It’s a lazy afternoon. What to do? What to do? Some people
keep themselves so busy that they will never have an afternoon empty with
nothing to do. I say every now and then, everyone needs am afternoon where they
can just sit back and do nothing important and do something completely frivolous.
I’ve come up with my top 5 ways I love to spend a lazy afternoon.
#5: Movie Marathons
Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc etc. A lazy afternoon or day
for that matter, is a great time to have a movie marathon. Just sit back and go
on a wild adventure. The Star Wars saga from Episode 1 to Episode VI is a total
of 791 minutes, roughly 13 hours of space adventures. Plus when you add the new
episodes coming out in the next few years…an entire day spent!!! Harry Potter
films run roughly 19 hours and the Lord of the Rings with the extended versions
can easily take an entire day!!!
#4: TV Marathons
With my TV shows being released on DVD or entire seasons on Netflix, it’s easy
to sit back and watch your favorite show non-stop. My favorite shows to watch
are NCIS, Gilmore Girls, The Big Bang Theory, Friends (can’t forget Friends!)
and so many others.
#3: Board Games with
the family Now that my daughter is old enough to play board games, my
husband and I will sit down and play for a couple hours or more. My daughter
really loves Monopoly right now. And yes, we have the adult version which she
has picked up fairly easily. While she doesn’t understand the whole concept of
the game, she enjoys moving her token around the board, buying property and
collecting rents. She’ll change her token several times in the course of a game
but she will sit and play and laugh as her dad is shocked when she wins!
#2: Writing Even
though writing is sort of my job now, I see it as a way to past the time on
lazy afternoons. I will write short stories, and catch up on future posts on my
blog. I love to have weeks of posts ready to go.
And my #1 favorite way to spend a lazy afternoon….
#1: Reading
Reading, of course!!! Curl up with a good book and lose hours in its pages. And
it doesn’t have to be a new book. I’ve picked up old favorites and reread the
fabulous stories.
With having a four year old, truly lazy afternoons don’t
come often but when they do, these activities are my best way to spend the
time. What are some of your favorite ways to spend a lazy afternoon? It really
doesn’t matter what you do. As long as you enjoy it! So embrace those lazy
afternoons!
