(Some mornings I can even manage to balance our check book then.) I think that's why I try to get to bed early-ish . . . so I can get up as early as possible. But because I haven't been sleeping well lately, I truly am tempted to give a shot at not spending so much time in bed at night. Maybe I really don't need as much sleep as I think I do?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-40513222522152774392010-10-12T19:06:08.267-05:002010-10-12T19:06:08.267-05:00You guys have waaaaaaaaaaaaay to much time on your...You guys have waaaaaaaaaaaaay to much time on your hands.<br />love ya.popsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-47868887075890865162010-10-12T16:17:57.188-05:002010-10-12T16:17:57.188-05:00Jan, are those sad books?

Yeah me! My swing returned to me! But now to books! All of Jennifer Weiner's books are great reads, especially her first one "Good in Bed", which is not really about THAT at all. Also "Fly Away Home" and "Best Friends Forever". Then of course there are all of Emily Giffin's books. Loved "Heart of the Matter".<br /><br />As for audio books, I used to listen to them on my long commute to and from work but found myself too distracted and couldn't follow well. But that's just me! I know if I tried listening to a book AND knitting, one of them would surely suffer. Either a missed stitch or missed words. So I'll stick with my Nook!! I've never been great with multi-tasking! :-)<br /><br />Morning and coffee?

Aim for 7 am first and see if you can still put one foot in front of the other. 5 hours works for me usually, but I don't think a week long trial would be good for you -latte or not!<br /><br />If I sleep past 7 on any given day, that gives me a headache too. There is no justice in that! How I wish I could sleep till 9 and not pay for it all darn day!<br /><br />Aren't mornings great though? I love the peacefulness of it.The Apple Pie Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10340020795649093810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-16178325831176962542010-10-12T14:07:05.871-05:002010-10-12T14:07:05.871-05:00Oh, how I wish I could get by on that little sleep...Oh, how I wish I could get by on that little sleep! (I could get so much more done.) Hey, maybe I should try an experiment for a week or so. (I'm serious, maybe I SHOULD try that.)<br /><br />We have little Panasonic recorders ('bout 3" x 4") that hold a single cassette tape and operate on two AA rechargeable batteries. Very low-tech. You can still get a gazillion audio books on cassettes through the Mail-A-Book division of our library.<br /><br />Okay, tonight I'm reading until 2 a.m., sleeping for a couple of hours, getting up at 5:30 with hubby, then mainlining lattes. Check.

Then I sleep a few hours and get up, drink lots and lots of coffee and complain that I have a headache cuz I stayed up to late reading, drink more coffee, take aspirin, drink more coffee. See, now you really do have time!<br /><br />What do you guys listen to these audio tapes on?

Problem is I can usually only stay awake for about four pages. :o(<br /><br />BUT you gals have all got to get with audio tapes. I listen to them every day. While I'm doing dishes, weeding in the garden, taking a shower (hubby is hooked, too, and we have special hook in the shower for the tape player), quilting (like I've done much of that lately!), driving in the car, doing any dull and boring task.

I have never tried an audio book, but I would seriously consider it as multi-tasking seems like an excellent option!<br /><br />Jane, hahaha! YouTube porn...that's awesome! And yes, I have seen the guys on Supernatural and don't blame you one bit! You told us that b/c it was a confession day. Ha! Thanks for sharing, I laughed a good one!<br /><br />Jan, yes, Nook leads to alot more reading and alot less sleep for sure! But golf, eh...not for me. I'd probably wrap a club around someone and then call it an accident. Want to go golfing with me now??? Ha!

As for our Nooks? Can't imagine life without it. Thought I would not like it because I love the feel of a book but after about 10 minutes of reading on it, I was a convert!!! I too have read more than I ever have! Aweseome! <br /><br />Off to obsess on the golf course!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350012857358939874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-23056387807680346442010-10-12T07:50:42.792-05:002010-10-12T07:50:42.792-05:00Ok, I do not read fiction much because it hurts my...Ok, I do not read fiction much because it hurts my eyes after a while, and NOT because I need READING GLASSES! (I am not taking this aging thing well). But I do have an embarassing TV show I watch. Ok I watch.... Supernatural. It is the dumbest show ever but have you seen these guys on this show with their shirts off? Oh MAMA! And here is where it gets worse. I then watch the scenes again on youtube, I call it my youtube porn.

I admit my first foray into this type of "literature" was the Twilight series - I absolutely abbhor the thought of teen novels, but I was in serious need of some reading material and my neighbor brought over her beautiful boxed set and I was hooked! Now I have some "adult" stuff to check out! I am embarrassed to admit that I'm a sucker for some of this smut LOL! I can't bring myself to get the reader, I still love the feel of a book in my hand, HOWEVER - I am starting to see the benefit of audiobooks since I am using my books as a reason for having no time to knit or get on the treadmill!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
