Re: what are your wifes hobbies?

Golf (she and my children are all club champions.  I don't play...)

Gourmet cooking (and then she tells me I eat too much...)

Crocheting lacework (used to do it professionally...)

Casino gambling (to a system based on cold logic, not voodoo or wishful thinking...)

Gardening (in the Dessicated Desert...)

Exercise (which is why she's 'over 65' going on forty...)

Keeping me out of trouble...

Brenda absolutely loves to come up with things for me to do.

We will fill in Katie for the scratched out Brenda.  She also is good at pushing for a kid and throwing around guilt trips because she has no time for a hobbie.  Hey not my fault she chose to be a teacher and I chose to be a pilot.

Re: what are your wifes hobbies?

Day trading, watching cable business and news networks, and engaging in heated political discussions.

Hey, at least one of her hobbies is (theoretically) geared toward actually making money! That's certainly more than I can say of mine...

Cindy does scrapbooking, geneology, and tries to keep up with the goings on of four children, their families to include eight grandchildren. That is a bunch of keeping up.

Re: what are your wifes hobbies?

Well, you have to understand that we are accountants, and my wife not only is a practicing CPA, but teaches accounting.... One of her, my, our hobbies is shooting those get rich programs on TV full of holes....

We garden, she knits, the family is in on the model railroad... We love to do family type stuff, we cook together, we take turns reading aloud to the children, and the older girl takes her turn as well...

Re: what are your wifes hobbies?

Amy scrapbooks and crochet's mainly.  She also helps out with minor garden work, and is currently the head (and only) painter during our home remodel.  All that plus being a teacher and helping me with all the normal chores around the house and of course keeping up with our daughter, Heather, and starting the countdown on our next daughter, Mikayla (due 27th, October).

wjstix:

My wife's chief interest seems to be making a point of telling me how stupid what I'm doing (watching football or baseball, model railroading, bowling, etc.) is, and how stupid I am for doing it.  

 

 

Agreed! And we aren't even married Yet!!!  A week and a half to go!!!!

 Erin enjoys scrap booking, hanging out with her friends, Halloween, Watching cheesey horror movies, and her full time job of teaching kindergarten.
