Stuff that doesn't involve books
I hardly watch any tv and the kids have restricted viewing. I LOVE baking but unfortunately I love eating more. Have put on so much weight since I got serious about my writing. Lots of sitting whereas the 5 years previous I spent every spare minute training for my black belt. *sigh* Oh well, you can't have your cake and eat every one elses too ;)

I have to test too! ;D Test the mixture. Test the product hot. Test it when it's cooled...

I download stuff to watch, but then try to fit it inbetween books."That's exactly what I do--mainly watch it on the weekend and not even then consistently--it's in our basement. Too busy writing and reading!
Crafts! :D I can crochet a mean table cloth (or doily). It's the only thing I really enjoyed learning in my grade school and high school Home Ec classes. Otherwise, I seriously suck at sewing, cooking, and baking.

Arghhh Crocheting makes me crazy--but I think it's beautiful--same thing with knitting--I don't know how you people do it!!
LOL, yeah, I love crocheting and can never wrap my head around knitting (I tried to teach myself to knit - now I use my old knitting needles for kitty play time).
That said, I don't like crocheting clothes. If you pick up a random crochet book that focuses on sweaters and stuff? Every pattern in it is plain ugly as sin. I promise you. I think crocheting is way better used in making curtains, table cloths, and doilies.
Naturally, all of the knitting patterns are awesome. But not crochet.

@Hayden, can't knit either. I know the basics but one need so many materials just for one stupid little hat, not to mention a whole sweater. 1 pair of circular needles size x, 1 pair of circular needles size y, one pair of straight needles size z, tapestry needle, stitch marker, bla bla bla. In the end I gave up on it. crocheting is way easier. all you need is a hook. I love crocheting clothes too. It really depends on who writes the pattern. I jut made myself a beret, a bag and a pair of fingerless gloves. They're so nice and cozy!@Sammy, I actually learned to crochet from you tube. There's a really nice channel with hundreds of videos and you can actually crochet along with the uploader. I guarantee you'll be an expert in less then a week.
I was stumbling this morning because I couldn't sleep and I came across this amazingly sassy, so-there webpage. I plan to memorize it, just in case. Would anyone care to join me?http://www.humanistsofutah.org/2002/W...
I very rarely have down time. When I'm not reading or writing or with the family, I'm usually outside. I love hiking, camping, and relaxing. I'm also known for planning get togethers. To me, life isn't lived until it's shared. I plan game nights, dinner parties, and anything to get my friends together. I miss my friends, we are so spread out it's good for the soul to laugh at the past and make memories. Plus our kids get to play with one another! I'm a nerd, yes.

Kit, that is absolutely wonderful! I need to link to it/repost it and yes, memorize and maybe get it printed on a business card to hand out to people who come out with that kind of crap. Thank you!
Are you a member of the GSA group? Because they would love it over there too.

I think I've seen that before and it makes me chuckle. If anyone ever tried using Leviticus to condem homosexuality, I'd remind them according to the rest of that book, we're all screwed. Then I'd stick my tongue out at them cuz I'm an adult like that.

So my sister and I were looking up our names on Urban Dictionary today. Some of the definitions are really funny! Our favorite was for our brother Eric:A term used to describe a mentally retarded cat that has the ability to fly by moving its tail in a circular motion. Once in the air, erics are known to land ontop of statues to catch and eat birds. Once they get the taste of blood, they turn into a form of vampire and attack fat people.
Cool, huh? Mine says Kit:
Kit is a slang word used to describe a young woman usually in her 20’s or 30’s who is attracted to older men. As the older man-younger woman relationship becomes more accepted, this term has grown. The origin of “kit” is unknown. It was either coined to compliment the silver fox (as kit is the word for a baby fox) or is a shortened version of kitten. Both origins indicate the woman’s young age compared to her older partner.
A kit is often a genuine, very good looking young woman who is sought after by men of all ages, but she will turn down advances from men her own age. She is not after money or sex, though those are added bonuses. Instead, she feels more comfortable in a relationship where the man has the upper hand.
A kit should not be confused with a gold digger, which is also becoming increasingly prevalent; though many gold diggers will disguises themselves as kits in order to hide their ill intent towards older, wealthy men.
Guy 1: "Check out that hottie on the dance floor. I'm moving in"
Guy 2: "Don't waste your time on that kit. She's been hanging out at those old guys table all night"
It doesn't describe me at all, but I love it! You should all go look up your names!

Patricia wrote: "I agree w/ those definitions. lol ;)":)
OK, so I had to get in on this. Here's Patriciaa beautiful, tall, smart, brunnete that likes to party.
Usually friends with a blonde.
The girl at the party was being a patricia!
Hmmm, actually, I hate parties and the people that come w/ them. I prefer small get togethers w/ close friends. My one best friend is a blond though.
Adjective. Synonym for attractive, sexy. Extremely pleasing to the eye. Common expression in the southern Oregon/northern California region of the United States. Sometimes heard as far south as San Diego.
Wow. In that miniskirt you are soooo patricia!
Hubby would probably agree w/ this one.
OK, this last one.... OMG. If you know me, then you know I have the maternal instincts of a rock. Favorite time w/ kids: Giving them back.
the best mother in the world. the best NINA in the world. best all around, actually!
1. Patricia is the bomb like tick-tick.
2. She's so pretty today. That's so like Patricia!
3. My mom is awesome, just like Patricia.
My definition is also a drink...amazingly pretty creature usually supporting died hair, more often than not 2 colours or more. probably the girl with the best sense of humor in the world. extremely sexual and great in bed. (omg, it's like they know me haha )
This one is my fave: a strong mexican cocktail consisting of gin,rum & pineapple juice
I absolutely agree that it's never a waste to read - sometimes there's something else I really should be doing, but I fell less bad about being stuck in a book than any other recreational procrastinating.
