I also love to read when I have the time. I have a massive library and keep adding to it even though my schedule is so hectic lol. I love to write, embroider, and...(don't tell :o)...coloring (you know coloring books :p). Haha, at least now that I have a child people don't think twice when I say that I'm coloring!

I love to read, write, arts and crafts. I especially love to PAINT! Omg, I bought my 4 year old a little car bank that you can paint, well he painted it, but his wheels weren't completely done, so I had to paint the wheels. He just looked at it and didn't really say much, kind of gave me the look of Mom, you have problems.. lol.. I love to work out too. Especially if I'm running or biking.

Hi! I guess that swimming is my hobby cause it is the best way to relax after the hard working day! I do it two or three times a week! It helps me a lot to get rid of the stress.

Wow Kim - 2-3 books a week!! What kind of books do you read?
I used to do that but my eyesight doesn't allow it anymore, even with glasses :( . Now I can do 1 a week, if I'm lucky.

I used to read all the time, when I had time lol But whenever I get the chance I enjoy playing the piano, singing to the radio hehe, writing poetry. What I do the most now is workout. Not as much as I'd like, but enough to feel a little sore the next day.

Hi. I'm a newbie here. I am a photographer, but I guess it's a hobby too. :) Usually where I go, my camera goes. I also love to read when I have time. And....I make cloth dolls once in a while and reborn dolls (the ones that look like real babies).

Hello every one:)
I am a teacher by profession. I selected this profession because I had a hobby of reading books whether on subjects or on religion or story books and loved to share with others what I have read. I still love to study books and I use to. I will feel much pleasure if somebody share his/her knowledge with me on free readings.
Thanks

I love rock climbing. I have a hard time motivating myself to exercise on a consistent basis, or finishing a really long session at the gym or I will shave a few blocks off of my jogging route. With rock climbing there is no way to simply stop. You still have to climb back down, so you may as well go all the way up.

That sounds like fun. Is it a rock climbing gym or is it outside rockclimbing. This sounds like something I may wanna try oneday.

Reading Reading Reading is for meee...I wish there was a way we can get paid reading....(besides emails lol) b/c I'd be RICH! I mean I actually go thru reading 'withdrawals' when I don't read SOMETHING after a few days.
Nothing like a thick novel to snuggle on the couch with. My favorite authors Robert Kiyosaki, Eric Jerome Dickey, Danielle Steel, Zane, Agatha Christie, Dean Koontz, Nora Roberts, Mary Higgins Clark, and others I can't remember.
I read ANYTHING with substance except politics stuff.
After that shopping (of course) and traveling.

I like to go online to "second Life" a virtual world experience and meet other people. You can do anything almost in Real Life. Create your advatar,go shopping,teleport to different places,go to clubs,dancing,
building a business,be a landlord and rent out properties,make and sell things...the list goes on...
I also like spinning records now and then.
If you are doing it...let me know?
Maybe we can be friends or just hang out
in Second Life.
Thanks,

Music.
I do everything with music: dance, clean, bathe, work, drive, relax, sleep (sometimes)...my passion is to have my own studio one day and actually create music anywhere from R&B to alternative to possibly gospel. I listen to each instrument and how it's composed to make a song come together whenever I listen to it...just love it:cool:

Growing up I used to really be into art - drawing and painting. Now I have children who have that same interest so sometimes we'll enjoy a relaxing time painting or drawing together.

Painting and drawing is an excellent and great hobby.It is your good fortune and luck to have your kids like the same hobby.It keeps you relaxed and calm.It needs a lot of creativity and ideas in mind to put in on canvas.Colors have a close association with you.The world is also much colorful and beautiful.Seven colors of rainbows are the most beautiful in world.

Like many others, I also enjoy reading. I like "chick lit" type books, and magazines on parenting, organizing, etc. I guess it would be considered a hobby, but I LOVE to shop, especially when I come across great bargains. I very seldom buy anything at regular price!

I love to read every chance I get, however, lately I have found that I have little time. I at least try to read while I am on the tread mill each morning.
However, I also love long distance walking and running. I walk/run through out the week and I usually go for a 10 mile walk/run once a week.
That is my "me time" :)

I'm lucky, my job IS my hobby. Earlier this year when I didn't have any work for a little while, I made a MySQL database to keep track of my personal and professional contacts, then I was still board and made another online database to share recipes with my friends and family.
Offline, though, I decorate cakes (some pics here (http://picasaweb.google.com/liz.rickaby/LizSCakes?authkey=Gv1sRgCJyi-rjR_Jyc_gE&feat=directlink)), sew and I'm knitting my first sweater!

my hobby and my passion are my cats :) I have two pet cats, and a 9month old blue point Ragdoll kitten for whom I am registered to breed - we will hopefully have kittens by Christmas 2010.
I also show her, and she has done very well in the kitten ring and moves into the big cat ring at next month's show. I am now looking for a potential suitor for her, so when she is around 12 months I will have a stud lined up.
My aim is to produce show quality kittens, so we are looking for a real hunk :)
I am known at work as the Crazy Cat Lady.
ps my avatar is my Ragdoll when she was 9 weeks old.

My favorite hobby is dancing along with spending time with my children. Being a "Soccer Mom" for years I haven't really had much time to myself. Well last year I finally did (while pregnant) and started taking some Stepping classes.
Now, to supplement my Stepping classes whenever I can't attend, I've joined a Zumba class. What an excellent class, exercising and dancing! ;)
