After the winter we had in New England, ANY sunny day is a reason to play hooky :)

Happy Friday ...

The warmer weather is always a good reason to play hooky (at least once a week). :) Have a great weekend.

Good ones, Carol. Numbers 8, 8, 4 and 1 worked for me earlier this week. Our son was visiting so we went to a movie. The weather has been so pretty I have been out a lot planting new annuals and tending rose bushes, etc. Now I need to make up for slacking for three days.

Here's a pathetic writer one to add to the list:
"Because you'd rather be writing."

a lil cousin once buried our car keys in beach sand. She was evil, luckily she's all grown up now.

Lola Sharp said…
I'm still waiting on the beautiful weather. It's FINALLY sunny today, but a high of 42 degrees. *pouts* Now they're saying snow on Sunday night. Evil, I tell you.

#5 sounds rather nice right now. :)

Happy weekend, Carol!

Love,
Lola

Lydia - For sure!

I usually feel too guilty to play hooky, but sleep sounds good. I'm getting sleepy thinking about it.

Great reasons to play hooky. Now I just need ten ways to get me out of the guilt I feel afterward. Have a great weekend.

Carol Kilgore said…
Arlee - Rest up. April will be busy!

The Happy Whisk - Winter needs to take a hike.

Clarissa - Hooky is a guilt-free activity. Or it should be :)

Great top ten!!! Love them all - especially shopping. I want/need new clothes. Yes, I do. =D

The Happy Whisk said…
I'm okay with it still being here but I am also really looking forward to getting outside and playing in my veg and flower garden. Gotta get a new table and chairs for the yard, too, this year.

Do you like to write outside? Or read outside? I love it. Ah ... the good life.

Have a great weekend. Supper's nearly done and the house smells yummy.

RaShelle - I need clothes, too. Today I bought a pair of capris, a pair of shorts, and a t-shirt. Writers' clothes - LOL.

The Happy Whisk - I like to read outside a lot. I like to write there, too, but not much writing gets done. I'm much more productive inside with fewer distractions. Getting ready to start dinner here - tacos!

Had to check in on your top ten. Now, "Dog swallowing car keys is definitely a winner. Have to remember that.
Hope you're having a Sunny Sunday.

Manzanita - I figured you'd get that one! Cloudy today and warm. We're having a bbq.
