yes you really should. particularly as you are the one who coined the reference "zzzzelda o'clock".

actually i also went back to school to learn web design / coding a few years ago. it was only for one year, but it was an intensive program (my diploma from that is the equivalent of a 2-year program). there was nothing "free" or "carefree" about it ; i worked all the time, including evenings and weekends and christmas and new years (saddest holidays of my life !) and since that year those holidays fell on the weekend we didn't have a single day off. i thought i would DIE. but i did get my diploma. but that experience (which i didn't jump into lightheartedly) only confirmed my feeling that ONCE IS ENOUGH for studying ! that said, i love to learn, informally.

Zelda, my friend, you and I are simpatico!! Because we live in the Shenandoah area of Virginia, my husband is forever begging me to go camping in the mountains. I've told him I will only camp if we stay in a cabin that has running water, electricity, heating and air-conditioning, bathrooms a fully equipped kitchen and for the ultimate in roughing it, a hot-tub. My idea of roughing it is staying at a 3 star hotel instead of a 4 star hotel.
tee hee ! i aspire to that idea of roughing it ! currently roughing it means i'm staying with friends who don't have a guest room / bed and i have to sleep on the living room floor. when i visited my cousins in canada last year i had my own room in one place and my own SUITE (bedroom AND my own bathroom !!) in the other, which was nicer (and bigger... *snif* !) than my appartement at home ! i thought i was in heaven !
