This Will Make You Feel Better About Yourself

Last weekend my wife and kids went to Moab without me. I'm in a play right now and wasn't able to go with them because of that and some other commitments. So, I sent them away as I waved from the driveway, knowing they'd have fun and that I'd be alone.

There's a lot I could have done with my alone time. I could have gone to some movies in a theater, taken a shot at making our crap yard look a little better, hung out in my underwear, visited friends and family in the area, or made the world better. I did not do those things.

Here is a list of what I did do last weekend from 2 p.m. Saturday until 11:30 p.m. Sunday night so you can feel better about yourself or envy me for how much media homework I got done.

• Did one load of laundry and folded another.
• Cleaned the kitchen.
• Did the dishes.
• Played Mortimer in Hale Center Theater Orem's production of Arsenic and Old Lace.
• BBQ'd a bison steak.
• Taught Primary.
• Walked the dogs.
• Convicted a shark of murder.
• Watched the following films or TV shows on the television in my home:
• The Werewolf of London
• The Last Man on Earth
• Season of the Witch
• Film Noir Collection: Detour
• 3 episodes of Breaking Bad
• 2 episodes of Torchwood
• 1 episode of Alphas
• 3 episodes of Suits
• 3 episodes of Falling Skies
• (That's roughly 12.5 hours worth)
• Played some FIFA 12, SvZ Def, and Lock n' Roll DX on my iPad
• Took two naps.
• Slept for 9 hours on Saturday night.
• Checked Instagram regularly for photos of my family because I really really missed them.
