Somedays, I feel like that's all I do! LOL.

Thanks for coming by, Evelyn!

Ha ha. My life hasn't actually changed all that much either. I've always been a homebody, but before the quarantine I definitely had a lot more places I had to be. I was a lot more productive back then, though. At least that's the way it seems.

YES! It's an obscure reference to a children's song I learned at church when I was a kid. It starts, "Oh, what do you do in the summertime when all the world is green? Do you fish in a stream, or lazily dream on the banks as the clouds drift by ..." If you really want to get the song stuck in your head, you can listen to it here: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/music/library/childrens-songbook/oh-what-do-you-do-in-the-summertime?lang=eng

That's so funny. I figured I was thinking of the wrong song, as it's not quite the same amount of syllables, but I'm glad to know I was right about it being from a song, at least. (The one it made me think of is "What Can You Do With a General?" from White Christmas.)

Cross-stitching is super easy. If you Google it, I'm sure you can find some excellent tutorials on YouTube or on cross-stitching websites. Materials are a little hard to come by right now - you would probably have to order everything online. It's a fun, relaxing hobby, though.

Thanks for stopping by, Lydia!

Awww, I'm so glad! Your comment made ME smile :)

Thanks for coming by, Louise!

Our weather has actually been really nice. I SHOULD be out taking walks every day. That would help with the quarantine weight gain.

Thanks for stopping by, Leslie!

I feel like I haven't been very productive, especially when I read friends' Facebook posts about all the yardwork, organizing projects, homeschooling, etc. they've been doing. I've been pretty lazy, really, but the beautiful thing is I don't feel THAT guilty about it :)

Thanks for coming by, Tonyalee!

Sometimes I look at a TTT topic and just come up TOTALLY blank! I guess I don't talk about certain books because I just don't remember them.

Cross-stitching really is easy. You'd be surprised. A quick YouTube tutorial is seriously all you'd need to get going.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sammie!

Aw, thanks :) You either laugh or you cry, I guess, and I'd rather laugh!

We went to the grocery store on Saturday morning intending to get fresh yeast and the entire baking aisle was cleared out! No flour, no sugar, no yeast. Luckily the yeast I had was unexpired and it proofed just fine, so we still got to have homemade rolls for Easter dinner :) It was a close call, though.

Ha! Sounds like your daughter is a better influence than mine. She just encourages me and vice versa. LOL.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

LOL. Well, I don't take it too seriously, so you would probably beat my socks off! I only play a couple people right now so I don't get too overwhelmed with games. If you want someone else to play, look me up - you might have to go easy on me, though :)

Thanks for coming by!

I've heard a lot of people say that they are having a really hard time concentrating on anything with this pandemic going on. Makes sense to me, but I still like getting lost in a good story.

Family history just fascinates me completely. I've had lots of fun learning about my ancestors and I want to help others do the same :)

Thanks for stopping by, Greg!

I haven't cross-stitched much in the last decade, but every once in awhile I get motivated to work on something. It's fun to create something cute and it also relaxes me.

It sounds like you're being far more productive than I am! I'm glad you get to spend more time with your parents. Everything changes once you go off to college, so enjoy these precious moments together :) My daughter is heading off to college in another part of the state in the Fall and I'm REALLY going to miss her when she does.

Thanks for coming by!

I'm glad I've held on to all my cross-stitching supplies. It's been fun to take up the hobby again.

Thanks for stopping by, Neeru!

Ha ha. I enjoy TTT so much that I hate skipping it, so I just twist the topic when it suits me :)

A month is great! I have a huge, very detailed family tree cross-stitch that I've been working on for FIFTEEN YEARS. I'm not even kidding. I found a huge mistake in it, too, so I've abandoned it instead of going through all the torture of picking out all of those erring stitches :(

Thanks for coming by!

That's a lot! The one thing we haven't done is pull out a puzzle. I'm not sure why not since both my husband and I like putting them together. We should get one out and make the kids get off their screens and help us put it together! Good, old-fashioned family fun, right?

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and commenting, Marg!

Ha ha. Cross-stitching is the only hand sewing I've ever been good at. I tried knitting at one point, but my hands just couldn't get it! Crochet was a little easier, but not great. Cross-stitching is easiest for me.

I should definitely be doing less reading and more cleaning, but who wants to do that?? LOL.

Thanks for coming by, Verushka!

You guys are making me feel so good about my use of time during the quarantine! And here I thought I was being super lazy :)

Online games are definitely helping those social butterflies out there. I don't chat at all in my online games, but my 11yo daughter loves to play video games with her friends from school. It's fun to hear them laughing and having fun even though they can't physically be together. I'm glad your mom has found a similar outlet.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Wow, that's a big commute! My elementary schooler rides the bus and my senior drives her freshman brother to school every day, so that's a big help to us (even though the high school is only a 10 minute drive away). My daughter will go off to college before my son gets his license, so SOMEONE will have to drive him next year. He's not going to like it when I tell him his new chauffeur will be the bus driver :)

Yeah, I have a hard time finding stuff on Netflix that (1) I want to watch and (2) is family-friendly enough to view in mixed company. My husband and I watched an oldie but goodie on Disney+ yesterday - Blackbeard's Ghost. It's dated, but still hilarious.

Not being able to celebrate special occasions together is one of the hardest things about this quarantine! Easter felt lonely without our usual extended family dinner. And birthdays must be so tough. We haven't experienced that yet, although we did have to cancel our daughter's high school graduation party :( Sad.

We did get news the other day that an extended family member has died from the virus after several weeks on a ventilator. Amid all my little complaints about the quarantine, I have to remind myself that people are still dying out there. It's sobering, for sure.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Thanks, Lark! The testing had already been postponed for a different reason, so I've had to be patient :) That's okay - more time to study.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

Agreed. Losing myself in books has always been my best and favorite escape :) I did pick my cross-stitching back up because I needed a little variety in my quarantine life, but reading has always been and will always be my favorite hobby.

Thanks for stopping by, Jenna!

Good for you getting out and getting your walk in! I've been terrible about exercising. The weather's been really nice around here lately, too, so I have NO excuse not to move a little! Good luck with your yoga. That's great that your teacher utilizes technology to keep her students motivated and learning during quarantine. Enjoy!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kay!

I should probably be doing more housework, but it's not like it's going anywhere, right? I definitely should be doing more walking and less eating!

Thanks for stopping by, Deanna!

I'm all thumbs when it comes to knitting! I'm glad you're loving it though.

And, seriously, I don't know what is up with quarantine laundry. My kids wear the same clothes every day, it seems, and there's STILL a never-ending mountain of laundry to do. It makes no sense!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cath!

I never even thought of stocking up on yeast! When I buy yeast, I buy it in jars so I do have some left but not much. No more homemade rolls, I guess. Boo hoo.

I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy!

My stomach cannot handle trampolines anymore! I used to be able to jump all day, do flips, etc. Now that I'm an old lady? Nope. Just watching the kids jump makes me nauseous!

Thanks for coming by, Lindsi!

Last time I went to the grocery store (Saturday), the entire baking aisle was cleared out. No flour, no sugar, no yeast, etc. People are either doing a lot of baking or hoarding everything. We've managed off what we had on hand, but we're running low. That's probably a good thing for our waistlines, too :)

Thanks for coming by, Sarah!

I'm trying to be productive, but I've felt very unmotivated to do much of anything except reading and cross-stitching. My kitchen is a constant wreck because everyone spends all day eating, it seems like! I've given up trying to keep it clean.

Thanks for stopping by, Carole!

I feel like I'm being really lazy, but I have gotten a few things done! We've yet to pull out a puzzle (although we have tons of them), but that's mostly because our puzzle table is covered in my husband's Legos! If he gets them all built, maybe we'll be able to do a puzzle before the quarantine ends :)

Thanks for stopping by, An!

I feel the same way. I'm a homebody and I always enjoy being at home, but I'm ready to at least be able to go a few places!

Thanks for coming by, Nicole!
