My other hobby is (part 2)
I figured with all the new members we'd start up a new thread to continue Jen's thread.
What are your hobbies when not tending to your animals and everyday lives?
When not browsing the internet I could be found playing PC games, reading a book, baking and currently learning how to crochet (though the cats do make that difficult) I love to go camping, fishing and hiking but we don't get to do that too often. After Spaz is here I plan on taking advantage of the swimming pool and tennis courts in the apartment complex because I LOVE to swim and was a pretty good tennis player back in the day hehe. Hopefully I could learn to have a decent colored thumb to have our own makeshift garden/forest on our patio.

Update-I found my hobby, I'm officially addicted to dog shows.
Outdoor hobbies: Swimming, photography, hiking (before knees & feet problems - hope to be back doing this within the year), rafting, and baseball games.
I am a classicaly trained ballet dancer and also have taken classes in hip hop and jazz.
I love to go to the beach (in summer) and just hang out outdoors. I sew a little bit and also into scrapbooking although not as deep into it as I will be once we buy a house and I have my own craft room.
-> If any of you have ever worked in higher education or have any involvement with University English departments, "Straight Man" by Richard Russo is one HILARIOUS book!
Mike, you're so right. I had no idea there was such a big deal surrounding it. I have yet to meet a guy that enjoys it (or at least admits to enjoying it ;-)).
I usually take one night a month to work on my scrapbooks.
Kristin - I include lots of stuff in mine as well - tickets, programs, money (Chile, Canada, etc.), I think it adds to the memories and pictures. I've recently started buying postacrds when I go places to include in the book - the postcard usually has the best possible pic and then I add my photos as well.
I have pictures and memorabilia in mine, so they have anything from ticket stubs and newspaper clippings to photos and letters. I tend to over document...
Outisde stuff when I'm not watering my flytraps and american pitcherplants I like to walk feed my fish that's pretty much it I like to cook, but cleaning is no fun..

And lately I'm kind of addicted to this video game about poker...
It's called Governor Of Poker.
The University of Alberta has the world's foremost research group in poker playing programs. They have now had two man vs. machine poker championship matches. The first was Ali Eskime and Phil Lokke (sp?) vs their machine, and the humans barely pulled it out in the end. They both split $20k for their winning which totaled about 24 hours of play over the course of three days (not a bad pay rate eh?). During his "down time" between computer matches, Phil made more than 20 times that playing against real life suckers online in his hotel room. When it comes to poker, its best to look your opponent in the eye (or sunglasses ;-)).

Can't think of anything else. I was really big into music, played violin, piano, & guitar only I had to drop practicing as I had no time for it
I also love to cook and bake. I enjoy shopping and reading. I'm forever looking for a "real" job. Oh, and I'm going to turn a collar into a stunning holiday necklace for Tosca since she likes my jewelry so much.
If none of the above is occurring, I'm online and/or watching TV or a film or out with friends.
