It’s been one of those weeks. I spent some time down the Jersey Shore with my family. We lost our beloved Nana a year ago and we attended a beautiful ceremony at the church where we said good-bye. It’s definitely been an emotionally charged week for me.
Having said that, I took some time away from Blogging as well. Although I’ve created new posts, I decided to shut the computer off for a night and just v-e-g out. So that’s exactly what I did.
I grabbed a package of my favorite potato chips:

Rob says
That sounds like a nice time. I like chips and wine (sometimes). Not a fan of The Hills or The City but I am a dude so I shouldn't be watching those shows anyway. LOL. Sorry about your Nana. Hope the week finishes out nicely for you.
Emma Louise says
Of Course The Wine.. That's the most important part of chilling out! My weekly treat of a bottle of rose is like tiny drops of heaven! 😀
tinahead81 says
mmm…chips! lol sounds like the perfect time out!!
Maria @ Conversations with Moms says
Sounds like a great time out. Sometimes just hanging out is just what I need too.
singedwingangel says
So sorry for the loss of you Nana. My shows are more along the lines of CSI and Antiques Road show.. I have my DVR set to automatically tune to them every Thursday night, although my children watch CSI with me I usually get the road show alone lol…
The Penny-Pinching Mama says
Our time outs sound eerily similar!
If it were after noon, I would have grabbed some wine on my time out too!
Great job!
Kmama says
Ha ha ha. I love The Hills. However, I haven't watched any this season. Life is just super busy right now. Someday it will slow down!
Mrs. G.I. Joe says
Doing something brainless is ALWAYS my favorite way to spend free time!

Perfect time out! Glad you enjoyed.
yonca says

Foursons says
So glad it's not just me who watches The Hills. Although honestly, I haven't watched at all this season without L.C.
Elise says
great !
Frugal Vicki says
I love the Hills. I haven't seen the City yet, don't know why. I love to hate Kristen.
I think vegging out sounds perfect. I need a night like that!
Corrie Howe says
Wine, chips and my favorite TV show with my husband is how I spend three or four nights a week after the kids are in bed!!
Martinis or Diaper Genies? says
I am so with you on the hills city. But are you finding that there are more commercials now than actual show?
Theta Mom says
Couldn't agree with you more girl! However, I usually watch it on DVR, so I fast forward through them. The actual show is probably like 13 mintues!
Katrina says
I did the exact same thing last night. You don't know how happy it makes me that you watch those shows. I've been teased relentlessly by my family the past few days for watching them!!
shortmama says
Sometimes some good food and tv is just the pick me up we need!
Hope you are feeling better!
nonstopmama says
Glass of red and crisps – as we quaintly call them here! – work just as well for this English mama!! Loving your writing and inspiring! Jenx
Tater Tot Mom says
Sometimes, vegging out is just as great as getting out!
shawn says
I'm Sorry about your loss.
I ate chips last night too with Heluva Good French Onion Dip. Yummy-just what I shouldn't have done. It's always nice just to veg out!! I love to watch Grey's and Private Practice on Thursday nights.
Mama4Real says
Oh wow. I used to watch the Hills! I love Lauren. CAN NOT HANDLE Kristin or the "Speidy" drama. And um… is there a person on earth as dull as Audrina? So, once Lauren left, so did I. Should she re-enter my TV guide, I'll follow her where'er she goes 😉
kys says
Nothing wrong with that! Vegging is the story of my life.
Sophia's Mom says
Your post about your nana was beautiful!
As for your time-out, isn't it great to just sit on the couch and do nothing?!

Susan Fobes says
There's nothing wrong with chips, wine, and sitting in front of the no-think tank! Sounds good to me.
Loukia says
I so need some wine tonight! I've been under so much stress lately! And can I please be as thin as anyone on the Hills, please? 😉
Today, I got my highlights re-done, a great haircut and blow-dry. My head feels great!
Midday Escapades says
Hey, we're so alike – I also love chips and The Hills and The City! So glad you got your time out.

I'm so sorry about your Nana. Hope you had a great time on the Jersey Shore.
Chips and wine are a perfect way to spend the evening!

Hey, sounds like another great time out for you. I love eating potato chips. I pick those over sweets everytime! I hope to get a post done here shortly for my time out last night.
Flory says
Chips and wine sounds like a great combo!
Miti says
Hey Theta Mom! What a great idea! A mommy time out sounds so nice. I'm definitely gonna try to put myself in time out more often. And, when I do, I'll be sure to link up.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
You definitely deserved a Theta Moment. Great way to veg out!
Take care!
G-Zell says
OK I did it I post my time out thursday today LOL

Menopausal New Mom says
Hi, when you get a minute, take a swing by my place, I have an award for you!
The imPerfect Housewife says
You deserve every single minute of your night off and every single chip and sip of wine (or gulp, whichever, no one's watching). Mental exhaustion is just as tiring as physical exhaustion. Have a great weekend ~ ♥
