What is your favorite hobb(y)(ies) and why

[LadyChocolate]

Chocolate! Lots of chocolate!

Seriously:

I enjoy cooking gourmet meals for my family! I love to try new recipes and they enjoy it too!!!
I enjoy decorating everything from my walls to cakes! Too much fun!

Organizing isn't a great thrill of mine but I do make a hobby of emptying out all the cabinets and drawers periodically just to re organize them. Just did this tonight with my pots and pans.

I love to sing, play, and write music. This is my escape. A time when I am alone with God and just really pour my heart out.

Reading is a definate. Mostly the Bible, and then I enjoy reading Francine Rivers, my husband surprisingly likes some of her stuff. I also enjoy reading Clive Cussler. He's an incredible writer.
I've also had a few Java Script and Linux books thrown in my lap. Browsed through them... I'd like to get into graphics and/or web design. I'd move ahead of my husband then! lol

1. Reading (fiction)
2. Watercolor painting
3. Making earrings to sell
4. Making DVD's for our local funeral home (side job)
5. Playing online and reading AFF
6. Doing Power Point for church
7. Genealogy
8. Crocheting (some)

You asked "Why?" Most of what I do I just do because I am creative and need to express myself. Reading and Genealogy I do because I love history. And #5 I do just because I am addicted - just like most of the rest of you

Reading, gardening, playing the piano, singing, thinking, going out to dinner, walking, looking for ways to make life easier.

Reading. . . .(fiction: suspense, romance, murder mysteries, etc. . I'm not too picky)
Spending time with my husband and kids. . . .
Sudoku. . . .I have a book but also found a great site to play online. I thought I would hate it but it's quite addicting!
Bejeweled . . . .another computer game that I have also found to be quite addicting. My husband and I compete to see who can get the highest score or to the highest level. I had 1,000,000+ in my score and got to level 10 (and unlocked a new secret level) only to find out yesterday that all the high scores had been reset. But of course, my husband denies all knowledge of this. He claims my 5 yr old did so by 'clicking on stuff'. . . . .hmmmmm
Singing. . . .I'm certainly not the best at it, but feel God did give me a talent for it and I enjoy it. I like knowing that God perhaps touched someone through something I sang. . .that He used me to reach someone.

Gardening & farming.

I don't have a very large thing going yet. I had 2 small gardens last year. I am wanting to have a bigger on this year but I am not sure if we will be living here or not.

I would also like to raise sheep.

I would like to have some land and raise some sheep and a garden.

The reason... I don't care so much for all of the various contamination scenarios that we are made subject to every few months.

I would love to live mostly on food that I raised myself. I had considered raising cattle but I decided that if I raised sheep then I could butcher them by myself but I would have to have a cow butchered which costs a fair amount of money per pound.

You would still save money by having your own cow butchered but you would lose a lot of your savings that way though.
