Isn't marijuana great, it's not the weed we grew up on. I'd rather smoke than drink - no hangover, and as you mentioned haven't experienced the munchies either. One of the positive side effects is in the bedroom, stoned sex is awesome

You must be referring to marital sex after the kids are born. No woman expects that to be enjoyable.

Using the carpet cleaner. DH bought a carpet cleaner, just water, no shampoo. He used it a couple times and then convinced me to try it. OMG the mucky water. I thought the vacuum got our area rugs reasonably clean. Nope. It's addictive to see if how many times I have to use it to lessen the dirt coming off the carpet.

Squeezing fresh orange juice. We bought a huge case of oranges for my kid's school fundraiser and had no idea what to do with it. So for the last three weeks I've been squeezing enough OJ for the week. So satisfying!

DH and I decided to step outside our comfort zone and went to a Saturday afternoon pool party at a swingers club. It was far more fun than I ever imagined. Other women encouraged me to take off my bathing suit and join them for jello shots which I did. Hubby was grinning ear to ear as he joined me in stripping down to nothing. The DJ played music that had people dancing in and around the pool. The party was great fun. Looking forward to going back next summer for more fun!


Oh my.

Gardening. I started last spring and have a new obsession. It's boring, but in a relaxing/peaceful one with nature kind of way. Gardening is my happy place.

I love it, too, though I have learned that I much prefer the outside stuff to indoors. The fresh air does me good.

Agreed, always found Pickleball to be great fun.

While in Florida played Pickleball naked at a nearby nudist resort. I don't want to play with clothes on again. I dread returning to the DMV in the spring and having to return to wearing clothes on the Pickelball court. It feels so natural to play without clothes.

I live in a rowhouse in the city, and I love sweeping the sidewalk in front of our house. It makes me feel like an old timey shopkeeper sweeping the street in front of my shop, or like my grandfather sweeping his work area. And it is crazy how much better the front looks when the sidewalk is swept.

Demolition Derby. My kids were dying to go to one and I was dreading it. I had so much fun.
