What are some of your hobbies? Tell us what you do in your free time!

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

Cleaning is a hobby? That's my least favorite thing to do.... ;)

[Faith]

Knitting, crocheting, sewing, reading, writing, playing games.

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

I'm a ridiculously big NFL fan. I'll watch the New England Patriots play any day. (I actually got to see them play not too long ago. VERY cool! I was only ten yards from Tom Brady.)

[Autumn]

swimming

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

Do you swim competitively, or just for fun?

[Autumn]

competitively

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

Awesome!!

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

Woo hoo Autumn! I'm also a swimmer! What are your favorite events?

[Autumn]

Any thing that doesn't include fly,and I like distance swimming.

Haha I actually love fly. Along with back, it's my best stroke. Distance isn't my best...though I have completed the 100 x 100s two years in a row.
What's your best event?

[Autumn]

100 and 50 br

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

I honestly have no idea what y'all are talking about!! ;) I know ballet, and that's it for sports!

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

You're still allowed to swim 50s? Lucky. I haven't been able to swim them for a few years. I'm not the best at breast, but I can make it! haha
Lena, oh don't feel bad. lol Sports are difficult to understand. Wait until you hear me talking about football!

[Autumn]

i'm still 12, but i won't be allowed to swim 50s after nov 4:(

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

@Brianna you might get some blank looks from me. Lol!! ;)

[Mojoboy31]

I read, watch tv/movies, play video games, write like a fiend, cook like a ninja, chase my nephews, and clean. A lot of cleaning.

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

Wow! Busy life, huh? ;)

[Mojoboy31]

Aye. Quite busy. lol

[Autumn]

Mojoboy31, are u English? or Australian?

[Mojoboy31]

I am American, actually.

[Autumn]

oh

[Mojoboy31]

The "aye" and "quite" threw you off, huh?

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

What region of the US are you from?

[Mojoboy31]

West coast. But my vocabulary is not regional. I picked up a few habits from reading books, and from friends.

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

I figured it was from books. That's where I get a lot of the things I say as well!!

[Morgan]

I like reading, writing, dancing, playing violin and piano, babysitting, teaching various things, sewing, and many other things I can't think of right now.

[Mojoboy31]

Babysitting. nice. I have three nephews, so I'm pretty familiar.

That's a lovely combination of things!! What kind(s) of dance do you do?

[Morgan]

I took ballet for six years, the last one on pointe, but I quit when I was twelve because it required way too much time. I still do ballet around the house, though. I mostly do Civil War era dances now, like the Virginia Reel and the Posties Jig. (Posties is awesome!) I did take a Scottish Country Dancing class with my family and some friends once, but I don't remember anything but the basic steps. And a few months ago, some young men from my church taught me a little swing dancing. I thought it would be awkward, but they're such gentlemen it wasn't at all. (Seriously, even elsewhere in the homeschool community, I've never met anyone as gentlemanly as the boys in that family.)

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

I can understand about the time commitment ballet takes!!! Especially when you're taking classes an hour away!
Those other kinds of dance sound so cool!!! :)

Never could dance to save my life. haha

Does anybody here like football?

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

And if so...what's your favorite team?

Treasure the time, girlie. 100s aren't too bad, but I miss the 50s. Thank God they still allow us to swim the 200 relays! I get to swim the 50 fly then.

[Mojoboy31]

You wouldn't like who my favorite football team is...

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

I don't know your address, so go ahead and tell me. LOL

[Mojoboy31]

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

well buddy, it could have been a lot worse. Broncos have never beaten the Pats in the Super Bowl. haha My editor is also a Bronco fan, so I'm good.
but how bout that game this weekend?

[Mojoboy31]

Considering that the Broncos and Pats are both AFC, them playing in the Super Bowl would be impossible ;P ... The Broncos have beaten the Pats in the playoffs though.

The game this weekend should be good. Though I'm not expecting Denver to play their best game. Whenever Manning plays the Patriots in the regular season, he doesn't seem to play his best, so that if and when they face in the playoffs, he has an advantage. Just my own theory.

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

Yeah, I know. J The Giants are the only team I absolutely despise. The other teams that beat the Patriots (aka the Jets) usually make laughing stocks of themselves. I actually like Manning.
it does seem that way, though he doesn't always play the best in the postseason either. :D

[Brianna, So get up. Get up and FIGHT BACK.]

and last year, when the Broncos beat them in the Championship game, there's no hard feelings. Though the Patriots were quite the kick-butt team, their injuries and players just wouldn't have been enough against the 49ers or the Seahawks.

As I draw nearer my retirement, I often think of the hobbies I might take up: leather craft, woodworking, and sculpture all hold my interest. Or, I might return to painting, I was fair with acrylic and watercolor. Presently, my hobby is music composition. If anyone is willing to critique my work, go here http://www.reverbnation.com/danielher... and let me know what you think.

[Lena, Shot through the heart, and you're to blame]

Really cool music!!! I like it a lot!!

A pat on the back is never amiss. Thanks.
