What do you do to relax?
#11
I look at my fabrics and daydream. I look for new jokes and funny stories. I spend time here with my quilting sisters,(and brothers).
I watch a movie or read. A little television each night. Sometimes DH and I play Scrabble. :-D

spring, summer and fall, I am outside either gardening or relaxing with a glass of wine. Mostly quilt on Sat and Sun afternoons. In the winter I'm on here alot, Bake/cook, like to read mysterys and watch a little TV. Usually get a couple wine kits going...dry whites

I have a variety of relaxations...some of which sound like work, but because they're different, actually do the trick. If the weather is not too hot or too cold I like cutting back underbrush, trimming trees, burning brush, etc. Otherwise I can be found on this board, quilting (duh!), snuggled up with a good book, sunk in bubbles in my big ole tub, playing single player strategy games on my laptop or Sudoku on my Blackberry or doing something with DGS.

I have been working 12-14 hours a day so I have to "squeeze" in relax time. So when I get home I usually take the dogs for a short walk, grab a cup of tea,a sandwich and my laptop and read what everyone is up to. On weekends I like to spend time with the grandkids and sew. I did take all next week off so I am officially on vacation right now! Woo Hoo!!! So my relaxing will consist of a LOT of quilting stuff!!! I will have to check out that website because I do enjoy work games too!!

Anyways, my sister and her daughter who was 7 came to my house when we lived on the Oregon Coast. Well she wanted to play monopoly and as a good Aunt, I played with her and there were 3 other adults playing with her and at first it was fun but then the game dragged on and on and on. So shhhhh dont tell her but us adults started putting some of our money back into the "bank" so that we could end the game. Not all at once, but a little here and a little there and it was still taking us forever to end that game. Anyways she got up to go to the bathroom and that was our chance so we all put almost all our money back into the bank, acted as if nothing happened and she came back none the wiser and eventually about a half hour later the game ended..And YES she did win. That entire game lasted almost 5 hours...way to long to play Monopoly. lol.

Same as many of you here: read cozy mysteries, cook for fun (not under pressure) take hot baths, sew, knit, nap sometimes, read the info here, just about making anything with my hands relaxes me...amazingly enough, shoveling last week really relaxed me. Good thing, we may have more snow!
