My kiddos own them too. They last forever and hold up great! I would never waste my money on anything else. I still have mine from college. It was bought in 1992 or 1993 and we used it as our main backpack in China in 2006. I AM NOT KIDDING!! Looks a couple of years old but not 13 or 14. They truly are that impressive. Okay, I'm done. Thanks for allowing me the time. Googling teachers....hadn't thought of it....thanks. Traci Those are the best backpacks. My kiddos own them too. They last forever and hold up great!

I gathered up our oddball loner socks and used them as the craft project at my kiddos' birthday party - They made sweet no-sew tiny dolls. Take that, sock-eating house gnomes/alternate sock-filled dimensions! We have the same sock dilemma here.

My coworkers tease me about leaving my computer on-you know, when you teach energy efficiency professionally-so I will try the Edison program and share it around here. Since we're looking at a 35% utility rate increase, I'm expecting to be wearing a lot more layers in the house-I can't turn my thermostat any lower than where it's always been... Oh, and I just got a nice lot of shoes for S off ebay-never thought I would do that, but 6.50 for 4pairs barely worn school shoes.
