O/T: Do you have an uncommon stress-busting hobby or pastime?

For me, it's coloring. I'm the only adult that I know who owns her very own Crayolas and coloring books.

Am I alone here? Does anyone else have an uncommon hobby or pastime?

I draw floor plans on graphing paper. I am not an architect, engineer, or interior designer - but I enjoy mapping out various house plans from my imagination. I also enjoy driving around in different neighborhoods and imagining what the interior of certain homes look like. I use these as inspiration, also. I have notebooks upon notebooks of these floor plans, done over many years.

I walk the beach, if the surf has been kind, I hunt for sea glass. For hours.

Otherwise, I just walk and walk and pray.

DH bought me this one for my last birthday and I'm just starting it today.

I collect antique glass. And it takes a lot of researching sometimes to ID it correctly.
