QOTD Thursday (hobbies/activities)
What is your biggest hobby/activity/interest outside of work? This can be anything, like a class you take once a week, cooking, crafting, going to happy hours, or whatever you enjoy.

I currently spend most of my free time reading, but have been promising myself for the last two years that I would get a "real" hobby that would get me out and about since DH travels so much. I've got a great DSLR and would like to learn more about photography, but I haven't seen any meet-ups or classes that have been able to entice me out of my comfort zone.
I also really enjoy baking, but I haven't had as much time lately to devote to that.
Cooking/baking, definitely. I'm trying to stretch myself and learn new things (hence the blog).
I wish I had more time/money for yoga but I haven't been in a while.

baby blog/cooking blog
I lead a flute choir at my church, but don't have the time anymore for any other ensembles. I also decided, after college, that I'd never endure an audition ever again!
Otherwise, I enjoy baking and other crafty endeavors (felt, paper crafts, etc.).

Right now, it is running. I'm training for a 10k in a few weeks, then my first half-marathon in March.
Also, I love to read, but I mostly do that on my commute.

Stand up for something you believe in.
Cooking, reading and photography. I also spend some time crafting, but not that much.
I would very much like to get serious about photography, but I'm lazy.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
My Food Blog
Zumba (I only go once per week, but have really grown fond of it), scrapbooking, reading, playing boardgames and Wii games.
I really want to get back into art- I took a lot of drawing classes in high school, but haven't done much since. I was pretty good at it, but am afraid I've lost any skill I had because it's been so long.
Planning Bio
photography, crafts (mostly cards/tags), and cooking
i took a photo class last winter and want to take another soon. maybe a photoshop class too? i am a big fan of classes because they keep me from getting lazy.
Running and reading are my two favorite hobbies.
There is nothing I like better than curling up with a book/Kindle while eating junk food (chips, cookies, candy, etc.), which is why I need to run to work off all those calories.
I love that my hobby is now my job! I get to live, sleep, eat, and breathe personal growth, so now I can justify all the books, blogs, and programs/classes I've taken for the past 8 years.
I guess my other hobby right now that fits in with the above is trying to find a more "natural" way of living a healthy life as it pertains to body and health. Reading up on Primal Blueprint stuff right now and loving the thought of it as a lifestyle. Incorporating it bit by bit.
And finally, music/performing will always be a huge part of my life/my relationship with O: being in bands, hosting band jams and karaoke parties in our basement, going to live-band Rock-n-Roke, hosting karaoke gigs out at restaurants, and going out a few times a month to see mostly bands our friends are in.
Singing. DH and I both sing in a chorus we helped start in 2009 after our old one folded. We have rehearsals weekly when we're preparing for a concert, and do 3 concerts a year, so it's a considerable time suck.
I love cooking/baking but I don't have the time to devote to it that I once did. Sad panda. And I do like to crochet, though I'm not very good and haven't picked up my stuff in over a year so I don't think I have much hope of getting better!
Exercise. I've been doing Bar Method for the last few months. It is addictive.
Also, reading, baking, and all things pop culture (my tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc.)
I run alot in my spare time, although it hasn't been as much as I'd like lately since we moved. I also enjoy knitting and crocheting. MH calls me Grannie Annie when I pull out my projects at random times (dr.s office, waiting for friends, metro, ya know). Oh and one more thing, I love to cook and bake and am super excited for the holidays so I have an excuse to go all out!
