Hobbies? Anyone have any? Anyone know what they are? Come on, folks! This is your chance. Is anyone brave enough to tell us what you do in your spare time?

I have an airplane so I obviously love to fly, I love shooting sports, and I love birds.
I just started getting into photography now that DSLR cameras are affordable.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

My hobbies are: 1. reading: politics, history, Bible, and non-fiction 2. exercise: weight lifting and cardio in my home gym 3. home decoration I had an interesting realization recently about cooking. A girlfriend of mine was speaking fondly of the time she spent with her mother as a little girl in the kitchen learning how to cook.  I listened in HORROR as she recounted this memory. It occured to me that most women do remember cooking with their mothers fondly! When I was a little girl and my mother dragged me into the kitchen and FORCED me, against my will, to cut chickens, bake cakes and other such nonsense, I considered it punishment. I was not grateful at all! I HATE to cook, even to this day!

What is this beastie called "spare time" and how do I capture it? That's my hobby, too. I try to squeeze in a bit of reading, and another big hobby is getting ready to move in my spare time. {{{{{{{{{{Mel}}}}}}}}}}}} I always loved cooking, mostly with my grandma. I can understand why you feel differently.

Is anyone brave enough to tell us what you do in your spare time? In no paticular order: I took a ghost hunting class this past October! Astrology. Malaysian cooking. PBR Rodeo (watching). Flower and vegatable growing. Animal and the elderly advocate. Caregiver Artwork Home improvement. Grandchildren Camping Learning about the Tao. Is being a Larry The Cable Guy fan a hobby?

[b]Hobbies? .... spare time??[/b] I used to have tons of spare time IB hobbies I did when H and I were detached but now we're spending most of our spare time together: * watching TV sports (or watching him play baseball) * playing board/card games (anyone ever play "Upwords"?) * reading and studying MB books/CDs * going out to dinner and concerts/shows ~ sometimes movies * spending time with family (even learning Rock Band and other Wii games) * reading the Bible (he's read through the Bible once and now we're doing it together) * fishing in the dinghy Two hobbies I do alone are: * reading/posting on MB and emailing MB friends * creating amateur movies/DVDs (H helped edit my last baseball highlight DVD) H just started calling guy-friends again and I encourage him to do things with them.....he went to see Valkyrie with a friend because I can't handle intense movies and see no reason to pay just to hold my hands over my eyes/ears. (We both enjoyed Fireproof, Bucket List, and ~ because I'm tryin' to like adventurous movies ~ Indiana Jones...but we don't see movies very often.)

When I was a little girl and my mother dragged me into the kitchen and FORCED me, against my will, to cut chickens, bake cakes and other such nonsense, I considered it punishment. I was not grateful at all! I HATE to cook, even to this day! Oh Mel! I'll cook fer ya. I love to cook. I just bought L (age 6) her first cookbook (the American Girl cookbook - highly recommend it). I can't beat the kids out of the kitchen with a stick, they love it so much.

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.
