What do you do in your spare time?

[starmom]

In my spare time I play the djembe, hang with family and play Rock Band, study up on bee keeping in anticipation of the 2 colonies I'll ave this spring, build fences at the ranch in anticipation of the goats, build chicken coops in anticipation of the chickens, ready myself and the house for the new Kangal puppy this December, continual communication with the architect on our house at the ranch, take my grandson fishing, tickle my granddaughter, and on and on and on.....

If I actually had any 'spare' time, I'd probably sleep for a few hours!

I play CoD4 and the new MMO warhammer, study, clean cages..

ummm...I surf the web and troll various forums alot.

Of course I watch tv/movies alot too.

Lets see:

Maintain and renovate the house
Play with my daughter
Talk with the wife (more like be spoken too by the wife. )
build Rat racks or Snake racks
Work on my 72 Nova frame off restoration project
Cut the grass
Clean and feed snakes and rats
Check on the forums from time to time
Yell at the daughter for watching to much T.V., Playing Wii too long, or playing on the computer too long
Tinker in the garage with other things like maintaining the lawn mower, sorting through parts, putting up shelves, better organizing the garage for the next job...

Ah, speaking of MMORPGs, if you like those types of games, but don't see the justification in spending the money for a subscription based game, or can't spend 8 hour blocks of time on a game like WoW will make you do, Aeriagames has some FREE MMORPGs. I started playing Last Chaos about a year ago, and still play once in a while when I feel like it...

Well my boyfriend is hooked on Vanguard. So in order to get some "Us" time I decided to start playing computer games with him. But since I won't pay for Vanguard (plus he's at the top level) we found a couple free MMORPGs to play together. The one we've played the most would be Archlord. But we used to play Dungeon Runners as well. Pretty cool games, but of course I am a newbie at those kind of games so take it for what it's worth. lol

Other than that we usually clean up after the animals and then relax watching a little tv or movies he's downloaded.

Guild Wars is a good one, too. You have to buy the software, but there is no monthly subscription to pay. If you like TONS of content and TONS of customization for your character developement, it's a great game. My hubby loves it. A bit too complex for my tastes.

I bought that one, installed it, played it ONCE before I had to reformat my computer and just never reinstalled it... Maybe I'll do that next time I'm bored and want to kill some time...

So every night after i'm all finished up for the day I find myself getting really bored. I used to play pythonkings a lot and I read a lot, but as the winter approaches I continue finding myself increasingly more bored. Anyone have suggestions to entertain myself? Internet based? Home based? anyone?

I'm on this forum and Facebook a lot
Play World Of Warcraft
Watch a lot of movies
Fix/modify/drift my car
Handle the snake
Walk my dog
Play with my cat
Spend a lot of time with my boyfriend
Play guitar
Sing
Photography/photoshop
Used to do Pointe Ballet, soccer, baseball and hockey before a knee injury a few years ago
That's about it

I have three young kids 6,3, and 8 months so there is not alot of free time right now.

When I do have it I am reading, watching football or baseball and my wife and I play WoW together.

My job comes home with me alot so alot of my free time is dedicated to CAD and running construction projects.

I work a 60 hour week, most of my time is spent with the snakes and rodents, doing a bit of contract work, academic writing/research, and we throw vernissages in our loft.

Which will change as we are moving, so not having that looming every 5 months will be a nice break.

One of the last 2 things I built (for a show) were these lights... from discarded and found objects (and snakes skins)...



This is our house at about 3 am during a vernissage. Looks like fun, but hosting 300 people over 72 hours actually is somewhat tiring. The curator isn`t 25 anymore.

Before I had so many snakes I use to play guitar, guide white water raft trips, and work as a fitness trainer. Now I clean rodent cages.

[Muze]

Whoa! Spare time? What a concept! Lol...

Well, after the 8-5ver, the homework, the cleaning (snakes, Bearded Dragons, dogs, boyfriend, etc.), & working out, I surf all the Herp forums for a while, read a book (just finished The Snake Charmer) or the latest issue of Reptiles magazine, or play some Rock Band (we should have a BP.net RB night, btw), or rent a scary movie, or maybe just watch a bit of TV (only if King of Queens, Family Guy, 30 Rock, Weeds, or House is on. Otherwise, who cares?). Weekends I'll visit all the reptile stores in the area, or shows if there are any.

I have been known to also go horseback riding, visit amusement parks, go to the beach, and go clubbing. But not often...
