I have found myself in an awkward situation this evening. All six kids have gone to spend the night at Grandma's house. The kitchen is clean. The laundry is almost done. Now what do I do? Should I resist the urge to clean out my kid's closets while they are away (the perfect time to get rid off all those clutterful toys they never play with)? Should I polish the cabinets, clean out the fridge, or deep clean the laundry room? Or should I SCRAPBOOK or take a long BATH or SNUGGLE up with my HUSBAND and watch a movie? Or there's that QUILT I've been meaning to get back to. Or maybe I can go SHOPPING. ALONE. Decisions, decisions. It will probably take me all night to decide, then I won't have any time to actually do anything.
On another note, Nettie tagged me with the Se7ens meme. So here are 42 things you never wanted to know about me:

All your suggestions sound like pleasant ways to spend the evening. So, what did you do?
Thanks for playing! Your flushing comments made me laugh. I guess I should have put them in mine, too!
OMG--I have this same free time dilemma!!
I always get a chuckle out of the spell checker not recognizing "blog" too!
--snow
I'll play!!!
How would it be to have time alone?!?!? I haven't had that in four years (the amount of time since DH started working from home in a virtual office). I think I have forgotten what it is like. You are LUCKY!!!
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but unless you decide to become nudists, the laundry will NEVER, EVER be done! I depressed myself with this all last week.
I still don't know how to use blogger spell check.
I can completely relate to "I'm right here!" ... I seem to say that a thousand times a day :) And I'm the same with free time, I get all stressed about using it the BEST way possible.
Amen to not getting up before 6 a.m. There is a reason the sun isn't out then.
OK I totally forgot about Pirates of the Carribean. I LOVED that one! Johnny Depp has never been better.
Great post.
I finally did the meme. :-D
