets up, the first thing she does is to put on her robe.  To put on her robe, "robe."  A robe, which is sometimes called a bathrobe, is a large piece of clothing that you wear.  It covers the top of your body, and usually the bottom of your body, up to maybe your knees.  And, it is something that you wear often after a bath so that you don't get cold.  It's something you wear so that you can go into the bathroom and you don't need to put your clothes on.  Usually this is something you use in the morning after you shower or when you get up to go into your bathroom so you are not cold.
 
Lucy puts on her robe because it is "always so cold in" her "apartment in the mornings."  So, cold here means very cold.  It's always very cold - it's always so cold in her apartment, "no matter what time of year it is" - January, June, September - it's always cold.  "Then," she says, she usually makes her bed.  To make your bed means to put the sheets and the blankets - the comforter - back on the bed so that it looks nice - so that it doesn't look messy, "messy."  When we say the bed is messy we mean it is not made up - it doesn't look nice.  This is my problem; I don't make my bed as often as I should.  When you go to a hotel the maid makes your bed, "maid."  The maid is the person that comes in and cleans your room and makes your bed.  My mother would say, when I was young, "I'm not your maid.  You have to make your own bed."  Actually, I think it would be a good idea for me to get a maid now, so I don't have to worry about making my bed.
 
Lucy says she hated making her bed when she was little - when she was younger - "but now it’s become a routine."  A routine, "routine," is something that you do - a normal way that you do something, usually on a regular basis.  So, my routine when I get up may be to go to the bathroom and clean my face.  Every day I do the same thing; that's my routine.
 
"Sometimes," Lucy says, she's "so tired that" she sleeps "in for just a little too long."  To sleep in (two words) means to sleep longer than you are supposed to.  If you are supposed to wake up at 6:30 and you sleep until 7:00 that would be sleeping in.  When she sleeps in, her bed doesn't get made, that is she doesn't make her bed.
 
Now let's listen to the story, this time at a regular speed.

On a weekday, I usually get up around 6:30 a.m., but I set my alarm to go off at 6:20 so that I can hit the snooze button to sleep another 10 minutes.  My roommate thinks I’m crazy, but doing this in the mornings actually helps me wake up.  I’m a night owl, not an early bird like she is, so I need an extra few minutes to get going in the morning.

COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT
 
You're listening to ESLPod.com's "A Day in the Life of Lucy," part two: Cleaning Up and Putting on Make-up.  I'm your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, from the Center for Educational Development, in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
 
In the first episode of our course, we saw Lucy get up out of bed and describe the things that she does when she first wakes up.  In episode two, we're going to see her cleaning up and putting on her make-up.  Let's get started.
 
[Start of story]
 
I share a bathroom with my roommate, which is usually not a problem.  We each try to keep the sink, the tub, and the toilet clean, and we have separate medicine cabinets to keep our things.  There’s also room under the sink for our hairdryers and tampons.   
 
I start out by rinsing my mouth with some mouthwash before flossing.  Then, I take out my toothbrush and toothpaste and brush my teeth.  I only wash my hair every other day so I put on a shower cap and don’t have to get out my shampoo and conditioner.  I like to take bubble baths when I have time, but on a busy morning, a shower will have to do.  I lather up quickly and give my legs a quick shave.   
 
I don’t wear a lot of make-up to work so I just put on a little blush and a lightcolored lipstick, and skip the mascara and eye shadow.  I put a few hot curlers in my hair and I’m ready for breakfast!
 
[End of story]
 
Part two of "A Day in the Life of Lucy" is called "Cleaning Up and Putting on Make-up."  To clean up is to clean yourself - to make yourself ready to go out of your house usually.  To put on make-up needs to put something, usually, on your face that makes you look better.  This is something that women do.  I need make-up to make me look better because I'm so ugly, but I don't normally wear make-up.  But, more about that later!
 
Episode two begins with Lucy saying that she shares a bathroom with her roommate - the other woman that she lives with in her apartment.  They share the bathroom - they have only one bathroom, this "is usually not a problem," however.  Lucy says that each of them tries "to keep the sink, tub, and the toilet clean."  The sink, "sink," is where you put the water - where you pour the water into in order to clean.  A tub, "tub," sometimes called a bathtub, is a place where you put water.  It's usually a long box in your bathroom that you put water into it and you then get into the water and you clean yourself, kind of like when you go swimming.  You go in - your whole body goes into the water.  Well, that's what a tub is, it's a large, long container that you put water into in order to take a bath.  A toilet, "toilet," is what you use when you go to the bathroom, when you get rid of things out of your body.
 
In this bathroom, both Lucy and her roommate "have separate medicine cabinets."  They each have their own medicine cabinet.  A medicine cabinet, "medicine," cabinet, "cabinet," is something that you use to put your things - your bottles, your medicine, your toothpaste - things you use in your bathroom, you put them in a medicine cabinet.  It's a cupboard - it's a small area where you can put things.  Usually medicine cabinets have a mirror on the front, which is also the door, and you can open up the medicine cabinet and get things out of it.
 
Lucy and her roommate "have separate medicine cabinets."  Lucy says that "There’s also room under the sink for our hairdryers and tampons."  When we say there is room, we mean there is space - there is a place for you to put things.  The word room also refers to a part of your house or a part of a building - the bedroom, the dining room, and so forth.  But here, it's used to mean space, so there is "room under the sink for" their "hairdryers and tampons."  Hairdryers and tampons are two things that I do not use as a man.  A hairdryer, "hairdryer," (one word) is a machine that you use to, you can guess, dry your hair.  So, when you wash your hair and it is wet, you can use a hairdryer to make sure that it becomes dry.  I don't use a hairdryer because I don't have any hair.  When I was young man and a boy I had hair, and I would use a hairdryer, but not anymore.
 
A tampon, "tampon," is something that I have never used.  A tampon is something that a woman or a girl would use, a girl between the age of 12 and up to a women of the age of 55 or 60 perhaps would have to use a tampon every month.  This is something that men do not have to do.  Basically, a tampon is a long, thin piece of cotton that a woman puts in her body to absorb or to prevent blood from coming out of her body during each month.  I don't think I need to say more.  A woman has something happen to her every month, what we would call her period, "period."  Her period is when blood leaves her body, and that is part of her menstrual cycle.  Menstrual, "menstrual," means monthly.  So, this is something that men do not have to worry about.  But in this case, Lucy has hairdryers and tampons in her bathroom.
 
"I start by rinsing my mouth," Lucy says.  That is, when she first walks in to her bathroom she begins to clean up by rinsing her mouth out, or "rinsing her mouth."  To rinse, "rinse," means to clean with water.  She rinses "with some mouthwash before" she flosses.  So, she takes some liquid mouthwash, "mouthwash," (one word) which is a kind of liquid soap for your teeth.  It helps clean your teeth and make your breath smell better, or at least it's supposed to.  So, she rinses her mouth with mouthwash and then she flosses.  To floss, "floss," means to take a piece of string and put it between your teeth to get food from between your teeth - to get rid of - to remove that small piece food that might be in your teeth.
 
After, Lucy takes out, or gets, her toothbrush and toothpaste and brushes her teeth.  So, she gets her toothbrush and puts on toothpaste, which is a kind of soap for your teeth, and she brushes, or cleans, her teeth.  She only washes her "hair every other day."  That means that she doesn't clean her hair every day, she does it every other day - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday - every other day.
 
So, she puts "on a shower cap."  A shower, "shower," cap, "cap," (two words) is a piece of plastic that you put on your head, and it covers your hair.  You put it over your hair so your hair does not get wet when you take a shower.  It's called a shower cap.  Again, this is something that I do not need.
 
Lucy says she doesn't need to "get out her shampoo and conditioner."  She doesn't need to get out, meaning she doesn't mean to remove it from the medicine cabinet.  Shampoo, "shampoo," is a liquid soap for your hair.  Conditioner, "conditioner," is a liquid that you put on your hair after you shampoo to make your hair soft and nice.  That's shampoo, which cleans your hair, and conditioner that makes your hair soft, if you have hair.
 
Lucy likes "to take bubble baths when" she has time.  A bubble bath, "bubble," bubble bath, "bath," (two words) is a bath where you get into the tub and you have a liquid that you put into the water, usually it makes the water smell nice.  It is something that makes bubbles.  Bubbles are parts of water that have air in them.  They are very light, and sometimes they go up into the air.  It's like a little ball of water that has air in it; that's a bubble.
 
Lucy likes "to take bubble baths when" she has time, "but on a busy morning" she does not have time to take a bubble bath, so she has to take a shower.  She says, "a shower will have to do."  The expression, "have to do," means it will be sufficient - it will be enough - it will be good enough.  So, "a shower will have to do" - it will have to be good enough.
 
Then, she lathers up quickly and gives her "legs a quick shave."  To lather, "lather," up (two words) means to put liquid on your body - soap or shampoo or what we would call shaving cream and move it back and forth - mix it with water until you have bubbles that cover your skin - this is to lather up - or covers your hair, to lather up with shampoo on your hair.  Lucy lathers up and gives her "legs a quick shave."  Shave, "shave," can be a noun and a verb.  To shave means to remove hair from your body - from your skin.  Lucy says she gives her "legs a quick shave."  Women in the United States usually shave their legs - they get the hair off of their legs.  They'll also shave under their arms, what we would call their armpit, "armpit."  Your armpit is that space underneath your arm that connects your arm to the rest of your body.  Men do not shave their legs; they do sometimes shave their face, or like me, shave their head.
 
Lucy says that she doesn't "wear a lot of make-up to work," meaning she doesn't put on a lot of things on her face in order to go to work.  She just puts "on a little blush and light-colored lipstick."  Blush, "blush," is a pink powder that women put, usually, on their cheeks.  That is the place underneath or below your eyes, next to your nose - on either side of your nose, those are your cheeks.  It's a pink powder.  Powder is when you take something and you break it up into very small pieces, and it's so small that you can take your hand and the pieces will stick to your hand - they'll be on your hand; this is powder.  So, blush is a powder that you put on your cheeks, well, women, usually, put on their cheeks.
 
Lipstick, "lipstick," (one word) is a color that you put on your lips - the part of your mouth.  Women often put on red lipstick.  Lucy says she puts on "light-colored lipstick," so not very dark - a very light color.  I do not wear lipstick usually, but women often wear lipstick; it makes their lips look better.
 
Lucy says that she skips "the mascara and eye shadow."  To skip, "skip," means that she doesn't use it.  She doesn't use mascara, "mascara."  Mascara is a black or brown liquid that a woman puts on her eyelashes.  Your eyelash, "eyelash," (one word) are the little hairs that come out of your eyes or come out of what we would call your eyelid, "lid," that's the piece of skin that covers your eyes.  On the end of your eyelid are eyelashes, and these are little pieces of hair.  Women sometimes try to make those darker by putting on mascara.
 
Eye shadow, "shadow," (two words) eye shadow is another kind of powder, but it's powder that a
