A 25th Hour - SPT

From Lelly: "what if there was a twenty-fifth hour of the day, an hour all to yourself! no commitments, no distractions, no need to sleep. what would you do?"

The answer to this lies on my nightstand. I'd read these books and finally put this photo album together. It's all a work in progress.


It always sounds like a great idea to have an extra hour. If I could scoop up all the random moments of the day that are free and quiet (like the 5 or 10 minute lull as I wait to pick up Jemma from preschool, and the 7-14 minute "snooze" between the time my alarm goes off and I actually get up....) they might make up one solid hour. The trouble is, an hour goes by fast.

p.s. I have a pretty loose interpretation of self-portrait. As in: it's not always a portrait of one's physical self.

I'm sure it would be upsetting to find how much time we'd have if we could scoop together all those 5 minute breaks during the day.

Photo albums...oh dear, I've been married for 7 years and we still haven't got a photo album done!

Reading's a popluar one, so far that I've read. I've yet to find anyone who's SPT'ed 'Exercise' for this one!

I have the exact same intereptation of self-portrait!
I like to take my book clubs in the car with me and then I get to read for 10 minutes while I wait to pick up the kids. It's only 10 minutes and it is with 2 toddlers yelling at me from time to time, but I have actually gotten through a couple of my books that way!

I like your idea of scooping together all the random moments here and there--very smart! How do we do that?!? :)

Love your nightstand (did you have to clean it up before you took the picture?) - reading and picures - some of my favorite things.
