Oh, and video games if the mood strikes.<BR/><BR/>Glad you were able to get some alone time. That reminds me that I need to give my wife a baby-free night soon.Irrational Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701066159275266042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-52171099293429543342009-02-23T16:18:00.000-06:002009-02-23T16:18:00.000-06:00I think a lot of people veg out when they get time...I think a lot of people veg out when they get time alone. I like playing video games and not taking showers.<BR/><BR/>But on the occasion that I do go out, I like to take a book to a coffee shop and read while drinking lattes. I have also been known to go on a bike ride or a walk.Srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654911015547100987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-22343641561744194472009-02-23T14:10:00.000-06:002009-02-23T14:10:00.000-06:00Oh man how I look forward to having even a SINGLE ...Oh man how I look forward to having even a SINGLE day to myself, some time in the distant future.<BR/><BR/>I'd probably do some cleaning, and then read, read, read. Go pick up some Thai food from my favorite restaurant, open a bottle of wine, and then read, read, read some more. Go to bed early and sleep in, too! And yes, completely relish the silence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-59689813154609046462009-02-23T13:27:00.000-06:002009-02-23T13:27:00.000-06:00When I'm really alone, I'll sit down at the old pu...When I'm really alone, I'll sit down at the old pump organ and attempt a few right-handed hymns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-4724972791153257612009-02-23T10:52:00.000-06:002009-02-23T10:52:00.000-06:00Sushi and donuts!

But; I can't. -.-; sigh. I would read, I would dance around hysterically to the stereo; and I would watch Jon and Kate+8. By no means would I do freedom weekend again if not for the awesome speakers and music. I'm just not that kind of stay-up-late person. Unless I'm reading. Which I couldn't do there because the lights were off and we were watching HSM3. And I would NOT get in a saltwater hot tub. UGH. For the record, I'm seeing a doctor today so he can check out my foot, if you were wondering. Wow, this was long. I enjoyed writing this.

I like to alternate activities, leaving something then picking up on it again later. Another thing I like to do when alone is go to the grocery and go up and down each aisle, checking out new products. (Usually I shop with a list and am in and out in 10 minutes max.) I'm one of those people who is never bored though.

I love having time to myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
