Different strokes for different folks!



The common chant on  a Monday would be

“What did you this weekend?”



Why is it important to “do something”, what is the “something” that others expect you to do?

Is it considered boring to do some cooking, cleaning, washing, watching TV, shopping, playing and just lazing??

Also as time goes by, every weekend when I say the same, am considered  “boring”

Everyone expects the response to be “went rafting, did bungee jumping, traveling,  play watching, pub hopping, partying……”



So I answer “ I did nothing”.



In reality, I did so much, and enjoyed myself thoroughly doing it all!!



We cooked and baked and experimented and overcame fears! We did fail in our experiment though!

We cleaned and dusted till the house resembled a dust cloud!

We studied for tests, did our homework!

We did loads of laundry, taking advantage of the sun playing peek-a -boo

We shopped for grocery for the week! all the junk we wanted to:)

We skipped, ran and cycled!

We watched the most improbable movie- 10,000 BC and stayed up late till it got over!

We watched the hyped about ShahRukh Khan Deepika starrer and laughed at his antics!

We drank hot soup, bit through frozen chocolates and hurriedly stuffed  veggies in to have more time to savor the yummilcious lunch!!

We tried reading books!

We got hooked to Comedy Central and found re-runs of Mind your language still worth talking about! And laughing aloud!

We laughed till we actually fell of our couch.

We rolled in bed, we lazed around.



The “We” made the mundane much more fun!



What I did not do is

I did not leave the kids and escape to meet  friends..

I did not talk to people who made me regret many decisions from my past..
I did not log into my office network and end up surfing the net aimlessly...
I did not leave the kids to go on a long run by myself or biking down trails!


          
Yes, I had a wonderful weekend !!

Try my weekend menu, it does so much good for your body and soul!
and keeps you looking and feeling young!!
