| If I won the lottery today, I'd love to travel, attend the theater, and go crazy in a fancy mall. But I haven't won the lottery, so my hobbies are a bit more realistic! Basically, I'm a homebody.
Reading is my #1 pasttime. I've read some highbrow stuff... mostly because I was forced to for a class, but I did enjoy them. But give me a trashy romance, a thrilling murder, or a faraway science fiction/fantasy and I'm set! There're few things better than having a thick blanket tucked around me, a hot cup of soup, and a good book! Sean and I collected comic books for many years. We've got 12 boxes taking up a corner of the spare bedroom.
Unfortunately, I *love* to cook. I say "unfortunately" because the things I like cooking are NOT good-for-you types. I've got more cookbooks on my bookshelves than novels! Ah well...
My most evil hobby is the computer. It sucks up all my time! I can spend hours playing games or surfing the web. I've got dozens of online friends that I've never met. Once, the computer was down for almost two weeks. When Sean got it going again, I had over 500 emails waiting for me. YIKES!
Of course music or movies are always on in the background. When I'm cooking, I've got the music blaring and I'm singing along. Sean and I often throw a movie on to watch while we're hanging out at home.
As far as sports, I'm a spectator only. I adore the San Diego Chargers and the San Diego Padres. Other teams may be "better", but I'm a local girl and these are the ONLY teams for me!
We do get to travel a little bit. Every year, my parents, brother & family, and anyone else who wants to tag along go to Las Vegas. We've even started bringing the kids, and take turns staying in the rooms to babysit. We try and stay at a new resort every year, and gamble and eat to our hearts content. Sean and I go to San Francisco whenever possible. There isn't a more fun and romantic place. And we try and do little day/road trips on the weekends when we get a chance.
I also love Disney and Disneyland. I've got Disney clothes, jewelry, music, movies and knickknacks. And remember, Sean proposed to me at Disneyland. Pre-Ian, we'd save our money and blow it on a trip to Disneyland. One thing I'll do if I win the lottery is take a couple weeks and go to DisneyWorld!!!
Although, anyone who knows me can tell you that there's one thing I can do at the drop of a hat, anywhere and anytime... SLEEP!!! I can't get enough of it! |
