Staying at Home

As I have had some time to stay at home over the past 21/2 months, I've come to enjoy the many great perks.  So, here is my list of great things that can happen when you're home alone all day long.

1.  I have the option of watching America's Funniest Home Videos before Saturday Night Primetime.

2.  I wake up to see Luis off to school and then secretly sneak back to bed and enjoy several more hours of sleep.

3.  I can bake dozens of cookies that I pretend to give away to neighbors who, conveniently, aren't home.  Sorry, Lu, it looks like we have to eat them ALL!

4.  No one knows exactly how many naps I have taken throughout the day.  (No honey, I didn't take any naps today.  I'm pretty tuckered...let's go to bed.)

5.  I can now name all 23 local colleges, along with their phone numbers, addresses, and programs.  I also know all the nearest denture replacement facilities.

6.  I can rent Spanish Traveler CD's from the library which means I can finally ask for a bellboy the next time I'm in Spain.

7.  I can pretend to be an American Idol contestant when I'm singing around our apartment...oh wait, I do that regardless.

8.  I can take multiple naps a day (um...did I already say that one?)

9.  I can have gloomy hour all day long!  I am trying to save money you know.

10.  There are 2 full hours of I Love Lucy reruns from 12 -2, and I can watch the whole marathon.

11.  I can learn the fine art of "Peeping" each time my neighbors walk by.

12.  I can watch the news at 7am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, 10pm, AND 11pm.  By the end of the day, I can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow!

13.  I can make hand puppets and pretend to be a ventrilaquist.  No audience needed.

14.  I realize just how much I love my hubby when he walks through that door.


What do YOU do?

Hey Ash, glad I could help out with this fabulous post last night! I wish I could watch the news all day long like you! Also pretty jealous of your "I Love Lucy" marathon every day! You are getting to be pretty productive!

I am in the same boat you are, I lost my job so I sit home and most days do not get out of my PJ's. To bad you live so far away or we could watch the news together!!!

I wait until Quinn is in bed and then watch hours and hours of America's Next Top Model. I'm not nearly as productive during the day.

Bennett and I regularly watch The Price is Right in the mornings. And every single day there's a commercial about Hoveround chairs for old people. Does this mean I'm getting old?

Last year before I had Ella I would sleep until 11 or 12 everyday! It made the days go by so much faster!

You may know all the local colleges but I know all the local disability lawyers and I have begun to wonder why the news is on so much especially since it doesn't change all that much!
