Fun times at home

After a long day at work, what do you do when you get home? After I acknowledge the tail wagging that greets me at the door, I drop my work stuff, change to comfy clothes, grab dinner (usually made by J and waiting for me to reheat), check on K and J's days, and then settle in for....

• TV - from the night before. Yes, the DVR has changed our lives. Why watch it live when you can watch it the next night with no commercials? Plus, some of the shows come on later than everyone is up. Not later than me, but it isn't nearly as much fun to watch by myself.
• Catch up - on Facebook, Twitter, personal email, and my blog. Pretty much in that order too.
• Play - a few favorite games: Words with Friends on my iPad (or at least check to see if anyone has played since I did last); Solitaire; FooPets (through my Facebook account); and Angry Birds (if I'm not too disgusted with my current losing streak).
• Hound loving - whether it's stroking ears or rubbing bellies, a day isn't complete without a little one-on-one hound time. And once in awhile we get a game of retrieve going or chase around the kitchen with the laser light. That would be me retrieving and throwing again in hopes of a hound getting the toy and me running around the kitchen with the light while the hounds follow at their houndly pace barking in pure enjoyment.

After this much fun, bed is beckoning me, which means peaceful reading time. The perfect way to wind down and end a fun evening at home.
