Hobbies
Over my 25 years, I've found that I most enjoy reading, and I typically have 2-3 books going at one time, thanks to my personal mini library, so I can get in as much reading as possible. When not reading (or working) I find time to color, paint, or crochet. I find joy in coloring books and paint-by-numbers because you're never too old for that kind of thing! My crocheting consists of whatever fits my fancy at the time including purses, monster pens, bookmarks, or whatever else someone asks me to try. I am commonly referred to as a crazy cat lady by my friends due to my fondness for four-legged felines. I have great joy in talking about my fur babies =^.^= I am also an avid movie watcher with a vast knowledge of classic Disney trivia that puts my friends to shame (I am both proud and ashamed of this achievement). However, I find most enjoyment going outside on a warm day with a thick book, reading the hours away.
