Mandy writes music. Mandy leads worship. Mandy loves Drew.
YOU are that person at the beach that makes my beach time so awkward…….8)
Most of the same stuff you mentioned… on a mountain side. (Not the game or the tanning though.)
Play with my kids! Spend time in worship! Reading the Bible. Speinding time with my husband!
Yeah. I could spend hours and hours and hours and hours writing a single post. And I’m so critical of my own work that I am convinced it shows when I DON’T spend hours and hours and hours and hours on a single post.
Read other people’s blogs!!
Knitting!!
Reading, listening to music, writing, listening to people.
oh man…hours doing..uh…yeah I cant really talk about that on a blog…
i like to read. lol
I’m with you, girl — I can hang out on the beach for hours and hours and hours (but haven’t had the opportunity to do so yet this year – boo). I also love hanging out with the husb for hours on end, riding bikes and napping. Ooohh… hanging out on the beach for hours, going for a nice bike ride on the island and then taking a long nap, all with my husb. Now THAT’S a great day!
Still envying your time on the beach — enjoy it!
But really, I love the beach and everything you mentioned. Well, everything except the tanning and running part.
I love to just sit on the beach and read. I could also walk up and down a beach ALL DAY. Particularly a beach where there’s not a lot of people. I don’t like a lot of people at the beach. 
two things come to mind…
play with my daughter at home!!!
hang out with my Taylor and Korg and just run through whatever songs come to mind…taking a sip of Starbucks between tunes when needed!
basketball… love that sport
read… don’t so much love the studying part of it, but I enjoy reading for pleasure and knowledge
I can spend hours on the beach…I don’t need the tan though!
Reading, internet…listening to music.
BTW, was that Drew’s cousin who won America’s Top Model…I don’t watch the show but she was on Regis and Kelly this a.m.
sleep.
read.
do “nothing” with a close friend.
blog.

Besides reading blogs?! I can spend hours listening to music, perusing through a book store, reading. I love the beach but after a couple hours I’m over it and ready to do something else. My wife, however, could easily spend the whole day there.
Read, listen to music, explore art and history museums, the beach, watch movies.
So UMMMM, Drew’s cousin WON America’s Next Top Model huh???????????????
did someone say sabotage Mandy’s blog from 12 am to 3??? What???
other than that…
I heart road trips with my main slice of cheese!
Mandy – “kissing” that’s it
hmmm…
Cathi – are you gonna sabotage again tonight?
I might have to stay for this one!
well…depends…I’m teaching tonight and won’t be home until 11 – let’s say yes unless my students lock me in the storage room. I’ll keep you posted.
okie dokie!
and for the rest of you. Whatever Wednesday is still going.
Look. Mandy isn’t even here. What can she do? Really.
so go on over an play WW
Hanging out with my wife and playing Madden or NCAA Football on XBox360
Mandy, I just got back from my daily trip to the beach where I also read, have picnicked and played bocci ball. I have friends there and we laugh, talk and listen to each other. There is a bible study group that meets there but I don’t attend it. As far as the kissing part, I don’t “make out” in public anymore. That takes place behind closed doors now.
In my younger days in New York City I did pretty much anything, anywhere. 
Shopping!!!!
And I LOVE that Whitney won Americas next top model!! YAY!!
Sleep!!!! I have to get up at the crack of dawn for work every day, so when I get the chance (if the kids aren’t home yet, of course), I sleep!
Praise dance. Pray. Read. Sleep. Eat. Not neccessarily in that order. Oh I forgot. Computer. Yeah that’s a big one. I think I need to type it twice. Computer. There.
I’m so jealous! I want to be on the beach for hours and hours…

Pingback: we missed you mandy « a life of perpetual transition
I think the girls got it bad!
Real Bad!
Blogaholism that is.
<B
I’ve heard blogaholism is on the increase in some parts.
<B
it’s sad
<B
when some people can’t control their habits.
<B
and something just completely takes over their lives.
<B
and they even end up blogging all on their own.
<B
Such people need a good HOLIDAY!!!
<B
Like in, sayyyy… oh i don’t know… Florida maybe??
<B
Of course… the truly saddest bloggers of all….
<B
… are the ones who are so desperate they talk to themselves for half an hour…
…Just to get someone elses’s Blog Stats up to some ‘magic’ milestone like 200 comments or something!
How sad is that?????
<B
This comment is contribution to Mandy. Then again, so are the rest of the comments I’ve left on here. But I’m not a blogaholic. I can stop any time. And to prove it, I am only going to leave one comment. This one. Because even though I don’t have a life, I do have to go back to work.
Welcome home, Mandy.
Thanks cathi for coming over to let me know … I was in bed! Sorry I missed out on all the fun. welcome home Mandy you were missed!
Sorry i missed the fun, I’ll make the next slumber party
Wow Cathi, what on earth do you run on?? Rechargeable batteries that never need to be plugged in apparently!
Welcome home Mandy!!! Please sprinkle some of that beach/sand/sunshine accross your blog so we can ALL enjoy some!! (still only 50 degrees here)
Glad you had all that free time, cause now you are going to have to sit here for hours reading all that everyone did LOL!
*YAWN*
Wow, it’s a mess in here! Ya’ll( out of respect on Miss Mandy’s blog HA!) were up late partying apparently.

Sawreeee I missed the party. I was being disciplined.
I hate boundaries. HAHA!!
