I have to say I have been more productive in the evenings. I have cleaned closets, done mending that has been sitting around way too long, and actually folded my laundry on the same day I washed it.
A few other highlights:
1. Went snow shoeing. SO MUCH FUN! A few weeks ago when I was in Utah, Lisa took me on a 2 hour adventure. She lent me some warm clothing, borrowed me some gear, and we went for a snow hike. This is something I could really embrace if I lived in the snow.
2. I re-made a dress. I wanted to see if I could pull off a re-do AND be brave enough to wear it in public. This is a dress I bought at a thrift store when I was in Ohio last month. It was a frumpy dress but had potential. This is what it looked like before:
I turned it inside out and took it in to fit me. Then I cut about 8 inches off the bottom and sewed some black lace at the hem. With the 8 inches I cut off, I created a ruffle and sewed it down the front. It needed some more bling so I added some buttons I had on hand. The belt was also a thrift store find. Total cost? $10.00! What do you think?
3. And finally, I have met with several students at the college...disciplined them and even kicked a few out for the semester. I've had to deal with some real knuckle heads! How do people get themselves into such predicaments?Anyway, I'm glad to be back!!!

I can sympathize with your computer woes. It stinks being offline but more things definietly get done around the house! I always wondered how our mom's were so good at keeping the house clean while having kids..then I realized, they didn't have the internet! It takes at least an hour or 2 out of my day!! CUTE DRESS! You are so talented!
