No kiddo. No Dad-oo. Just me, the dogs and plenty of time on my hands. So what did I do? Here are the 10 ten things that I did.

<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Shopping!!!!</strong></span> Yes, all 4 exclamation points are necessary. This included 45 hours of shopping in 2.5 inch heels. Ouch. I could hardly walk after, but it was totally worth it.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Order Chinese Take-Out </strong></span>One of my fave go-to meals. Kung Pao Tofu with Crab Rangoon. I would eat this every day if I could.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Catch Up on the <a href="http://savvyblogging.net/" target="_blank">#savvyblogging</a> Twitter party</strong></span> <em>(thanks to <a href="http://www.withpurpose.com/2010/01/22/what-i-learned-at-the-savvyblogging-twitter-party/comment-page-1/#comment-5194" target="_blank">with Purpose</a> for her recap) </em>I learned a lot. Mostly I&#8217;m doing a pretty decent job so far, but I needed some ideas to increase readers. Like participating in blog carnivals and memes. Just like this one over at <a href="http://ohamanda.com/about-2/top-ten-tuesday/" target="_blank">Oh Amanda</a>.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Have a Big Old Glass of Wine </strong></span>I had no where to drive and no little one to look after. Mmmmmmmmm.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Try Out Yoga on Wii Fit<img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alnso-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002BWOW3Q" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong></span> (thumbs down). Of course, that was after I found the disk tucked away under the record player. The kiddo&#8217;s favorite hiding place.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Get Up Early to Hit the Gym</strong></span> Then hit sleep a few times. Finally turn the alarm off and just sleep.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Make Pizza</strong></span> with my <a href="http://momadvice.com" target="_blank">MomAdvice</a>-inspired <a href="http://alli-n-son.com/2010/01/25/whole-wheat-and-wheat-grem-pizza-dough/" target="_blank">homemade pizza dough</a>, complete with homemade pizza sauce and pomegranate BBQ sauce.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Spend Some Quality Bonding Time with a Long-Lost Friend</strong></span> Well, not really lost, but someone who I never seem to spend enough time with.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Minor Home Repairs</strong></span>, cleaning, organizing and other necessities that I just can&#8217;t seem to get done when the family is around.</li>
<li><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Let Myself be Lazy. </strong></span>Or as lazy and I can be. Which means running around the house until I&#8217;m too exhausted to do anything else.</li>
