In No Particular Order:
- Jenni B: “My extra 81 minutes a week are spent talking about SpudMan with my 7 and 3 year olds! Mama can I put the bin out? No, not today. When? Tomorrow. It’s tomorrow Mama can I put the bin out? Yes. Will SpudMan bring pears? I think so. Will he bring gummies Mama gummies? Yes. Will he bring a funny pumpkin? Maybe. Will he bring some carrots with the trees on them? Probably. Yay! Is he here yet Mama? No not yet. Is the dog barking at SpudMan? No. Will he bring some disappearing icebergs? (dry ice bags) Not this week. DINGDONG Mama it’s SpudMan can I open the door? Yes. Oh, look it’s the new bin. THANK YOU SPUDMAN!!”
- Erin – “I am a single mom of two that is always juggling an unending number of extra-curricular activities, on top of my full-time job AND university. Life is hectic! I should say I’d spend an extra 81 minutes scrubbing my floors, catching up on the piling mountains of laundry, or some other household task. Reality is I would come close to killing for a nap or a pedicure right about now!”
- Jenny R – “With 81 extra minutes a week I would do what I always think I don’t have time for…reading those 3 books I bought on organic gardening, dust off the planters, seeds, tools and get outside and plant that veggie garden. I would really put into action all those articles, plans and ideas I’ve collected from books and pretty magazine pictures that make me feel greener for reading them but don’t really make me greener if I do not take action and make them happen in my daily life. Practical application a little every week makes progress towards my goal of living a healthy, responsible life and 81 minutes ought to be just about right to stop any nasty procrastination. Be Green, Don’t just THINK Green”
- Kelley – I would spend more time with my strange leash-trained cat: taking her to the park when the sun shines.

- Victoria – With my 81 minutes a week, I will take the time to go outside and look around at what nature as to offer and I will take the time to make somebody’s day better by helping out in which ever way I can.
- Joel – How many extra spuds could I eat in 81 min? Well, my girlfriend’s the math nerd, so it’d probably take me my whole extra 81 min earned just to figure it out. Instead, see picture for estimated self portrait after eating spuds for 81 min.

- Mary – What would I do with an extra 81 minutes a week? Why, play with my miniature la Mancha goats! Now that Seattle has made them legal, my cuties live on my lot, and they are so much fun to hang out with–they love the attention, love to snuggle, and help make me a calmer, more attentive person (good for my husband, my children, and my students!) They currently produce wonderful fertilizer, and will also produce milk after they have kids of their own.
- Jayme – With my 81 min, I do the most important thing in the world, play with my kids. Spud is a mom’s best friend!
- Marina – with my extra 81 minutes I will practice antique Russian/Gypsy music with my band, Vragi Naroda! And we need to practice, believe me. We also need to eat the fruit and the cookies you deliver right before Wednesdays band meeting.
- Jennifer – I hate, hate, hate! errands. I do as much as I can online and during my lunch break from work so that after work and on weekends I can play with my cats, watch movies, cook and even stare at the wall doing nothing. Those extra 81 minutes would probably be devoted to my quest to watching every single episode of The X-Files — I’m on season 5!
- Jeanine – With my 81 extra minutes each week, I am finishing my PhD dissertation. I only leave the house to take my daughter to and from school, work towards my black belt in TaeKwonDo with my daughter, lead Girl Scout meetings, or sell Girl Scout cookies! I never have to shop anymore, especially because spud! carries almost anything I need! They have added items to their website each time I have made special requests. Another benefit of having spud! is that my cats can play in the empty boxes that sit patiently by the door waiting to be exchanged for another reusable box full of wonderful food for a very tired dissertation-writer and her family. (Can you tell I’m going a little crazy?) Anyway, yay spud!
Thanks so much for all our entrants! We’ve loved reading every single thing you’ve sent us! Keep letting us know what you do with your extra time each week, we just are thrilled to hear it!
