I realize that's kind of a joke...who has free time...(laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc, do NOT COUNT!!!)

So when you find a bit of time all to yourself, what do you like to do?

I like to read, draw, crochet and ride my bike. I love video games. Right now I'm huge into Pogo and I'm thinking I better unsubscribe soon before it becomes an addiction. :)

What can I do next?

Girl time. I love my girl time - time with a friend to just chat & unwind without children or spouses around. I love what a great outlet it is, to just let it all out & spend time with someone that loves me & that I can totally be myself with.

Doesn't really matter WHAT we do, honestly - could be coffee, window shopping, lunch, etc. Just getting that time in at least once a month is a lifesaver for me.

I leave the house and go somewhere away from the daily grunt. I go online and read what's going on, sometimes nothing whatsoever, just sit outside enjoying nature.

If I have 2 minutes or less: Words with Friends or Scramble with Friends

If I have 10 minutes (or more, but I need to be ready to back in action at a moment's notice): read - anything and everything.

If I have "real" freedom ie not tethered to anyone or anything: Yoga! At a studio...ahh...bliss!

answers from Los Angeles on

The only free time I have is time I very specifically set aside and I use it to work out. If it is a choice between working out and dropping laundry, dishes or anything other than feeding my kids I choose the workout. If I didn't make it such a priority it would never happen. I love to read and i love photography but rarely set time aside for either anymore. Now in two years when my kids are in school... who knows! Maybe I'll have some free time.

I love my flower garden and can stay outside for hours. I try to excercise at least a half-hr to 45 minutes every other day. Once a week, I make a big salad with loads of veggies and toss it in my big glass bowl and put the lid on it---for lunch or for picking ! I usually call a friend at least once a week to chat. This week, I am going to call a friend who lives in Georgia. Next week, I'll call my friend in New Jersey. I love to cut coupons, too.
Every single day, I click the box on the animal rescue site who, in turn, donates .6 bowls of food to animals in shelters.

I have TONS of free time! I work p/t from home and hubby spoils me and does a lot of the housework so I have a lot of "ME" time. =) I love to watch reality tv, play on the computer, usually on here and Facebook...read, swim in the summers and ride bikes in the winter (too hot in the summer to do anything but swim). =)
