Poll question: When relaxing, what do you do more of?
I rarely watch t.v., and spend most of my "relaxation time listening to music.

1. I'm a TV junkie
but it's actually pretty evenly split between reading and tv. I read about 2-3 hours a day during the week, more in the weekend. Half the time, I have the tv on just for background noise while I'm making dinner, cleaning, etc etc. I actually sit down and watch perhaps 1.5 hours a day, including the news.

2. I read
I haven't turned on the tv for anything besides watching a dvd in years. I bring a book wherever I go and every time I have a couple of minutes, I read a paragraph or two. :hi:

4. relaxing = hobby time
Im either making jewelry, or painting, or fishing, or doing something with my hands. I feel like if Im not doing something Im wasting time.

10. I haven't relaxed in over three years.
But if I could, I'd probably go to a full-service hotel so that someone else could do the cooking and cleaning for me while I'd just lay around.

13. On my computer, listening to music.
Reading and movie watching are probably tied for second.

15. Sit out on the deck and watch the birds
In my free time, I have been writing a lot more lately. I am discovering that Virginia Woolf had a point in "A Room of One's Own" though. I am having a hard time writing around my husband or anyone else.
