Ten on Tuesday

June 9, 2009 By Carole

The theme for this week’s Ten on Tuesday is a fantastic one. 10 Favorite Things to do During “Me” Time.  I love me time.  This is going to be a piece of cake.

1. Knit.  Duh.

2. Spin.  Yet another duh.

3. Take pictures.  Whether it’s taking  a walk in the yard or heading somewhere fun with Dale, I love to spend time taking photos.

4. Watch “Everybody Loves Raymond” reruns.  This is definitely one of my guilty pleasures.

5. Read.  I’ve always got a book nearby.

6. Bake.  Baking is a great stress reliever for me.

7. Hang out on Ravelry.  Rearrange my queue.  Catch up on the forums.  See what my friends are knitting and faving.  Good times.

8. Play zuma.  Why yes, I am still obsessed, thankyouverymuch.

9. Go for a pedicure.  It’s so relaxing and indulgent.

10.  Play with the Wii.  Guitar Hero, Mario Kart, it’s all good.

That was easy!  How about you?  What do you do with your “me time”?

    Great list! I’m thinking of making one, but yours is pretty close to what mine would be…

    Knit, read, eat, sleep…um, that’s not 10. Repeat!

    Me, knit…that’s about it. 😉

  4. Carol says

    June 9, 2009 at 7:17 am

    Definitely knit, sew, and bake. I also love our new Wii. I would add gardening and walking/running (if it’s not too hot).

  5. Chris says

    June 9, 2009 at 8:18 am

    Read. Walk. Read. Knit. Read. 😉

    Me time? There’s such a thing? I squeeze out thirty minutes on Monday night to watch “The Big Bang Theory” (highly recommended), a few hours on Sunday morning in front of the news shows whilst reading the less demanding parts of the Sunday NYTimes, x amount of time reading before falling asleep and some stolen moments in the john!

  7. Marcia says

    June 9, 2009 at 8:55 am

    Knit, read (I have Kindle on my iPod….love!), spin, make jewelry, garden, sew, decorate, bake bread, clean (NOT!) and watch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns. I thought I was the only one….

  8. deb says

    June 9, 2009 at 9:38 am

    Are we twins? Except – I’d have to swap out Law & Order reruns!

  9. Hillary says

    June 9, 2009 at 9:59 am

    My list looks a whole lot like yours. Not a surprise at all.

  10. Bridget says

    June 9, 2009 at 10:04 am

    I have to get my list ready, though it won’t be terribly different from yours.

    You know, I never watched Everybody Loves Raymond when it was on, but I do enjoy the reruns!

  11. Sylvia says

    June 9, 2009 at 10:23 am

    1,2,5,6 yes. Sing, garden, do beadwork, hike, refinish furniture, embroidery. That was easy!

  12. Carrie says

    June 9, 2009 at 10:26 am

    I have two babies. What’s me time?

  13. Patty says

    June 9, 2009 at 10:44 am

    Oh so many of the same things and I’d do That 70’s Show for my mindless TV indulgence – it just never gets old!

    June 9, 2009 at 10:55 am

    Hmmmm. I might have to use this for a blog post.

    This is a great one!

    Some of my answers:
    Knit of course
    take photos of course
    Walk with my dog, not close to home. Dog adventure. 🙂
    Massage
    knit shop crawl
    watch THe Office

    I should have put pedicure on my list – I got one yesterday and it was AWESOME.

  17. Teyani says

    June 9, 2009 at 12:14 pm

    I completely agree with 5 of them…. and I’d add walking in my garden,and walking on the beach to your list.
    errrr…. what’s zuma? (am I totally behind the times here?)

  18. Catie says

    June 9, 2009 at 12:21 pm

    Save for Raymond (not a big TV watcher) and the spinning (a habit I haven’t yet formed, much to my dismay) my list looks exactly like yours.

    I’d add in get a massage near the top, and go for a hike with my husband. (Or, better yet, LEARN to SPIN!!)

  19. Julie says

    June 9, 2009 at 1:34 pm

    I also like “Me” time so this week’s list was a piece of cake (which is something else I like during my me time but didn’t add to my list). 🙂

    Of course the top 2 items on my list match yours.

  20. Cookie says

    June 9, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    Wonderful list, Carole!

    Zuma never gets old.

  21. Lucia says

    June 9, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    I’m with you on 1-3 and 5-7. I’ve never watched ELR and I’ve never played Zuma. No, I don’t want to learn how, although it’s kind of you to offer.

  22. Karen says

    June 9, 2009 at 2:53 pm

    Getting a pedicure was my #1 because I hardly ever get one I guess. I’ve never heard of Zuma.

  23. jill says

    June 9, 2009 at 3:05 pm

    knit, read, garden, read your blog, Gilmore girls w/my teen, read w/my preteen, action-adventure flicks, run, cook anything involving garlic (love the garlic!), do any of the above near an ocean, lake, pool, bathtub… Thanks for asking 😉

  24. dana says

    June 9, 2009 at 3:17 pm

    your list looks alot like mine might. except replace raymond with the A&E version of pride and prejudice. quilting for spinning. and i have no idea how to play zuma. and no Wii for me. maybe a beer instead.

  25. Sara says

    June 9, 2009 at 6:14 pm

    Know I put read on my list – must have put knit too – I’ll have to check.

    I can relate to your list…a lot!

  26. Sarah says

    June 9, 2009 at 6:33 pm

    Hmmm…we have similar lists. In fact, I think I will do something from the list instead of typing up my own list.

  27. Beth says

    June 10, 2009 at 3:02 pm

    I love Zuma! Have you played Marble Lines on FB? It’s similar.

  28. Deb says

    June 11, 2009 at 10:00 am

    Dude, we love the same things! Even the Everybody Loves Raymond one…I love that show. I think I’ve seen every episode tens of times and yet, I don’t get tired of it.
