    I am a stay at home mom, with a hubby that works 10+ hour days, and we have one car....so you can imagine I do not get out much! But I have a lot of pets! Too many actually! I have a pug name Zeus, a Chihuahua named Chester, a Himalayan cat named Phoenix, a domestic house cat named Neko, a guinea pig named Jacky, and a 75 gallon aquarium with 3 very large Oscars. So, they are my hobbies! Especially the fish tank, I really enjoy it. Geez, I sound like a crazy animal lady don't I? :blushing: :happy:

    This is always a hard question for me to answer... I really have no hobbies besides sleeping, if that counts...occasionally reading, going to concerts, aaaaaaand that's about it.

    I love cooking and baking, watching movies and documentaries, skiing, camping, and brewing beer (though I haven't started a batch in a while because I've been so busy lately).

    And whether you want to call them hobbies or unpaid part-time jobs, I volunteer a lot (mostly at our parish where we're the token Young Couple) and my hubby and I are the resident caretakers of a 330-year-old house in our hometown. It's fun living in a local landmark!

    Photography - I'm trying to make a career out of it!
    Video games - I have an xbox 360, and I love playing any Call of Duty games
    Wii Fit - I know it's technically a fitness hobby, but I just can't consider it working out, cause it's too fun :)
    Baking - Love it! But I've cut back since I started my diet
    Television - I have a few shows that I watch regularly, I try not to watch TOO much TV.. I love Dexter, Castle, How I Met Your Mother, and basically everything on Food Network!

    I love to read. Who didn't think of Kindle a couple of decades ago? I watch a few Food Network shows like DDD and Giada and Ina Garten. I love spending time in our pontoon boat with family, fishing on the lakes of Northeastern MN from May-August. I spend a lot of time with my husband and daughters too. We are about to begin finishing the lower level of our daughters new bi-level in the next few weeks. That will take most of my free time until fishing season. Oh..and my flower beds.
    If I had more money I'd travel more. I want to see: New Orleans, the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast and Ireland, Italy and Greece. Someday.
    I used to bake a lot and thirty years ago worked as a cake decorator. I rarely bake anymore because obesity is a side effect I am trying to eliminate.

    I love anime (currently trying to watch Black Butler), video games (currently playing Xenosage Chronicles, Skyrim and Skyward Sword), reading and my favourite pastime is patchwork quilting :) I also love baking but I've cut down on that - a LOT since starting my diet :(
    I am also a Mum to two gorgeous children who keep me too busy for all the above fun most of the time :P

    If you like Black Butler you may like Hellsing, it's not as Victorian romantic but very similar dark power play vibe :D

    Archery, baking, riding & training horses & ponies, riding on BF's Harley, etc.

    I do like to bake. My current thing is working on getting some unique flavors of cup cakes. I eat gluten free so I can't taste them ever. My co-workers happen to love the fact that I bake. This weekend I plan on making red velvet cupcakes and strawberry cupcakes. I will freeze them for the kids to decorate for Valentines Day.

    PHOTOGRAPHY

    I consider myself an extreme hobbist. I have been taking class at a local community college to learn and explore it.
    I love the contempory and abstract but I also have a love of landscapes.

    Cooking
    Reading
    Travel (when I get to)
    Currently researching Tiny Houses (we're selling our big house to build one of these... it's on wheels so it's mobile but built like a real house, not an RV)
    And I'm a writer... not sure if that goes in the "hobby" category, but I'd hate to not mention it.

    World of Warcraft! Well, video games in general. Sadly, I don't think I have any other hobbies (besides browsing the internet.. but can you call that a hobby? I call it boredom).
