Re: I could get lost for hours doing: _____________

This is an easy one for me. 

 

I could get lost for hours Reading.

 

I read primarily in the evening, when I am really getting into a book. I will sometimes set timers through Alexa, primarily during the work week for 30 minute periods to get my attention.

Re: I could get lost for hours doing: _____________

I have a few hobbies/interests that can and do keep me occupied.  Which I'm involved in at any given time depends on my mood.

 

  • Crocheting
  • Knitting
  • Reading
  • Genealogy research
  • Coloring - my "research" to decide on color combinations for my crochet and knitting projects
  • Computer  solitaire!
  • Doing nothing but listening to my favorite music

@qualitygal  Looking through old family photos. When I open one of the box's, hours and hours fly by.


@Queen of shop  I'm with you with the old family photos. I got them when Mom died and sorted them as best I could as I didn't know everyone. They went back to the early 1900's. I have two shoeboxes full. However, when my time is up I know they will be going in the trash. Sad.


@proudlyfromNJYes, I got them too when mom passed. Hubs scanned them all for me to my computer split up in folders. Over 5,700 lol.Woman LOL But I like to look at the originals sometimes. They are all in five big Rubbermaids. I like to sit on the floor with a bottle of water and some tissues. I smile, I cry, I laugh. I feel like I have visited my long gone relatives. Heart

 

My pictures will be dumped too when I am no longer here. That's why I look at them from time to time and enjoy them. I have sent, by email, a lot of them to my cousins. They enjoy them too.

I read while listening to classical music every day in the late afternoon.

 

Apparently, I can also get lost for hours here, too. :-)

Organizing my cupboards and closets.   I know it seems strange but I love doing that.
