Poll question: What would you do with an extra 8h a week?
Due to not commuting almost two hours daily?

That's almost 400 "bonus" hours a year!!!

1. Sleep.
I have insomnia. An extra 8 hours a week would be heavenly.

3. Sleep
I have a toddler in my house. I haven't really gotten a good amount asleep since before I was pregnant.

10. don't know if you have other kids
but they do sleep eventually,although it takes a while. Mine is 8 and can now occupy himself while we sleep in a little on Sunday. You will sleep again! The problem later is waking up early to get them for school even when you don't have to.

Oops forgot what the original ? was. I would start writing music again and try to achieve order in the basement. Plus kitchen painting...

5. if I could find someone to practice Spanish and learn French with that
would be cool; it's always so much easier to hear the words pronounced correctly (preferably by someone who speaks it as a first language)...
I do speak some Spanish and can understand quite a bit of written French but that's a far cry from speaking it *lol*

I love languages; it's rather like magic, I always thought, to be able to communicate with someone in another language.

7. I voted for exercise
I used to be in such good shape. But one good thing is that I'm young and haven't gained any weight but I think I would feel better if I exercised again. Use to have the best six pack now it's a little pudgy.
