SuperheroDesign Response - click here

Well, I didn’t exactly take the same challenge as you but I have had some time off from school (which keeps from home till 9:30pm 4 nights a week) were I can come home make dinner and spend time with my husband. I am not a big TV or internet fan, so to take time off from that is not a big deal for me (other then getting caught up on the past episodes of Lost).
The time I am having off right now before I head back to school for my final quarter has given me the onsite of time to come and how I want to spend it. I realized that I have time to make jam and work on my pottery and take pictures documenting the time before the baby comes. The clarity of boredom is fresh in my mind and sitting on my porch going through old newspaper clippings my mom saves from 1982 is way better then any TV show or internet search, at least for me. I organized the shed and watched Manolo (my husband) paint the baby’s room a narly green that almost glows and goes with nothing in my house. I just love it! I worked on putting together a fish tank for the baby’s room and placed the rocks just so. I am hoping that the time before the baby comes and after I finish school will give me more of this boredom time.
However much like you I found that there was much more communication between friends and family in the house. The music also seemed to follow, filling the house and car with everything from Flogging Molly to The Weepies.
Ultimately just knowing that I am not going too be a couch potato in my life, makes for an exciting future. Maybe this weekend will yield some live music. I can only hope!

Schools OUT

It is official. School is out for two weeks then back for my final quarter. I never really thought that I would see the end of my college years. But here they come not in years but in mounts only to be followed by weeks then days.
I can not express to you the joy I feel for having done something I never set out to do but did all by myself.
Soon I would like to retire to my farm out in the sticks and keep to my self. No traffic, no helicopters, very little concrete. Looking for my slice of the American dirt pie with extra nature and topped with the songs of the crickets.
Oh how I do go on!
