wasting time?

i don't know what qualifies as wasting time anymore. i just came back from chatting on a porch with some good friends. the two girls, including me, were drinking water. the two guys were drinking beer. all of us were just chatting. so why did the guys classify their actions as "wasting an afternoon"? does the same go for leah and me?

earlier today, i woke up, worried a bit, got ready, went to the farmers' market and did some grocery shopping, put groceries away, helped out with earth day, heard a speaker, and then hung out with friends, oh yea, and there was probably some daydreaming in there.

which of the above constiute wasting time? why do we even have this phrase in our culture, what does it say about what we value?
