Question 7 ~ all alone!

What is your favorite thing to do when you are alone in your home?

I am hardly ever alone.. but when I get some time alone here, I like to put on one of my favorite CD's, turn it up very loud, and dance.  Now I CAN do this when everyone is home and often do, but when I'm alone I don't get those "you're a freak" looks.  A few other things I enjoy are watching a movie (NO interruptions!) reading, and cleaning.  I prefer to clean when I'm the only one home.  Like I said though I don't have much alone time around this zoo.  So when I can I try to enjoy it!

**Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Well, now that I'm unemployed and home all of the time while hubby is working, I like to crochet, play on the computer, watch t.v..  Surprisingly enough it does get boring and that is when I start doing housework!  LOL!  I'm really looking forward to Spring and warmer weather.  I need to get out, take walks, go for long drives.  Sheila

Well the old saying goes:
"I may be lonely, But Im never alone"

I rarely get time alone at the house with having 4 children. But on the rare occasion that I do, I like to just sit in my chair and sip coffee.
Just to be able to sit for 30 minutes without hearing:

- whats for dinner
- why cant i play basketball in the living room
- he stole my pencil
- I took a bath the other day
- why cant i have cake and ice cream in the livingroom

Just being able to sit and relax for 30 minutes. I love the silence.
It is music to my ears.............

I like to listen to music, noodle around on the computer, sit around and ponder the fate of mankind in my alone time(alright, so the last part might be a little over the top), I do find, I really enjoy, viewing other journals, much like this one, and just see that no matter where we are in the world, we all go through the same stuff.

Alone time?  What's that?  When I do get some alone time I like to take a long hot bubble bath (no interuptions!), catch up on 'my' shows , i.e. no cartoons; and play on the computer... or take a nap!  Bliss!

I use my alone time to play around on the computer, try to keep up with my journals.  And read!!  I love to read.  Right now I am into crime and mystery novels.  Sometimes I will just read biographies.  Just whatever the mood I am in wants to read..lol..The one I am reading now, is Johnathon Kellerman's Therapy.

i very rarely get any alone time, but my favorite thing besides sitting quietly enjoying the peace, is to play the piano- i love to get lost in music- i can work out my frustrations, celebrate my joys, or drown my sadness and i can always find a piece of music to play that suits my mood- i have even composed some of my own music that i like to play for no one's enjoyment but my own!

Just like everyone else here, I rarely get time alone at home. But when I do, I take a long uninterrupted nap! :)

I hardly ever get alone time.  I used to take hot baths before I married and had children.  I would burn candles and enjoy being in the moment in my own thoughts.  I just thought of this.  I haven't done that in about 7yrs.  Now if I am alone (rarely) I will try to get something that needed to be done-done!  How sad, I think it is time to fit something for me in.  I do go to my local gym 3-4 times per week to work out.  That I do for myself because it makes me feel good.

What I would do is very much like what you wrote!  I get very little uninterrupted time to myself.

Home alone?????? What is that?  I have four beautiful but never leaving children that are always here.  I cannot remember the last time I was alone anywhere for that matter because even the bathroom is not safe in this house. I guess if I were ever alone I would probably fall out from going into shock over the quiet and stillness of it all, lol.
