Any free time me and Alex share is spent doing something daft. We are very good at making each other laugh! Obviously I love spending time with my two cats who are like my children, but like you most of my leisure time is spent reading.Rhinoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09653101609312700765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-78966679249705169532008-02-09T10:51:00.000-08:002008-02-09T10:51:00.000-08:00Julia - I have trouble reading through commercials. They never run long enough for me to get any decent reading in and if I do get into the book, I forget to watch the show when it does come back on. I can't win. Thank goodness for my DVR and being able to fast forward right through them. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a good weekend too!Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-7739995430080451812008-02-08T23:44:00.000-08:002008-02-08T23:44:00.000-08:00That one of reason why I prefer watching shows from DVD. Because you can pass through all the commercials. And you know...sometime watching live shows isn't bad things because when commercials come on, I can take a quick read on my books before the live show come back on at each break hehehe<BR/><BR/>Yep me too..with the PC. My family always wonder why I spent too much times on the PC *sigh*...<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a good weekend!Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06327851309182088290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-46412508741213142572008-02-08T22:36:00.000-08:002008-02-08T22:36:00.000-08:00Melody - It's worth treasuring, I think! Sometimes I feel like I should be more active and out there. There are some people who have such full lives I wonder if they ever sleep. But then, I do like my quiet life.<BR/><BR/>And yes, work computer time and home computer time--very different things!Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-72150909835967974152008-02-08T20:59:00.000-08:002008-02-08T20:59:00.000-08:00I treasure every moment at home, and listening to music and watching the shows I like really helps me to relax and unwind. And I don't think I will get tired of being on a computer because office work and leisure are two different things, hehe...Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-78019656006938951572008-02-08T17:15:00.000-08:002008-02-08T17:15:00.000-08:00Iliana - I think you are right! They just need to find the right book and they'll be just as smitten as the rest of us. :-) <BR/><BR/>I have gotten so used to watching shows without commercials that when I do watch live TV, I get so impatient having to sit through them. Commercials are rarely on long enough for me to read and if I get up and do something I may very well not come back. <BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about being behind.

Frankly, I'm surprised people don't like to read - I think they just haven't found a good book! :)<BR/>My husband and I love going to the movies too and we watch shows only on DVD. That way we don't have to worry about commercials and if we have a bit of time we can watch maybe two shows. Only downside is that we are always behind on the latest & greatest :)Ilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-12001561509765791352008-02-08T11:34:00.000-08:002008-02-08T11:34:00.000-08:00Nikki - They do keep me occupied. :-) <BR/><BR/>Dancin' Fool - I'm selfish that way. Haha <BR/><BR/>I posted my TizMe today. It was fun! I wish I had a body like that! <BR/><BR/>Alice - My husband is the same way about the computer. I enjoyed reading about your conversation with the boy. It's very true!<BR/><BR/>Chris - It suits me and my needs, at least. :-)<BR/><BR/>Karen - I've been enjoying reading everyone's responses too.<BR/><BR/>It's easy to get lost in the internet sometimes--so much to see and do. I think many of us are in the same boat.<BR/><BR/>Amy - I've been noticing how often people come back to books when talking about their other interests. I've always liked to read, but I wasn't always so book and reading oriented in my interests. I'm really curious to see how it all evolves for me down the road.<BR/><BR/>Animals really are special. I love my two.<BR/><BR/>Florinda - Yes, it's definitely a good thing to enjoy spending time with the spouse, I think. Mine's my best friend and I wouldn't want it any other way.<BR/><BR/>Pussreboots - I need the quiet after work, that's for sure. :-)Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-70926998571464499882008-02-08T10:42:00.000-08:002008-02-08T10:42:00.000-08:00I spent my free time in similar quiet activities. <A HREF="http://www.pussreboots.pair.com/blog/2008/02.html#btt_enough" REL="nofollow">Happy BTT</A>.pussrebootshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02167235847991793325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-32873912702814118302008-02-08T09:06:00.000-08:002008-02-08T09:06:00.000-08:00We have several of the same leisure activities in common, it appears - including enjoying time with our spouses, which is probably a good thing. :-)Florindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-75530605158641838832008-02-08T08:17:00.000-08:002008-02-08T08:17:00.000-08:00A lot of my hobbies are indirectly reading related too.<BR/><BR/>I forgot to write down my pets.

I've found another person who loves the PC as much as I do. I totally can relate to you. I don't feel so crazy anymore because that's what people kept telling me. "You nuts? How can you bear facing the PC after work?"

Your leisure time sounds wonderful and calm and most importantly like it's exactly what you would most choose to do!<BR/><BR/>I have found blogging to be a great tool for sorting things in my life out and getting down to the important persuits rather than spreading yourself too thin. It's almost like online self therapy sometimes! <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing your TizMe!
