The booze works better, but kickboxing helps too!

i really dont know? i say i'll do this or that like a movie or such but there isnt enough hours in the day.... i have my treadmill, or to get out of the house walk... or read a book or pretend too to be left alone or sleep!

i love to paint i find it very relaxing

you should here me go R.E.S.P.E.C.T lol i love kareoke v etertaining

I too sing in the car. I knit in the winter - mostly hats and scarfs. I make the fuzzy, tied blankets in the winter and fall. I also blast the music when I am cleaning or just hanging out at home alone. I work from home I get more than the average amount of alone time.

I absolutely love a good book. You know one of those Calgon readers that can take you away.

I love suduko and crossword puzzles.

I absolutely love a good game of scrabble with DH.

I love to take a walk in the fresh air.

I used to love to hit the gym. I am trying and needing so desperately to find this love again as I near 40 and am starting to get round and fluffy.

Also, I love to write even though my writings have been school related more than fun lately.

Step Mother's Motto this week is:

You don't have to LOVE me, you don't even have to LIKE me... But you will RESPECT me.

To some kid-related sporting event or concert/recital ... I enjoy golf, poker, target shooting, and scrap-booking. I also LOVE going to the spa (massage or facial) and I also love to go running. Great post!

it's so nice to read these responses!

I'm a fine artist and photographer on the side and show my work a couple of times a year. I love to read guilty pleasure books like Dean Koontz, John Grisham, James Patterson, etc. I watch tons of movies with my F, I also scrapbook, and have an unhealthy obsession with shopping...

from my SD, the reason we're going through it all....:
o, btw, my dad and *northernsiren* are the best family a girl(and boy) could ever hope for. Thank you for helpping me through these hard times.

I Blog, write here, work on my play, research about five other projects.

To totally escape for a few hours I love going to films, but don't have that chance very often.

RETREATS are fabulous too especially at a certain TN cabin! I am also looking into forming one like the writer's retreat I attend every year that focuses on SMs because we so desperately need one. Also, I am taking another session of 5 pottery classes to make a set of theatre masks. Next I want to sign up for belly dancing, guitar, and voice again. Can only do one at a time (I sound like the kids and sports teams) I am also looking for mom/son/daughter classes to do something fun with my sons and BD 2. Hers is going to be mommy and me dance.

I absolutely love theatre and really need to find some creative space, and time to get back into it. It's so hard with four kids, especially when SD is one of them and BM isn't taking her more than three or four days a month.

I love to read and ride my bike.

I am an adventure seeker and a random thinker so I need to see new places and experience new things to stay content. So even a bike ride exploring a trail I've never seen is an adventure to me.

I'm a 'Colorado Girl' so I love mountains and snow and all the fun things that go with living near the Rocky Mountains.

What about you semi?

If there be one, try to find it; If there be none, never mind it." ~ W.W. Bartley

I read. I read and read and read. I love to read. When I can't read, I scrapbook a little, watch movies and tv and play the occasional computer game.

I've recently taken up mountain biking. It's great until I fall, which is often. I'm quite the bruised woman, but I always end up laughing every time I fall so I figure it can't be that bad.

I love to quilt. It makes me feel all domestic and womanly in a 19th century kind of way. However my stupid sewing machine is broken and I can't afford to fix it right now, so I'm hand stitching, which is fun for a little while, and then I lose patience and have to move on to something else. Needless to say, it might be 2020 before I finish my current project.

I LOVE music, but can't play a single stinking instrument. I hypothesize that I might be a little tone deaf. My husband concurs when he hears me sing. But miraculously I am fantastic in the car, as long as I'm by myself!

I play on the computer...otherwise...hike, backpack, ice climb, ski...anything outdoors and the more remote the better :-). It brings me peace. I can relate to Colorado Girl loving the mountains and snow... I'm absolutely the same! Winter is my favorite time of year.

Hike, skydive, mountain climb and white water raft...not really but if I said I smoke, drink and gamble you'd think I was a dead beat...LMAO

Catch xx
*Mean People Suck*

and run around having wine tastings and making money! (is that wrong?!)

really though i love to relax at home and watch tv, go to movies, play on the computer, cook, pilates, walk my doggie, fantasy football, shopping, especially for lip gloss...

OH man...you should see the grin on my face!!! Yummy!!! You are a sweetheart! It's the one thing I miss living up here...fresh produce. I'm from the Southeast originally, and used to have a garden every year with fresh tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, etc..., and I had wild blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, pears...etc... Up here we get the blueberries and cranberries, but everything else is shipped from Seattle and south, so that by the time it gets here it's old and expensive! We do grow good, HUGE winter crops...but for the most part...9 months of the year..nothing. One of these days I'm going to have a greenhouse :-).

I sure miss the jam making!

OH and I can send you some Alaska stuff...Moose nuggets, bear spray, salmon jerky, eskimo ice cream :-)....jk...but there are some neat things up here...the best being the fresh salmon if you like fish.
