So what do you do on weekends when Keith isn't on?
Wistfully fantasize about him? Dream? Make macaroni collages in his honor?

I pretty much watch sports and read. But I've been doing that ever since I can remember, before I ever got cable. :)

Some of you cry yourself to sleep. Don't lie! :)

1. I'm too damn busy to cry myself to sleep!
Weekends are the days I get caught up on all the stuff at home I don't have time to do during the week! This weekend was spent going to the grocery store, library & bank, doing laundry, starting spring cleaning, doing taxes, fun fun fun. I admit this was a slower weekend than normal since my friends were all out of town. Usually we go to a movie or dinner or even "Sin City" (San Antonio).

My one wish would be that weekends would be 3 days long so I actually have a day to rest. :crazy:

2. LOL, my weekends would have to be 4 days long
to incorporate time for rest. I vaguely remember the concept of "rest". It ended when Miss Personality was born.

Subtract the library and taxes, add a migraine, double the laundry, add a trip to buy new tennis shoes (and why are tennis shoes made on Asian lasts? I want comfortable walking shoes, not a friggin' fashion statement) a husband who's out of town, a small child who's been to the zoo, a heart-to-heart with a friend who's seriously depressed, church obligations, and you've got my weekend. Oh, and toss in baking some bread and giving the husband a good sendoff. :evilgrin:

Unless I have to pack his lunch or wash his clothes, KO sort of fades into the background on the weekends.

6. thanks
:hug: I've got some good drugs so it's mostly faded into the background until tomorrow morning, when it may show up again. (My headaches tend to last for 3 days although they've become positively scarce and generally milder since the last increase in my thyroid medication :shrug: Problem is, I haven't been sleeping much lately and that's a definite trigger. Did it to myself this time.)

So, did you check out anything good at the library? Maybe even some books? ;-)

7. LOL
One doesn't go to the library here to check out the local talent, ifyouknowwhatimean. ;) But I will be in a certain court tomorrow & one of the public defenders is rather easy on the eyes. :evilgrin: and he's single. :thumbsup:

15. snort. Forget it.

I'm smoochy in love with him. And even if I weren't, there are still some people who are hung up on that monogamy thing. :shrug:

on edit: 'sides, I'm saving up for the welcome home party. :smoke:

12. geez we're opposites
I'm usually really busy during the week, but on weekends I get to laze around. I do have to do a lot of reading for homework etc, but it's not like that stuff is strenuous or anything.

16. strange, from your few allusions to it
Edited on Mon Feb-27-06 03:03 PM by gkhouston
and my limited experience of real courtroom drama, I would have described your job as surreal. :7

17. It has its moments

One of my atty friends who always has a bottle of water with him actually did this: :spray:

19. No
the judges here always advise the idiots it's best that they get an attorney & they'd prefer for them to get one to "preserve their rights." (ie, prevent the train wreck that will happen if you insist on representing yourself)

5. I have no life.
All I do is work during the day, watch Keith at night, and sleep during the weekends. I have no energy for a life.

You should take exercise classes or something. I find that gives me a lot more energy. :hug: Have you had your health checked?

11. my energy gets sapped too
I need to workout more. I used to be a competitive and serious athlete, but now that I'm retired I don't do a whole lot. That helps me, I just need to be more dedicated. You should try to make time to do something like that.

14. Start finding the time
That's what I had to do, even though it means I have to get up at 4:45am 3 days a week.

You have to take care of yourself first; everything else is secondary.

10. yes she does rock!
I give great massages btw. I am a man of many talents. Well, ok, I am mediocre at many things.

General tidying and laundry are a must!
