Wow, you guys heard the call to upload pictures and heeded it. The
Southwest Flickr Pool is overflowing with the fabulous progress you all are making and it sounds like everyone is pulling together and gearing up for the
big Swap! If you haven't done it yet this week, attack one pile of your paperwork and spend some extra time in bed in the morning and the evening. And if you want an A+, plan your media fast!
Useful links, and more praise for all of you, after the jump...


So with all the extra time spent in bed did anyone discover some good books? We've been reading a couple that we like but none that we love (some of our recent favorites are Eat, Pray, Love and Heat). Or has anyone caught up on some magazine reading? Sometimes magazines give us too many ideas and we can't sleep after so we've taken them off the nightstand. Overall the extra time in bed feels indulgent and for the first time we're waking up not feeling tired. We actually feel ready to get up!

Le Swap:
Saturday November 22nd, 10am
That means that this is your last weekend before the swap to clean out your apartments! Go for gold and bring anything you're getting rid of from your outbox that you haven't sold or isn't actually trash and see what else everyone else has to offer. We'll be bringing succulent cuttings, coffee and donuts.

While I'm not doing an official media fast, I've been doing less in the evenings. Cooking/heating food, eating, walking, listening to music (see, not really fasting) and then reading in bed. Finished Julie & Julia and am now reading Tropic of Cancer.
Over thanksgiving I may try a media fast. : )
Busy Saturday ahead of me. Finishing the study today and hopefully working on cafe chairs tomorrow.
