No kids, no husband...just you and a glass of wine...what else would you do?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Cupcake...been sitting her for two hours. Just poured my first and only glass of wine...

We dream of this happening, don't we? And I'm completely at a loss! I am enjoying a little piece and quiet though. But so unexpected!

I vowed NO CLEANING! I feel better...knowing my list of options is the same! thanks ladies!

I'm staring at the screen and I have NO idea what I would do. I would probably just be really spontaneous and do whatever I felt in that moment.

Go for a walk
Take a hot bath with candles and a book
Watch a chick flick
Paint my nails
Do my eyebrows, and a facial

Bake brownies or something equally amazing, and eat them alone! Lol.
Go outside and drink your wine and people watch

Should make a list of things you want to do or random things you think of and then next time you have more options and wont feel so "on the spot"

Enjoy your peace and quiet!

I would give in after a few minutes and probably start a load of laundry and do some light cleaning. I always can relax much better with a semi-clean house.

Tomorrow, I have a whopping seven hours of alone time. Miracle of miracles.

I plan on updating my preschool's blog to include all of our little adventures and what we've been playing/learning for the past two weeks.

I have purchased a totally toxic cleanser for our ancient bathtub/shower tile. It is so gross to me. Husband never sees it as he apparently doesn't take showers with his glasses on, tee hee. Lucky me. She who sees it, scrubs it away.

I will go grab a quiet sushi lunch and read the a novel my girlfriend lent me, appropriately titled "Best Friends". (I invited her for lunch but she has to work. sigh.)

I will buy dinner and prep it.

Oh, and I might take a peek here because I've updated my blog twice this week and don't have another topic fresh in my head.

Oh and a big one for me is cleaning. I really enjoy cleaning, organizing and reorganizing. :) What about you A. Mel Mel, what do you do in your alone time?

Grab a bag of chips and eat with my right hand while blindly speed-typing a story with my left and watching a DVD. I mastered typing without looking and multitasking in school. I might also read a bit.

I don't drink but I would thoroughly enjoy a Pepsi during my quiet time.... I usually read a book, call a friend, go running or do an exercise video or watch a chick flick. My hubby leaves soon on business, for a week.... I will load up my netflix queue with MY movies. But then I head out to meet up with him for 8 days. I know what WE will be doing during all that alone time!!
