Mikuto I love your icon!  I am obsessed with Nightmare before Xmas!!! hehe. 

Hobbies: Anything arts and craftsy... right now I am crocheting a scarf for me to wear at the ECU/U of Kenntucky Bowl Game in Memphis... GO PIRATES!!!  My days are filled with trips to the dog park with my kids.... and making sure they are as loved and spoiled as possible.  I would love to travel but money and time is tight... Darn School gets in the way!

I run a pug rescue group in addition to working full time. I sure love these dogs (all dogs), but the rescue group has become my main hobby as I have no time for anything else! Okay, I do love boating in the warm months as we bought a new boat this year.

I actually volunteer at a homeless cat shelter, I never thought of it as a hobby. I sure do love giving those needy kitties some attention though.

drawing, sketching, movies, travel, journaling, collecting fountain pens, cooking, listening to music, surfing online and most importantly: shopping for shoes!!

Wow! Shopping for shoes is my main hobby too. I also make bead jewelry, play World of Warcraft online, bake yummy desserts, and keep my dog entertained

- Dorothy Parker

I collect quotes. And books (first editions). And art. And jewelry. I was going to make a list of my hobbies, but they all come down to shopping, pretty much. I shop on amazon, I shop on ebay, I shop for art. Lately, I've been the gofer girl for a friend of mine on art research (as in researching subjects to paint, not researching art history.). And I occasionally plan Disney trips for my co-workers. Actually, a lot of people sneered at me for going to Disney World on vacation every year, then someone asked me to plan a trip for them, if I was so smart. So I did. That got out of hand quickly. My dad used to work for the same company, and he would get calls saying "Are you the one with the daughter who plans trips? Can she plan one for me? I have a 12 year old and an 8 year old. Thanks!" He said if I was going to do that on company time, the least I should do was charge for the service. You know, to pay my bail money, or tide me over until unemployment kicked in. lol. (We don't work for a travel agency).

But I'm here to promise you all, as my first and only resolution of the New Year, that my hobby will not be working with the children at church in 2009. I WILL learn to say No when those calls come in.

I'd like to be a personal shopper for someone as a hobby, if anybody needs one. I can assure you that I'm very very good at it.

Hey! I'd like to have shoe shopping as a hobby!

 

[KBoards Admin]

My other hobbies (aside from reading and, soon, Kindling):

- Playing with web programming and website management
- Hiking - did an epic 6-day hike in the north Cascades with a buddy this past summer
- Woodwork - but my toys have gathering dust (when they should be producing sawdust!!)
- Photography
- Writing

Not really hobbies, but I also go snowboarding quite a bit this time of year (with my daughters on downhill skis). I also go through stints of running; am currently on hiatus though. Need to restart that disclipline - I always enjoy when I'm back in the groove.

Shoe shopping is a hobby? I thought it was a necessity like book shopping.

Shoe shopping is the best hobby ever! I'm lucky enough to have a boyfriend who indulges and encourages me.

Hello Robin,
Living in a bush community in AK that is how we get food and "stuff" by calling stores or people and paying a % of total cost for them to shop for me. There was a person who was willing to go from store to store then delever all to airport but not anymore due to fuel costs. Anyway thought you would like a perspective that in alaska there are "personal shopper" tied to stores and self employment.

my hobbies, working, quilting and raising kids. OH and Reading lots
