What do you do for fun?

Hmmmm....fun......I talk on PT, Play with my Critters, take pics, play with my kids, bowl, Hike, Horse back ride ect...

That sounds like a lot of fun things. I'm still not sure what I'll be doing though. I want a change from what I do now...which is watching movies, playing games, TV, indoor stuff....walking is good. I walk my dogs every night. I would love hiking, but we don't really have mountains here I loved it when I was in Utah. Although I almost died when me and Amy hiked up the the "G" I can't for the life of me think of somethings that I REALLY would enjoy...Lately I haven't felt like much photography, drawing, etc...which is strange. Oh, and I think I'll volunteer at either the pet shelter or a vet clinic. Preferably a vet clinic because I'm hoping it will improve my chances of getting into the college I want... plus, it's enjoyable.

pembroke: I haven't had much of a lesson yet. I bought a book from her and have been practicing myself. I'm having fun with it so far. I'm looking forward to learning to play it better. (I'd really like to play the Moonlight Sonata someday)

How about dance? I love Scottish country dance - not sure exactly where you are, but there are a million chapters in Canada! And you don't need to bring a partner - people just switch around (I'm tall, so I tend to dance the man's part when there aren't enough men because it's easy to walk under my arm). Or try country line dancing or jazz dance, something that doesn't require a partner.

Another fun thing to try is "found sculpture" - keep an eye out for interesting little things, seed pods and gears and marbles and colorful stones and springs and stuff, build shadowbox frames (if you want to get fancy, use a mirror for a back) and arrange your little lost-and-found treasures (with the help of whatever fabric, yarn, twigs, spools, etc. you've got kicking around) into interesting little 3-D tableaux.

The most bored people I know are the people who watch lots of TV and play lots of video games. They forget how to make stuff up, and then they get bored. Make stuff up. Tell outrageous stories that you don't expect anybody to believe, just to get people's reactions. Pick something other than shoelaces to lace your shoes up with. Invent poppyseed waffles. Draw your own 2008 calendar. Write a letter to a fictional character who hasn't picked up on all the foreshadowing or is otherwise missing a clue. And give the zombie boxes a rest - they take away more than your time.

I play with Polymer Clay! I'll have to get some pics up of my latest projects.

lol. My mom does that...her and her sister once told this lady (my aunts daughter in law's mother) that they have all this orange cleaner spray and they need to go door to door and sell it...only they need to dress up in chicken costumes while they do. The lady was like oh, well, let me buy 3 bottles!! there was more to it then that, but it was really funny cause the story sounded really fake but the lady believed them
