BORED OUT OF MY MIND!!!!
Okay everyone... I know that you are all much smarter than I am, and are much better at finding things to do, but PLEASE HELP ME!! I am SO bored out of my mind that I am going crazy! It is 9:00 p.m., Lincoln is asleep, and Cole doesn't get home from school for another hour! Keep in mind this happens twice a week! PLEASE give me some ideas- and none of this artsy fartsy stuff that all of you good moms/women do! Give me something meaningless that I don't have to think about! Okay, actually, give me anything you got! Maybe the artsy fartsy stuff will be good for me! I DO need to be a better mother who knows...you know! Anyways, hope you all are having a non-boring night.

You should definitely rent all the seasons of NBC's the Office. Do you already watch it?
Another suggestion. Get one of those foot massaging bath things and sit on your couch while your feet get rubbed...mmmmm....and sip some hot cider too. But no zucchini brownies! At least not the way I made them! :)
Have you read the VAMPIRE books yet? I don't know if you're a reader, but even if you're not...man, those hook ya.
Reading is always fun for me. When I have nights like that I also like to play a mindless computer game like tetris while I watch TV or listen to a book on tape. You could take online personality tests, look up recipes you want to cook sometime, talk to friends on the telephone, organize something that needs to be organized (I like going through old boxes of pictures or memorabilia), etc. I also like making slide shows and videos on the computer.
I'm totally hooked to the Twilight book series! But beware. . . once you pick them up, you can't put them down!
Once my little man is down and Randy's working late I try and get my scrapbooks caught up (unfortunatly I'm still way behind).
You could call and talk to Michelle. Chances are I'm in class too if it's Tues or Thurs and she's pretty bored.
If either of you get bored while talking to each other you can always start reading a book too. Just make sure you say "uh-huh" a few more times during the conversation.
I have the same problem..my sister always makes fun of me and can't understand how I could be bored. Well..you can only organize and clean so much. For me, after my little one is in bed and my husband is STILL studying, I am (surprise) blogging or doing digital scrapbooking (SOO easy and fun). I also read a ton, eat a ton, ride my bike, and find something to organize. Good luck...I feel your pain! :)

Here's something else you could do for fun (in May) - Ricky and I are moving to Colorado for an internship from May-July. If you're still around we could hang out all the time!
You are such a nerd. TV is the answer my friend
I agree: You should watch The Office. You should also watch Arrested Development. I'm into sewing this days. Is that too artsy fartsy?

Mindy, I love you! I think you should take up underwater basket weaving. I LOVE it... I know you have that scary hot tub, just fill er up and go after it! I also have that problem... I call it study widow. Perhaps some prenatal yoga would do you some good, I always love a little yoga before bedtime, AND Matt isn't around to bug me or make fun of me, but it feels so good! All of those achy muscles seem to disappear. (And then eat some brownies or cookies or something).
