Hmm

Somedays, I have nothing exciting to say. Maybe I need a new hobby.

Can I count laundry as a hobby?

One thing I miss in Boston is it feels like I have no friends who aren't drinking buddies. I quite enjoy heading out to the pub or whatever, but I used to have friends who didn't drink as well as friends who did. We would go for coffee and lunch and hiking and dinner. Part of the problem is hanging out with only chemists and specifically male chemists. There is this feeling that if you only have 4 hours of the week not in the lab or sleeping (I wish I was kidding) you better cram as much fun as possible in it.

Anyhow, I think I'll take a couple hours off this afternoon to watch some of the Boston Marathon.
Edit to add pics from the Boston Marathon

It's the 110th Boston Marathon

Laundry as a hobby? Wow, you're such a wild woman, bob!

I think I need to have a party. Your mention of drinking buddies has inspired me.

Hey, is anybody submitting recipes for your idea? I have a few, but don't want to be the only one. I even took a pic this weekend of one dish.

Right, I should bug people about recipes!

I think I will make the due date tommorrow, as it is still a holiday. So far I have Sonya, Zombie, Swami, Seana Arkie, Puffy and I think that's it. Several others have promised. I'll post a large snarky remminder tommorrow.

*raises hand*

can I be your non drinking buddy?

DH and I are still searching for that couple we can hang out with that we both like. (No not swinging) We want a couple to go to movies with but also like to hop on out to the vineyards or take a vacation with.

Laundry is not a hobby unless you like to do it, in which case come on over. We can hang out in non-drinking ways and I'll even let you do my laundry.

Zombs, I'd love to be your non drinking buddy. However, one of my favorite games to play with pregnant women is to poor a lovely cold crisp glass of wine on warm summer's evenings and savour it in front them with lots of lip smacking and "mmmmm, isn't this good?" Sound like fun?

Swami, I don't actually like laundry, but I do it every Sunday and it's nice to get it done, so it's kind of a hobby.

I can't believe that you people in Boston had off today. For a stinking marathon?
Okay, so it's for patriots but still.

Well, I'm still at work, so not everyone got the day off. I did get to sitdown on the train though!
