It's nice to take these little "breaks" from the world of cancer.
Yup, FB is on the list, BUT, my passion is being "Mo Mo" to my 2 favorite little guys. Who would have thought that playing cars on the floor, watching Toy Story for the 100th time and having popsicle parties would be the best thing!
Enjoy breaking bread with family & friends, walks, baking and road trips.
Unfortunately, I work in a large corporate company and have quite a few friends that have been diagnosed. When I was diagnosed, I recieved a basket of goodies from my friends. It felt so special to open up cards, notes & gifts of inspiration. Since then, I have put together "love boxes" for people that I know that have been diagnosed. I hope it's as special to them as it was to me.
The latest one is my own beautiful cousin, Stayce who lives in Germany, diagnosed 2 months ago. It's bittersweet. Although I love putting them together to help them, I've made way too many
Hugs,
Sylvia
So what and how do you do the love boxes? Sounds like fun and will make someone happy. Please let me know if you have the time.

Being out side
When I am not at work, I like to be outside. To walk, hike, yard work, walk the dog. One of our favorite walk/hikes is from Baker Beach to the Golden Gate Bridge. I also have 3 grand kids. We all went to Wisconsin for Memorial Weekend. It was great! We went to the zoo and had barbeques and just played! My aunt and her son are great cooks! In three days I gained 2 pounds!
Ok, I kind of forgot the thread. With the grand kids we go to the museum, the zoo, the rec center, hockey lessons. They are so awesome.
I also like to read but usually it's pre-school books to my grand daughter. I prefer sci-fi/fantasy but I will read just about anything.

I am really enjoying readingGabe N Abby Mom said:I seem to spend lots of time
I seem to spend lots of time running my kids here and there, ballet, football, school, friends...I'm a reader too, mostly fiction. CC I will look for your recommendation. I also love to explore museums (history, art, science, etc) and just hang with family and friends.
Thanks for starting this, I really enjoyed reading everyone's comments.
Hugs,
Linda
I am really enjoying reading everyone's responses too! It lets us know a little more about our pink sisters.
Praying for you Linda!0 -

I spent last weekend getting the summer garden in -- this year, I'm trying zucchini, red bell peppers, tomatoes, basil, and 3 kinds of sunflowers (I love sunflowers), in addition to my year-round herb garden.
I've been taking bellydance classes for 5+ years now -- great core workout, WAY more fun than crunches, and SHOPPING comes along with it, all those jingly hip scarves, pretty veils, finger cymbals...
My latest obsession is couponing....yes, kind of like those people on the Extreme Couponing show, except that I do NOT have 10 years' worth of paper towels stockpiled, and I have NEVER spent 5 hours at the grocery store or bought 100 bottles of hot sauce! But I do have a meticulously organized coupon binder that's so heavy I can barely lift it, and I'm regularly saving about $50 a week just in coupons. Any other couponers here?

No, I am not a couponer Traci, but, I know some that are. Saving $50 is a lot of money per week. So, WTG!
That's cool that you belly dance! I bet it is a great workout!

So, I have played sports all my life...was really worried when I had my surgeries last year that I wouldn't be able to play ball anymore...but so far so good this year...I play slow-pitch on a ladies team...And I love it!! I'm 44 and after a weekend tournament sometimes think I'm getting too old. (lol) but I enjoy it so much...
I also like to go to the casino...when I'm there, nothing else matters...all of my worries go away & it's just me time...it's a wonderful break from reality...
Other than that, I spend my time with my two kids...at a hockey rink in the winter and a soccer field in the summer...I love to watch them and scream and cheer...
This idea was fun...:)

Love being outside when theTux said:Hobbies & interests
I also love to read. I also garden, run, walk, ride my bike, scrapbook, play with my cats, watch TV, tutor, cook, & sew. I volunteer a lot in my community also. This summer I am helping out with grandkids, too.
Love being outside when the weather is nice, like now. We have a small vegetable garden and I also have flowers in beds and in pots, which keeps me busy watering and weeding.
We love to entertain outside with friends and family and also enjoy going to others for a cookout or a big campfire at night where we all sit around, have a few drinks and talk and laugh.
We walk and ride our bikes together which is always fun.
We used to go to the movies quite often, but, there is never anything out there anymore that interests us. The last movie we saw and loved was The Help at a theatre, so, we use Netflix a lot.
Thanks for an interesting post Susie.0 -

ice-cream! I am on a
ice-cream! I am on a mission to feed everyone homemade ice-cream whenever I can. Looove going to the farmer's market, picking up fruit and brain storming some idea. The latest is peach mascarpone with honey cinnamon caramel. I was thinking of roasted plum or pluots with walnuts and honey.
Then it is crochet, and currently I am dying silk scarves actually because I need them for the mosque but it has got me thinking of how I could possibly help BC chemo patients. I like the silk because it soft and light, great on hot days in the summer.
Photography is something else I love doing as is watching junky TV shows and eating chocolate.0 -
Thanks Susie for this post!Rague said:"Play" - one armed bandits?
Carol -
When you say 'go to Nevada and play' - are you referring to the 'one armed bandits' or 'tables'? I love the penny slots - I'm. "Big time spender' - we went to Deadwood (SD) after the Crazy Horse Volksmarch on Sat. We were supposed to go fishing but as Hubby decided he wanted the all you can 'pig out on' crab claws at the Silverado so we went. He won't play but likes to sit and watch people so he gave me $20 to 'blow' and I did on the penny ones in about 2 hrs. They have 'online casinos' on almost evey corner here in town but I will not go in them - think it would be way to easy to get addicted to them. As I see it though, when we do actually go to Deadwood (2 or 3 times a year) if I 'blow' $20 or $30 having fun - that's really no different than going to a movie or bowling or whatever.

I am still reading all of the posts and really enjoy learning more about my pink sisters. I love this post Susie!0 -
gardening
Not that I am always a green thumb but it does result in some exercise and sunshine. Next thing is canning the food. My dh says this is my hobby but it is too much work to call a hobby. It does however save money and I am definately into that. It also allows me to control my diet better. I play solitare on the computer and make a bargain with myself to get up and do a few house chores after a certain number of games depending on how much work there is. When the grandchildren are around I pick on them and they pick back (all in good fun of course). Until i had to give up the internet I did a lot of Facebook and will still venture there when I go to the library as it allows me to catch up with out of town relatives.0 -

You are so welcome Debby M. I have really liked reading all of the posts too from the pink sisters. This was fun!
Now, what should I ask next? lol0 -
Haha!!
Well, well...I'm afraid I do too much facebook. But I also work a full time job. I have 4 pets (3 guinea pigs and a cat) that I spend time with and enjoy. I love cooking so when I get home after work, I go straight to the kitchen to cook. I also ride my bike for exercising and sometimes write. I wish I spent most of my time writing which is about the only thing I really enjoy doing the most. 0
