GTKY- hobbies

[jumpingpuddles]

What do you like to do for fun?
I love to bake, knit, watch college football (FSU and Texas fan here), and generally anything that involves basking in the warm sunshine being lazy-ish. I also have done a ton of obstacle-style runs, and will miss doing those this season.

For fun? Hang out with my kid. Do crosswords, try new wines (obviously not right now ...), watch movies, try new restaurants. Pretty low key kinda gal

[lycih]

I like doing triathlons, but that's simplified itself into just runs and swimming when I can since having DD. I'm probably putting my registration for a half in may on hold and just going to do a few 5ks instead between now and Oct/Nov.
Most of my free time is spent hanging out with my DD and triathlon training just takes up too much time.

I love watching football and cooking. I yearn for access to a woodshop and a stable so I could still ride and do woodworking. Alas... one day.

When I have free time from DS I like to swim and bike. I also enjoy reading. I like to do a lot of crafts with my son.
Aside from school, spending time with my family, and those few things I don't have much time for other hobbies right now.

We're a pretty low-key family too. I love cooking, reading, trying new recipes, meal planning/prepping, etc. In my spare time I like (non-competitive) powerlifting and taking walks at night when it's not ridiculously cold out. My husband and I have been on weight loss journeys for two years, so it's a pretty big part of our lives. I also love playing video games, my favorite is World of Warcraft and I'm also still in love with GTA: San Andreas.

I am a knitter too! I also have an ergometer (rowing machine), but don't foresee doing that much longer this pregnancy. Once the weather warms up my family loves doing nature walks and getting outside though. We also love to get out to museums, our parks, botanical garden, etc.

In the summer I like to mountain bike and play outside in general. In the winter, I used to snowboard, but haven't done that much since I was pregnant with DS. I love cooking and reading in general.

I've been playing roller derby for 7 years now, it's hard to take off the skates but this reason is so worth it. I'm giving myself through the end of March and then taking a break for the 9 month injury
I also love video games (played World of Warcraft for years) but am now currently obsessed with Dragon Age: Inquisition.
When I'm not doing those things, hanging out with my girlfriends, watching movies, going for walks, gardening, playing with our crazy dogs (a basset and a springer spaniel). I'm also considering taking up quilting, I really want to make a rainbow quilt and have an amazing design in mind.
I'm pumped for this summer, MH finally agreed that we can get a pool for the backyard so when I'm all big and cranky, I can cool down in the water

I like sports, mostly football. I am pretty low key as well, like hanging at the house inside or outside, playing pool, some video games, and I love reading. Outside of the house I like to thrift shop at stores, garage sales, and estate sales.. and I love antiquing.

Can't wait for the weather to be consistently sunny so we can be outside more.

[sassypantzz]

I like wine. And beer. And liquor. Cough. So I am teaching myself to crochet. I know how to knit. I love to cook. We are big on walks and bike rides. And reading is my favorite thing ever!

[sassypantzz]

Oh and sleeping on the beach is ranked very high too

[whatsit]

I like reading, walking and lots of crafty type stuff. I crochet, cross stitch, sew... Probably more that I can't think of right now. I like antiquing and thrift shops as well.
I like watching hockey, though I'm a sucker for punishment- my teams the Leafs.

[Krystal6826]

Hobbies: Picking up toys, Stepping on Monster trucks and Legos, and preparing food for a little monster. Or at least it seems that's all I do with my time. I run for "fun" or the race medals. Although this winter is proving to be a doozy with running. I love cooking and baking but my biggest hobby would be my blog... Which is slowly turning into a nice little business.

[USCgirl]

I enjoy baking when I am not doing the million other daily things that must get done. I also enjoy playing kickball with my group.

[zapgurl44]

I like wine and Disney. Usually both at the same time

[rztrumpet]

When I get free time, I crochet, sew, play with my new embroidery machine, and scrapbook.

Run - ran 20 marathons before DD was born (last one at 12 weeks PG). I still run a ton & I just did one in January, but I'm pretty over it. Will still run, but I bike & swim in the summer. I started crossfit about 8 weeks PP with DD and enjoy it so far.

Travel - all the places! We seriously have a travel problem & I travel for work a ton too. We've got several more trips for this year planned. DD had her passport at 5 weeks old

Drink wine! Visit wineries & wine bars

Photography- I take about 18K photos per year, so culling, editing, blogging them, putting in albums takes a ton of time.

I used to read and do yoga, but that ain't happening lately or again for the foreseeable future.

 We did an adults trip & I had a blast with DH, but there wern't nearly enough booze for sale at all the parks!  

[ashleymarie26]

I love to read, crochet, sew and cook! H and I love to take walks with the pup as well

[elliecat17]

I like to read, cross stitch, cook, sing, pet the cats. You know the things that make life enjoyable.

I want to make some type of rainbow handknit for this baby. Not sure if I want to do a blanket, because I'm a lazy knitter.

Omg, can you lead a tutorial?! I've always wanted to make my own quilts because I love them so much!
I have a vision of a gradient rainbow series of these flowers across a quilt. I am ambitious with a capital A.

When I went into delivery for my son, I had a quilt that I refused to part with. It was bittersweet using it again, but it gave me such comfort. I would love to have one I made myself the next time I go in to delivery.

Edit: link fail

Send me a link to the images. I will see what I can figure out.
