Answer: lounge in her PJ's and watch movies!
While I hate when The Hubs is away, it's prime time for watching things he does not like. Honey Boo Boo? Check. Downton Abbey? Check. Documentaries? Check.Old movies? Oh yeah!
Sometimes I plan ahead and record movies and TV shows throughout the week, but more often than not I will rent something off Amazon. This should be a good time to warn you: I have a full on love affair with Amazon Prime. Although a $79/year membership doesn't seem like something a miserly gal would like, it has paid for itself ten-fold! I use Amazon frequently, so the free 2-day shipping, free e-book each month, and free movies and TV shows make it worth it. (I promise I'm not an Amazon spokesperson!)

Downton Abbey, Season 3
Under the Dome - my dad's recommendation!
And finally, Amelie. It's been on my watchlist for a while, but always cost money to rent in the past, but I just realized it's free to stream online from Amazon.com. Winner! I have wanted to see this since it came out in 2001...it was the "cool" movie to have watched when I was in high school, but I never did. 12 years later...here we are!
What's a movie night without snacks, though? I picked up a $0.99 hazelnut chocolate bar from Aldi to go along with my Stupid Easy Popcorn and herbal tea. Maybe I'll even crack open a bottle of Winking Owl (awesome $2.49 Aldi wine). What a night!
Any movie suggestions for next weekend?
