Well....I really enjoy my boat in the summer time. There is nothing that makes me happier than loading my big hairy guy (Cabeza, not Mark!) and my super cool kid and the boyfriend into the boat, packing a lovely picnic and a nice bottle of wine, and heading out to Lake Michigan for the day.
Lake Michigan itself may be considered one of my hobbies. Can you say that? Lake Michigan is a hobby? Seriously, I go there rain or snow, summer or winter, and I obsess over its health and the quality of the water, shorebirds, etc. I've spent two summers working on e.coli issues at the Lake and I'm sure its where I'll end up working professionally . I love that dang Lake!
Hmm...I also enjoy maps and geography. I like to make maps, look at maps, talk about maps...
I absolutely LOVE to cook. My mom and my daughter and I will spend an entire week planning what we are going to cook on Saturday, and then we all get together and make it on Saturday nights. Its a wonderful weekend. Each one of us pick out a particular recipe or dish, and we all make the one we chose. (My 12 year old can cook Emeril under the table)
Someone else mentioned entertaining as a hobby, and I totally agree that is a hobby!!!! In the summer time, dinner parties are a twice weekly occurance at our house.
I also enjoy riding my bike, hiking, camping and reading a good book.
