Circe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,834 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/26/2007	It's a weekend alone at Casa Circe - Odysseus is away on business. After all of the holiday travel and concomitant company, it's almost jarring to have so much silence. So hit me with suggestions! What do you do to luxuriate in solitude? And I do mean solitude - no suggestions of Girls Nights!

I make a big pot of tea and lie in bed with a good book or magazine. I put on some soothing music like Katie Melua and turn off all the lights, and sit on the couch and watch the city lights. I order food in and rent movies if I am being really lazy. And I spend a lot of time on the computer obviously ! I love my solitude, but I have always been a bit of a hermit!

PJ's & No make up from the moment you get in. Cleaning & Organising - finally you can reorganise your filing cabinet, clean the oven, de-scale the kettle, bleach the shower tiles....! Teach the dog a new trick - you certainly have time! Organise your closet & send the excess to charity...so cleansing.... Get little dumbbell weights and work your arms while you watch TV - nobody will mock you! (except the dogs.) Make a list of all the movies you wanted to watch but were scared to suggest because they are too childish/girlie etc and start renting them! Find a great place to hike if the weather is great. Bake a new recipe sweet or savoury, you decide. Circe, you may have so much fun you request more alone time.

If I am feeling like I want the silence, I'll read a book. If I am feeling crazy, I put on some music and dance - like something in a Girls Just Want To HAve Fun video montage. If I am feeling in tune w myself, I'll write poetry or journal... to track finances, life goals, etc. Enjoy this time... it isn't often you get to hear yourself think! "I like smiling.
