Default What do you do to pass the time during the winter?

Not much different than the rest of the year. Mostly an indoor person, anyways.

Some volunteering (school, nsg homes), a few hrs employment (preschool).

2 naps a day.

Playing lots of piano.

TV. Occasional videos with family and popcorn.

Friends.

Wa-ay too much computer. MSWorld, NeuroTalk, chats, email, reading news online, Facebook, Sudoku, Bejeweled Blitz, etc.

Cooking (when I have to), eating at home, going out to eat.

Diet Dr. Pepper.

Church: Wed. evgs, Sun. am's. Teaching kids, doing children's story, playing piano in Worship Band.

Occasional walking, indoors when it's too cold. Should do more.

DD20 coming home from college in Canada for Spring Break first wk in March (still winter, on my calendar). Will celebrate DD18's 19th b-day and attend an Elton John/Billy Joel concert while they're here.

Same thing I do in the summer, when it's too hot, Watch TV and play on mY pc. Oh, and eat & sleep.

It doesn't take much to muse me.

Read, eat, watch tv, crochet my fingers off, eat some more, knit some, eat some more, crochet... sleep. Occasionally I get up and go use the bathroom.

Space program?? We still have a space program?? I'm hoping the space program isnt really getting cut. The space program is where we got a lot of the innovations of the 70s and 80s. Velcro...smaller electronics, freeze dried ice cream!!!

We need those important innovations like freeze dried ice cream!

If I wasnt afraid of getting vertigo from being weightless, I'd LOVE to go into outer space.

I was one of those kids in the 70s that was obsessed with becoming an astronaut. I took all the cool maps of the solar system and universe and the moon out of my dad's National Geographics and had them all over my walls.

I watched every launch that I was able to of the space shuttle. (I stayed up for the shuttle launch the other night. It's still cool to watch a shuttle lift off) I still remember what I was doing and where I was when the Challenger disaster happened.

I do have to admit that I researched a bunch about the few actual space disasters that NASA has had. I have this weird fascination with engineering disasters. (I have books about building collapses, ships sinking...almost more fascinated with why something blew up or sank than I am with how things flew or floated)

Lately, I've been finding very inventive ways to get lots of attention from Hunks..
