Time is relative. I can remember hearing that I had 30 minutes before my mom was coming home and there wasn’t nearly enough time to finish my homework, clean the dishes or complete whatever task she had assigned that I farted around and didn’t finish. Then there were the days in school when the clock would tick, tick, tick slowly during that last half hour of the day. Now that I’m all grown up time flies. When I’m having fun, not having fun, whatevs.
This week Stasha is asking us for the top ten ways to spend 30 minutes.
1. Playing Candy Crush Saga.
Candy Crush saga is like Bejeweled meets Candy Land and it’s totally addictive. I usually go through all five lives in 30 minutes and, if I haven’t beat the level, have to wait until my lives are refilled.
I really need an intervention.
2. Watching The Big Bang Theory.
Knock, Knock, Knock…Penny
Knock, Knock, Knock…Penny
Knock, Knock, Knock…Penny
3. Listening to Morning Report on NPR.
I like to set my alarm early so I can play candy crush saga lay (lie?) in bed and listen to NPR. The relaxed pace at which the news is reported is the perfect way to start the day.
4. Wogging
The cardio portion of my workout ia about 30 minutes. So I walk/jog my way on the treadmill listening to showtunes.
5. Working a few rows of something.
My crojo is still low (hiyo!) but I have been working a few things at a time and the progress is coming. Slowly but it’s coming.
6. Cleaning my kitchen
Forreals.
Unless it’s frat house disgusting I can have the kitchen cleaned and ready for action in under 30 minutes.
7. Baking cookies with The Bee.
It actually takes us less time to inhale these delicious treats but we do our best. Mixing, scraping, tasting…I think I want some cookies!
8. Walking to Wawa while I’m at work.
Cause I like to meander and I think it’s good to be out of the library now that the weather is lovely. Also, the light at the corner of Lansdowne Ave is goofy.
9. Playing closet lotto.
I really need to go clothes shopping or just wash some clothes. It takes me forever to get dressed…this doesn’t fit. No this doesn’t! Crap…that’s stained! Or Lil has been using my shirt to lay (lie?) on. This fits but didn’t I wear that last week? Sigh and bah and humbug getting dressed in the AM is a trip!
10. Hanging up the phone with Effin Guy.
Despite the yawns and the drifting off (me) and the I need to finish this up (him) when we have that last conversation late at night there’s still that “Oh yeah!” moment right before we hang up and say good night and we have to share a thing or two or twelve.
Wow!
Typing this post took 30 minutes!
See you in a half,
