Hours and Hours of Freedom

Since I haven't been working I have a had a LOT of time on my hands. I know what you're thinking. What in the world have you been doing? I think I have kept fairly busy. Yes I have had a few days where I sat around and moped but that is to be expected, right? Here are some of the things I have been doing the past couple weeks-

• frequenting our fave coffee shop Northwest
• also frequenting Goodwill and the other thrifts (they are right next to Northwest so of course I've got to stop and see what's new)
• quilling homemade cards until my brain feels quilled (see bottom for evidence)
• almost caught up on season 2 of Lost
• went on a wholewheat flour kick- substituting wheat flour for part of that bleached, enriched, white flour crap in many recipes- pancakes, waffles, pizza dough, cookies... recipes to come soon
• made my own granola! (it's delicious) ... also a soon to come recipe
• finally finished reading Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
• rearranged our living room
• helped a family from church who moved, unpack boxes and organize/clean their house
• listed an item on e-bay (auction ends tomorrow *crossing fingers for big money*)
• trying to pray and read the Bible on a regular basis (I hear it's a good habit to get into)
• painted my nails and toenails (after removing the orange polish from the pedicure David gave me.)

See? I have gotten out of the house a little and done things besides watch soap operas and eat pretzels. Oh yeah, and there is this thing called school that I go to, so I have been going to classes and doing a little home-work.

Here are my beautiful cards. No I do not make anything but flowers. Unless you are Jonathan who got a chameleon once or my brother who got a scorpion. Do you like any you see? If so you can buy them for three-fifty a piece. Just kidding. If you like any tell me when your birthday is and which one fancy.

On another note... I took the first quiz for Jonathan's class. I got a 21.5/25 which is a B. Not bad I suppose for not attending the lectures and skimming through the reading. Although, you'd think the instructor's own wife could get an A.
