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.

What Hobbies Do You Like To Do?

This blog is very very new, and I want to start building on the list of hobbies I discuss here. If anyone has any ideas for hobbies you like to do or would like to try, feel free to share them here, and feel free to think outside the box. I am looking for some very interesting things or things that nobody has thought of before. Whatever you like to do, whatever crafts you enjoy, or passtimes that help you enjoy life a little bit more, they are all welcome here.

Crossword Puzzles

Who said a hobby has to be something that others consider fantastic? A hobby can be something as simple as say, a crossword puzzle. Although if you really want to think about it, crossword puzzles can get pretty involved. You can get small ones, but there are also really difficult ones that take a week or more to finish and need a crossword puzzle dictionary to finish. Crossword puzzles are not only fun to do, but they challenge your mind and get you thinking as well. You can get your brain moving faster while passing the time and giving yourself something to do. You may even learn a little bit from crossword puzzles if you use the dictionary.

Book Club

If you reading is already one of your favorite hobbies or passtimes, why not take it to the next level and start a book club? You can do it online through a blog or a message board, or get a group of friends together once a week to just talk about the latest books or to talk about one book in particular. You can even break it down into chapters so that you can discuss portions of a book up to a certain point without anyone spoiling new parts or getting too far ahead. You can make your own book club list or you can pull books from the best seller list. Anything goes with your book club. The only rules are the ones you and your friends set, and you can enrich and expand your mind while doing something that you really enjoy.
