I suggest reading what Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage has to say about "lay" and "lie" before you admit you're still having trouble with determining when to use which word. The section is too long to reprint here, but essentially boils down to "do whatever the heck you want, because that's what authors from the 1700s on have been doing."
