I am girl with many hobbies! I love movies, shopping, going to the beach/pool, reading (books and magazines), exercising, organizing, cooking and crafts. All of these hobbies I enjoy doing by myself. I love my husband and I love my friends, but having "me" time is something that I really cherish.
Movies-I have such a diverse group of movies that I enjoy. I love comedies such as "The Hangover" and "Superbad". I also love romantic movies like "The Notebook". I love grabbing a chick flick with the girls like "Sex and the City" or seeing something that I can't take my eyes off of the screen like "Slumdog Millionaire". My all time favorites are the 80's movies "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club".
Reading- I love reading!!! It is something that I have to make time for during the week. I have recently found the website http://www.goodreads.com/ to help log my books and find new ones to read. I like reading books from cover to cover while holding them in my hand. I like to see the progress I've made rather than reading on something digital. Some authors that I really like are Emily Griffin, Nicholas Sparks and Lauren Weisberger. Some books I recommend are, "The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes" by Diane Chamberlain and "The Glass Castle" by Jeannett Walls. I also enjoy my weekly People Magazine subscription. I get my fill of the weekly Hollywood gossip!
Exercising- I feel so lucky to live in Florida and be able to workout outside. I have a small group of girls from my work that run on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5:30am on A1A. It is a great time to catch up, vent and get/give advice. Plus, by the time I get to work I have already done my workout for the day and that is a great feeling. I also feel fortunate to have a gym in my complex. It has two small flat screen t.v.'s as well as weights and machines. I try to meet my trainer their at least once a week! He has helped me learn how to isolate my muscles and get a full body workout.
