Maryse's ways of wasting time, listed here, are many the things I said I used to do in the post below.
Coincidence?
The thing is - I used to have quite a lot of time to "waste." Three years ago I worked a forty hour work week, approximately 10 of which was actual work. When I say I barely did anything - I mean it was downright painful how little I did. Painful like so bored I wanted to poke my eyes out. Not because I didn't do my work, but because there wasn't work for me to do. It was out of that desperation that I began reading knitting blogs and writing my own. And on the home front, of course, there were no babies. There was a LOT of time to do things - time to spare. Time to waste.
Now, as you all know, I have no time. No time to spare at work or at home, no time to complete all my work by the deadlines, no time to clean my house, nothing. Those things I listed below - that used to be ways of wasting time, are now the things that I have to fight for, to slip in here and there - wherever I can. How strange to go from one extreme to the other in all areas of my life. Hello? Balance please??
Tomorrow at work we are packing up and moving to a different building - the move starts at 1, which means a free half day for those of us that are relocating. Can't work when all of our stuff is in transit, so we get to go home.
An afternoon to myself! What to choose from the list below...
About Me

- It occurs to me that there are a lot of "Bella Blu" named things out there - a maternity line, a knitting company - this blog has nothing to do with them. Bella and Blu are the middle names of my twins and this blog will mostly babble on about them and what it's like being their mama. There may be some knitting and spinning content in here too, if the babies would just stay still a moment.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have a few good hours for yourself, to spend how you please. Mwah!
Damn damn damn and double dog damn, if I'd been regularly reading blogs, I'd have known that you had a half day and could have not asked Dave to take the half day (yeah it was totally me asking him ...). Booger. Hope you enjoyed your afternoon of knitting in beautiful weather. We ran errands and took a nap.
