A great site for really pretty computer screen backgrounds:




click on "Gallery" and scroll through the pictures. Each has an option to download. Here's the one I did:


If I had more time...

I'd (in no particular order):



1. Blog more - this is not the first on my list of priorities, but I know many of you would like more frequent updates on the girls/us. I can't believe my last post was in June! Ugh.



2. Read more - my list of "books to read" is growing and sadly I haven't been able to check any off.



3. Clean & organize - how do 4 people make such a mess? I'll have the house clean and within 30 minutes it will look like tornado alley! And with the girls growing like weeds, I'm constantly circulating the clothes!



4. Cook more. I miss cooking fun, gourmet meals. I love trying new recipes and haven't had time to experiment.



5. Play outside more - The leaves are changing. The air is crisp. I need to get out on a hike in the aspens. I love this time of year when you look up through a canopy of yellow and see smidgeons of blue sky and the sparkling light.



6. Learn to sew.



7. Make more progress on my Master's degree (though that would defeat the whole "if-I-had-more-time" thing). I'm slowly plugging away. One class at a time.



8. Write more letters to friends & relatives I haven't caught up with.



9. Make more phonecalls - see #8.



10. Learn a new crafty hobby.



11. Learn how an engine works.



12. Do a 2-week long road trip throughout Colorado. I've lived here for close to 10 years and still have so much exploring to do!



13. Go on lots more vacations. I guess that takes more $ in addition to time, but as long as I'm dreaming I'll add it to the list!



14. Read to my kids more.



15. Spend more time with my kids - in general.



16. Spend more time with my husband - in general.



17. Pay more attention to making myself up in the morning.



18. Play more Sudoku and Mahjong.



19. Practice more yoga.



20. Take more photos and make photo albums.
