With some extra time, I would…
- Take a moment to walk around our neighborhood
- Say an extra prayer of thankfulness for all my blessings & life lessons
- Sew something fun for myself
- Paint my fingernails hot pink
- Have lunch with an old friend
- Skip an extra lap around our house
- Read a book, Page 1 through Page The End, in one sitting
What would you do?
PS. This day, five months ago, I worked my very last day as an employee for someone else. Can you believe it?! I love this Gussy girl job! :]

i always need more time in a day!! i could create more items for my shop, blog more, visit more blogs, and have time for work and my friends!! right now i do it all… but i seriously forgo working out and sleep and that’s prob not too healthy!!

I think with my extra time I would still sleep :) but I like your list too.

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been five months.
Yes, I love having the time to get lost in a good book. I’m bringing my Kindle with me this weekend. Hopefully, I can get some reading in. Fingers crossed.

I always wish for more thime in the day! Right now I would love to finish my christmas quilt and pillows! OH, and like you, I WISH I had time to read a book!! It has been very long time!
[Reply]
More time?? HA! If I did have more time, I for sure would lock myself in my craft room and finally finish up some of my projects that have just been sitting there looking sad just waiting for me!

Happy monthervarsary :-) I’m very much hoping (and looking forward to) being able to leave my current job in pursuit of my dream to run my handmade business out of my home someday. :-)

With extra time I would, take 45 minutes and run outside, clean my house from top to bottom, paint my fingernails and toenails, finish reading a book I started MONTHS ago.

You would think that being a SAHM I would have tons of free time, but my little one keeps me busy! Love you list, some of those would be on my list as well! Congrats on 5 months being a FREE lady!!!

The hot pink nails made me smile. I can’t even think of what I would do. My brain is too befuddled from small children. But the first thing that comes to mind is sleep and quiet time.

Hello. :) I found your blog from a few different people and love it! Ever since having my first son 4 months ago, I long to sit down and read like the “old” days. But I can barely get through a page these days! Oh well….he’s worth it.

With extra time I would work on my blog, my etsy site and facebook page! There isn’t enough time in the day after going to my 8-5 job and constantly writing papers for my MBA… Congrats on your five monthaversary! That’s awesome!
[Reply]
Congratulations on your five month! That is wonderful!
