Which leads me to the prompt at Sweet Shoppe Designs blog - about quirks. You see I've now had 22 hrs to do whatever I wanted. I dream of having uninterrupted scrapping time - and what do I do when I get it? I frazzle it away. Well - we did take the boys out to the local tavern for dinner (shhh don't tell Lauren). It's nice to have some quiet time with them too. I did a little scrapping last night and finished up a layout - but I sat there for hours fiddling and playing and procrastinating while half watching TV. Then I went to bed and slept in!!! Today, I've cleaned the house, went for a quick trip to the grocery shop which lasted a couple of hours (and cost over $200 just for food!!) and here I am, hours later with not much to show for it. Good grief - I could have done several layouts with all this free time. But nope - I sit, and I browse. I look at some sites. I browse some galleries. I search for some challenges. I wait for "Sweet Shoppe Saturday" so I can buy some new goodies. Part of me starts to panic - I'm wasting precious time, but I look at the clock and realise that I have another 23 hrs left to play (minus a little time for sleeping). Maybe it's my way of relaxing - maybe it's part of my creative process. It's one of my quirks I guess! It's me.

A quiet weekend
Such bliss to have a quiet weekend! Lauren is away at Scout camp for a couple of nights and the house is tidy and peaceful! Of course I keep checking the weather forecast on the internet (they are in tents and rain is forecast), and I have my mobile phone in my pocket at all times. Can't wait for her to come home but I'm enjoying a little moment to myself. Hired some games and DVD's for the boys, and some soft drink and snacks, so they are quietly entertaining themselves

I know all about my precious time to scrap...and do the same thing you do...sit & browse...while instead I could have made like 2 pages...mmm!
200$ grocery shopping?? wow, that´s a lot of money!! We never spend more then 60$, but ok, we´re just with the two of us :-)
Have a great weekend!!
$150 is my average weekly grocery bill. Fruit, veg and meat has gotten to be so expensive. That doesn't include formula for a 5 month old or nappies(diapers) for 2 kids!
hehehe it's soooo easy to space out and waste hours and hours. Hope you had a great weekend ;)
Thanks for playing!
