Why is my 99 starting up so weird???

Living in the northeast, the cold is starting to come, and now car is startng up weird. In the morning it is garaged, and it take two cranks for the car to start. Same with around 2oclock when im leaving school, it takes two cranks.
At first it just cranks, then i stop, start up it again, and then it starts up.
It shouldnt do this, and should start up right away. Its a 1999 SE with like 38k miles on it.

So whats the deal? anything i should get checked out?

try this turn the key to on..and let all the what I call switches and clicks get finished...this will activate the fuel pump. I noticed if I do it really quick sometimes on my 99 it wont start first time..but if I slow it down..and do on...for just a sec then start..no problems.
