Do you prefer a serious, intense movie or a light comedy? Do you have many varied interests or focus on just one or two? Do you prefer family get togethers or would you rather spend time with good friends? Do you wish you had gone further in school or pursued a different career path? Do you need leisure time for unwinding or are you relaxed and easy going most of the time? MaryW

I like any type of movie, but it has to be believeable. I have my sewing and quilting. Other than my family duties, there just isn't time for much else. I enjoy time with good friends. I wish I had gone further in school. Money was the factor, I got a work permit when I was 15. I need my quiet leisure time. This is usually Sunday mornings and I really enjoy not doing much of anything, jammies might stay on 'til after lunch. It's not really that much time, so I really value it. MaryW

I prefer a light comedy over a serious, intense movie. I have (too) many, varied interest, but sewing is by far my favorite. Even within the sewing category I have many, varied interests. I would rather spend time with good friends. I went far enough in school, but maybe could have chosen a better career path. I definitely need liesure time for unwinding.

I love comedy and romance mostly. I love Meg Ryan and I love Nick Nolte. I have many interest but I have to stay focused on just one at a time. It gets too expensive other wise. LOL Ceramics, Photography, Sewing, Swimming, Cooking, just to name a few. I love to spend time with my family, this includes my children, grandchildren, my sister and her family and my two brothers and their families and of course Mom and Pops, but I usually include friends when I have a party or get togethers. So both I guess. Knowledge is the key to everything in my opinion, with that said, I finished high school and attended some courses at a local college after raising my family and yes I would like to further my education one day in the future. I need down time at least once a year. I need at least a week vacation every year so I can get my head back on tract and regroup my purpose here in this hectic life of mine. Actually, I am easy going it's all the people around me that causes the problems. ROFL I'm a  Susie

Do you prefer a serious, intense movie or a light comedy? I love the old kind of victorian movies, such as Jane Eyre, and many of the classic theatre movies. I really like movies such as I am Sam. Just about cried through all of it. I can really get involved in the movies so that is why I stay away anything with violence. I might just react. Do you have many varied interests or focus on just one or two? When we were first married and had little money, I made a lot of things or found old furniture and fixed them up. I still have a tendency do repair furniture. Love to quilt, paint and make wooden crafts beside making Old World Santas. I am now trying stain glass. Love it. Do you prefer family get togethers or would you rather spend time with good friends?I prefer good friends. There is a saying, you can pick your friends, but not your family. On the whole my family is great, but there is a bad apple in every bunch. Do you wish you had gone further in school or pursued a different career path? Jan and Feb. are real dead on the farm and at times I wish I could do something else, but who would hire me for that time. I have always loved interior decorating, but, well, got married had kids and never did much on the career side. I did sell tupperware years ago, and I am talking years ago, and did quite well. Kind of enjoyed it. Since my mothers hip operation, I realized how many elderly people need some special care. So instead of bettering myself, I have been thinking of spending at first a day a week and see if I can help make some of their lives better. I am starting to realize how important people are instead of doing things for myself. It is also very rewarding. Do you need leisure time for unwinding or are you relaxed and easy going most of the time?After supper my family knows not to ask too much of me. This is my unwinding time, otherwise I don't sleep well. :  Shirley

I like adventure, mystery, suspense or thriller type movies -- especially the comic ones. Once in a while a romantic type comedy. I'm not into heart warming or a serious drama. An occasional documentary is good and I love the glamor of old Hollywood. I have a lot of passing interests but only a few passions. I am always in the middle of a book, a couple sewing projects and a few handwork projects such as cross stitch, needlepoint, knitting, crochet -- that sort of thing. I wish I had the money to add travel to the list of things I do a lot of. I love spending time with my girls -- when they have the time for me. My husband and I spend most of our free time together. And I have a few good friends I enjoy being with. I didn't really choose my career, it just sort of happened to me and I think it worked out to be the best. I was able to work as a freelance writer at home when my girls were young and needed me and able to work out of the home in a newsroom when they were teens and drove me crazy -- then back home freelance now that I have it to myself again. I've really enjoyed my work (for the most part) and get to learn a little about a lot of cool stuff -- including floors this week. I'm pretty relaxed and easy going but that's because I claim a lot of leisure time for unwinding. I really need to handle fabrics a little everyday. I believe people should make a real effort to spend as much time as possible enjoying themselves with jobs they find interesting and satisfying and leasure activities that are relaxing and fun. |
