Let me start by saying that I love learning. There are few things more exciting to me than learning something new or mastering a craft. Therefore, my favorite website is www.about.com. It is supremely user-friendly, and it has a wealth of well-written articles on how to do almost anything under the sun. About.com rescued me last year in August, when my doctor put me out on maternity leave. I worked for as long as they would let me, and I still ended up having a week and a half before my due date to sit around doing nothing. Everyone told me to use the time to relax and enjoy my pregnancy, but that sounded a lot like wasting time to me, and I wanted no parts of it. Unfortunately for me, though, my huge belly wouldn’t let me do much else. I did my share of waddling around town, but since my husband didn’t want me out waddling without him, I spent most of his work days sitting in the house. The tedium of those days would’ve killed me were it not for about.com. Instead of wasting all my time refolding tiny baby clothes, I learned how to design my own filet crochet patterns, how to make my own baby food, and how to use breast milk medicinally, among other things. Now I have an 11 month old baby and very little time for about.com. I look back fondly on our days before I gave birth though.
