What Else Do We Do?
I know we all read. But what else do we do?
I’ll go first:
Exercise? Forced torture but I try to do treadmill 3 x a week. Which I can manage usually 2x b/c I read while I’m doing it.
Television? Yes. If I’m home the TV is on … ABC from first thing in the morning – Good Morning America, LIVE with Kelly and Michael, Rachel Ray (under duress b/c it’s already on channel 7 and I really don’t enjoy cooking shows but she’s OK), The View, the News … 12:30 pm makes me nuts – nothing really to watch until 1 PM which is my ONLY switch – NBC – Days of our Lives (and that is only because I lost my all day ABC shows) … and then Katie Couric (but don’t love her show so that’s the time of day i start to move around) — when I don’t have my weekday shows, I look for Law and Order or SVU … yes, I’m also TV Addicted. I like the noise in the background.
Kids – I love to hang with my girls. Right now I’m in my daughter’s room and we’re watching Modern Family reruns.
Shopping – I like it. But I only go when I need things.
Friends – an occasional lunch with a friend, dinner on Sat nights with another couple …
Write – which is also a combo of writing, social media, PR etc. Really NOT a chore. And of course working on my books.
So what do you do to fill out your life besides READ? Feel free to use what I have and/or add to the list.

I am not an exercise person too much because I do so much cleaning and picking up after the family everyday. I am a TV person big time, tv like you starts at 4:45 am on ABC until about 9:00 and at 11:00 watch Y&R. I multi-task a lot. I cook a lot, I read, I do transcribing from home, spend most of my time with my daughters, love reading and sharing books now with my older daughter. We don't read to much of the same books, but she introduced me a vampire series which I fell in love with. I try to read mostly romance, suspense, and mystery. We just went to the convention in New Orleans for the first time and we all three loved it. Met some really fantastic authors. Wish you would have been there to meet you also. I love reading your books. I have your last copy as my next read. Love the Serendipity series!! Thanks Carly for all your great books and hard work. It is very much appreciated and we love reading your great books.
I am a working mom 5 days a week. I try to walk around @ work and my neighborhood b/c I enjoy walking. I spend time with my husband and children. I watch TV; however, I enjoy reading more. My family & I hang out @ the library. Geeky huh! Nonetheless, we enjoy it. The majority of the books that I have read are available at the library, which I am grateful b/c I would be broke and would not have been introduced to your books. My family enjoy walking around Barnes & Noble and the Book Nook where we can get used books, DVDs, comic books, records, etc. I enjoy watching movies and shopping when stuff is needed. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy being @ home on the weekends and being with my family.
