QOTW - what are your interests?

Hi girls!!

We want to know about your hobbies and interests. Maybe your idea will give us one to try!! Just on our sister board, Single Parents and Dating, I learned about a new activity called geocaching - it is where you use a GPS device to follow a hiking trail made by someone else.

Tell us all of them!! Maybe it is knitting, maybe it is going to church, reading, whatever!! We all want to hear what you like - calling all regulars, alumni, lurkers!! SHARE!!!!!!!!!

Okay - and here's mine in case you haven't always followed my posts:

Swimming, biking, running - triathlons!! I love them. This gets me in contact with swimmers, cyclists, runners and triathletes and keeps me in shape. I race locally as well as in other places. Just this year I have competed in St. Croix, Maryland and New Hampshire. Next year I plan to go to Disney World, New Hampshire and Australia.

I also love to go to movies, even by myself. I love to cook, decorate the house, watch MTV and reality shows and work on the computer. Sometimes I go to clubs or to a sports bar to watch a game. This weekend I am taking DS to a Dolphins football game - this is a first for us!! Oh, and did I mention shopping? ;-)

I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Ok, I'll bite...

Lately I have been doing pilates and trying to get up to jogging for a full length around this golf course we have here which takes 45 mins to walk. I'm trying to stay motivated, but I must admit that this last week has been a little behind- I need a good kick in my behind to get me moving!

My regurlar hobby of course is ivillage *giggle*.

I love going for walks along the beach here, it's just so beautiful and we take ds to hop logs on the beach front. He really likes that! I love gardening, and have the run of the house here since my landlord moved out, so it's my flowers, my yard and my garden! Of course, when I was watering yesterday I noticed a whole pile more weeds... I love reading mystery novels, love the shows CSI and Crossing Jordan.

Wow, suddenly feel like I'm writing out a personal ad LOL! "I enjoy long walks on the beach, reading and candle light dinner..." :)

There is no doubt that my favorite interest is live music. I love going to concerts! I usually go to a concert at least once a month. I love the music, the crowd, everyone dancing. It's a great rush! I like Rock, Country, Blues... lots of different kinds of music. I just saw Ketih Urban Saturday. He was fantastic! Next Saturday, I will be seeing Jonny Lang for the first time. Yay! Then John Mayer later in the month. This will be my 4th time seeing him. Ok, so I might be a little addicted...lol

Other things that I like to do are read, walk, bike with my son. I love to laugh so I enjoy going to comedy clubs when I have the chance. I like taking spontaneous road trips! Waterparks in the Summertime.

You're right. Does sound like a personal ad. LOL!

Mine are mostly exercising and reading, of course spending time at ivillage (too much probably) and I volunteer on a board of directors for a non-profit freestanding birth center, which takes up some of my time.

I go to school. I work 50+ hours a week and as long as it is going to take me to get through school I think it is a hobby. I also love shopping and work in a mall and find the best deals. My favorite thing to do in the world is read a book by the pool where my kids swim. I have also done homework there too. That is about all I do. Hard to find time to do much else with homework and all but there is offical homework time at my house and that is nice no one argues. Maybe I should get out more. Thanks for the ideas. I am a member of our local Y but don't get there much.

My hobbies are my exercise. I like to take walks and I play scrabble on line. I just got hooked on the new numbers game Sudoku. I also just started taking lessons to get a pilots license

Cool, pilots license! That must be exciting to learn. Me, I'm a chicken when it comes to BEING in a plane, get all tense and ill until I'm back on the ground and inside the terminal.

I like antique shopping, crocheting, home decorating (including making and decorating things to go with my decor), I do a little painting but I'm bi-polar and seem to only be able to paint during certain cycles, I like listening to the radio (there is a good station here that plays old radio dramas from the forties and music from the forties and fifties), and watching movies.

I'm trying to stick to working out, but this summer has been bad for that.
