Oh, so I’m just trying to keep up with my life (picture me running along, trying to catch a speeding car) and realized I never answered all the questions. So, here’s an answer for today.
Laura asked: What would you do with a day all to yourself? No kids, no husband, no responsibilities, no work…?
Answer:
At home? If I were at home, I would sleep in and then feel no choice but to putter around, cleaning and sorting and organizing. I know that sounds like work, but I would find that so satisfying. There are so many things I’d love to do around here, but I need silence, solitude and no interruptions. If I have 24 whole hours, I would also read, write and watch late-night t.v. in bed. (I am so boring.)
Out and about? This is what I usually do on my “day off”: I go thrift shopping, I browse the clearance racks at Marshall’s and Famous Footwear, I see a movie (using gift certificates I have so it costs me nothing). I realized some time back that shopping is a sort of meditation for me . . . it really does clear my mind to focus on racks of clothing, looking for the colored tags that are fifty percent off, hunting for a treasures.
Yes, it’s confirmed. I am boring.

I love going bargain shopping at Marshalls too. Yes, it is a sort of therapeutic activity to search for bargains. It takes you mind off of more serious matters, doesn’t it? As a matter of fact, I did just that today and found some great baskets on clearance at Marshalls. My husband says I buy baskets so that I can put more “unnecessary” bargains in them!

I am just that boring as well. Love those days though. Oh I long for Arkansas to have a Marshalls.

Mel,
I love to the exact same things you’ve said. I love to clean and organise the closet and other rooms in solitude (since I can then listen to my choice of music ALONE with no criticisms or comments). Given a day off from work, I have always tried to catch up on all the TV serials, movies I missed, especially cookery shows hehe and also chick flicks, enjoying them to my heart’s content! I love shopping alone too!! (And invariably I seek bargains only). So if you are “boring”, which you so clearly are NOT, then I’m proud to be in your team!
