STORM2K

When you are not working or on the internet, Storm2k, etc; what hobbies or sports or other thing occupies your time. This should be something pleasant that you do that you enjoy.
So you enjoy reading, listening to good music, golf, baking, crafts? We have little time for extras, but we can slip one enjoyment into our lives besides work and the computer.

Me... I enjoy doing new decorating ideas in my house. Even if one project takes me a week or months, it is fun doing. Then I go onto another.

Being outside. Gardening, biking, camping, swimming, fishing. I love to get out in the garden it is so peaceful.

Working on three houses. I used to enjoy spending time with my horses.

Being outside.

In the summer, if I'm not storm watching, I'm out cross country biking. I can do 50 kms in one day now. I also do a lot of camping, and my family goes on road trips pretty much monthly. I also collect and restore outdoor warning sirens as a hobby, and I am busy installing a fire alarm system in my upstairs. I also draw maps for fun, and write short stories.

If I'm not doing any of those, I'm out with friends (trying to soak up as much freedom as I can until school is done with)(eww adulthood!)

Tour de France in your future conestogo?

Lol, I'm not in any competative biking teams or nothing. Probably not, but it'd be fun if it was Tour de Nebraska. Oh wait, there is. B.R.A.N. (Bike Ride Across Nebraska). I'm "training" to do it when I'm 20. Only 2.5 years.

Theres a life outside of storm2k and the internet?

Seriously in the summer I like being outside of it isnt too hot. I live next to a racetrack so occasionaly I walk on over and watch a race. During the cooler months im inside a lot more and tend to spend more time watching TV or reading a good book. And of course I love a good meal any time of year!

I love gardening in warm weather - in cold weather, I tend to rearrange rooms and redecorate - lol, must be some kind of winter seasonal disorder!

I do a lot of walking. I do that every day as long as I can get out. I could not leave my house most of last week due to the snow.

I use my treadmill for an hour every morning - and yes, I really do enjoy it! I love to bake, that is my biggest thing. I like to read when I can, work on my cross stitch. Getting ready to start my "sugar eggs" for Easter, I really enjoy making those

I like to work in my daylilies bedsto keep the weeds out.

Biking for me too, but I don't do those kilometer things. It's miles for me.

Being in the outdoors, also swimming, bowling, watching TV, etc.

I like to go to the Y and work on the weight machines, treadmills, recumbent bikes, steppers, and recumbent crosstrainers. I also love to read, especially outside next to our pool.

Going to my friends house and shooting our air rifles and fishing for catfish.

Not doing much but being lazy

I forgot: Reading too. I've been riding the bus to work which gives me 45 minutes each way. I'm plowing through The Growth of Western Civilization, which, even at 900 pages is impossibly broad and lacking in details, but still fascinating. I see a lot of parallels between the enlightened despots and my boss. I think that I'm living in the wrong age. I think that living in the late 18th century would have been amazing.

Well when I'm not working, I like to travel. I often take a weekend and fly to the west coast to visit a city (and a friend or two) and rack up frequent flyer miles for one night.

I do read a lot as well.

Me, too -- that's why I think I won't be returning to my long-time teaching position in Ft. Lauderdale! [See my 3/26 posting in "Sittin' round the Pot Belly Stove"....]


P.S.I've always been fascinated by life in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I often wish could "materialize" (as in my fave novel Time and Again) into that era.
