lost weekend

I had every intention of making this a "working" weekend. I was going to clean out and organize the  computer/craft room, clean out my closet, do laundry and some other household chores. Where did I go wrong? I blame it on Roku, Netflix, Downton Abbey, facebook, Words with Friends and this blog.

The kids got us the Roku player as a Christmas gift year before last. It's a fabulous little box that hooks up to the TV and Wi-Fi then enables you to stream and watch movies and shows on tv  through Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon. It's a wonderful thing. My big accomplishment for the weekend so far is that we have watched 3 movies, American Splendor, Mother and Child and Thirteen. Most importantly, I have finally found out why everyone raves about Downton Abbey. I have watched the complete 1st season (7 episodes) and am now about to start my 3rd episode of season 2. WONDERFUL show - I guess that's why it's a Masterpiece Classic on PBS. I so highly recommend this series if you like British period dramas. I can't believe it took me so long to get around to watching it. Maggie Smith is still "all that and a bag of chips!"

Otherwise, the only productive housework I've gotten done this weekend is 3 loads of laundry. The weekend went by and the computer room and my closet are in exactly the same condition they were in last week. Trying not to feel guilty about it because I do feel rather rested after a 'lost weekend.' Maybe I will get my chores done next weekend...
