Answer
Kitty,
Your car may be in need of a minor tune-up.  Air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, PCV value should all be replaced if they are the originals.  Have your alternator and battery inspected.  If you live in a wintery area that tends to get freezing temperature and snow, you may want to consider using some gas line antifreeze.  It can be bought at most gas stations and any store that sells automotive parts.  Gas line antifreeze will prevent any moisture from building up and freezing in your fuel system.  Water in the fuel line can cause poor starting.  Your problem doesn't sound like anything too serious, and nothing that some regular maintenance won't fix.
Good luck!
