Game Shows

One of the most fun and lazy hobbies I can think of is game shows. They are rather addicting actually. While watching them, you get to challenge your family and friends, pretending like you are the one winning big prizes and trips, and test your knowledge of different random topics. You can see which topics you are best at, and find out which topics you are not so good at, but maybe thought you knew everything about. You can tell people you are better than them when you get a full set of questions or categories right, or sit there and blush when they stump you. No matter what, it's usually all in good fun and the humor and satisfaction you can get out of it is pretty cool. My favorites are Cash Cab, which is set in New York and unsuspecting cab riders get stunned by the surprise music and lights only to find out that they are on a game show that they play while they make their way to their destination. Jeopardy is my other favorite. You get to really test your knowledge and feel like you are sitting up there with the smartest people. You can challenge family to see who ends up with the most money, and feel proud of yourself when you answer lots of questions right. It's so much fun, and there are so many different game shows out, but the best ones, in my opinion, are the ones that have already been around for years and years.

Favorite Craft Store

One of my favorite craft stores is Michael's. It brings back memories from my childhood. I remember walking into that huge place, and the first thing I always noticed when I walked in was the smell of potpourri that was always lingering around the entrance. For me the best section in the whole store was the stationery section. Filled with different bordered papers, rubber stamps, stickers, envelopes, and letter paper, there were so many things you could do in that place. I loved to go in there with my grandma while she got her crafting things, and I would always wait to get to the paper section. Next came the yarn section, where I got to pick out a schene of yarn so I could practice knitting and crocheting. It was so much fun, and still is. I haven't been in there for a while. Maybe this year I'll get a scrapbooking kit and make everyone Christmas cards. Bring back memories and have fun without spending a ton of money.
