So last year on a whim I bought Zelda Twighlight Princess. Now I am not terribly good at playing it and am only just past halfway, but every once in awhile I will waste an entire day playing it.

(Time flies when you're having fun!) I too watch the things no one else likes watching with me including Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife and now just this week the Last Tango in Halifax. <br /><br />I also occasionally take long showers and the time to shave my legs!

As for "home alone" times . . . you nailed it: reading and watching Netflix - after I've done just a few productive things to make me not feel guilty.

Loved them. Have only seen one of the movies but remember liking it. Will have to add it to my "to be watched" list. ;)<br />AlongCameTheBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590432394118183751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-31334673981775339322014-08-21T17:35:20.604-05:002014-08-21T17:35:20.604-05:00I love taking a long bath and either read a book o...I love taking a long bath and either read a book or watch a show on my iPad. I just recently finished watching all four seasons of Downton Abbey. I also like eating chocolate while doing this! :) I am wanting to start watching Call the Midwife. My friend recommended it to me and I have been looking for the first season. You are not alone! :)I'm Putting It Out Therehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987708216437659380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-6483224828687037452014-08-21T13:41:14.180-05:002014-08-21T13:41:14.180-05:00No, you are NOT ALONE! LOL! I almost feel guilty...No, you are NOT ALONE! LOL! I almost feel guilty if and when I get time alone. I am a list kind of gal and like to remain organized most of the time. Some days are productive like you said with all the normal chores. I do get tired of everyday chores just like I am sure every other housewife, but it is a necessity. However, in my time alone (which I can sometimes snatch in bits and pieces, but not too often) I too like to read. I also like to get comfy and never wear makeup unless I am going to church, the dr, etc. I like my skin to breathe. I like eating whenever I want to eat not having to worry about preparation for others, and taking an afternoon nap if I want. I also like to work on my Ancestry, which I can get lost in for days if I am not careful..haha, but I do love it and find it extremely interesting. Then, of course, I like to sew. I never seem to have the time to sew for me. Then of course there is watching a movie marathon of movies I love and everyone either makes fun of if I watch them (Janette Oaks Love Come Softly series...I have all the DVD's in that series, among others) or possibly something on TV like Project Runway or Law and Order reruns, to name a couple. These kinds of things slow me down to relax and enjoy things. Having time alone refreshes me as well....especially if I decide to sing and dance in my livingroom to the Lord and just have a great time in Him. Now, if anyone saw me doing this, I would be mortified in my flesh...LOL! Then of course if I really need some alone time....I can plan a time to go see my great grandson in Louisiana...LOL! That is a lot of time alone in a vehicle, but aaaahhhh the results are spectaculard! :)<br /><br />So, you are not the only one who likes to be a teensy bit lazy (and don't feel guilty about it either! I have gotten to where I don't anymore and it is an awesome feeling)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053125490035682358noreply@blogger.com
