10 Things to Do Instead of Watching TV

1.  Knit - Even though I'm usually knitting if I am watching TV, I do find it very nice to knit in complete silence sometimes.

2.  Spin -  I especially like to spin while on the deck; there's just something about being outside enjoying the fresh air while spinning.

3.  Weave - I haven't actually done this yet; Dana gave me a great little Cricket loom for my birthday and I have yet to find the (quiet) time to learn how to use it.  I think it'll come to tax school with me next week - I'll have plenty of free, quiet time in the evenings.

4.  Play with a kid - if you're lucky like I am, you'll have one close at hand, if not, borrow a grandchild, a niece or nephew or a friend's kid. 

5.  Go for a walk, preferably with a friend.  I've been walking a lot lately with a friend and it's been great.  It's not only good for your body, it's also good for your mind.

6.  Visit a friend.

7.  Read - I've been using Chris' Kindle and actually doing some reading this summer.  I love it, so I ordered my own.  It's great to have as many books as I want sitting on the table next to me in the living room taking up less space than one actual book would!

8.  Spend time on the internet - read blogs, facebook, Ravelry - whatever you enjoy.

9.  Take a nap - I love an afternoon nap on the weekends.  Hell, who am I trying to fool?  I'd love an afternoon nap every day!

10. Put on your princess dress and dance.

Weave, huh? Good luck with that.

I love my ebook reader!! Have you subscribed to the Books on the Knob blog so you can get alerted about lots of Kindle freebies?!

I really enjoy weaving on my loom, but I'm pathetically bad about getting things done. I warped it a month or more ago, and keep forgetting to pull it out of the closet to actually get it done!

Awww I want a princess dress!! :)

I want a princess dress too (and the little princess in the video). :) Have fun with the Cricket when you get the time. I haven't touched the Dorothy yet, but I hope to soon. Busy, busy...I know.

#10, you're killin' me. :^D Do they make those dresses in women's sizes? #5, I'd love to go for a walk with you. xoxox

Mostly I just sleep until I can watch TV again. However, I never thought about getting a princess dress. That might just open up a whole new TV-free world to me!!!

Gotta love that princess dancing! :o)
