[speaker001:] okay um we're guess we're supposed to talk about things we do in our spare time um
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I basically read books
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] what I do sometimes when everybody's off gone to bed my kids are in bed my husband in bed I just every once in a while I'll just stay up and finish a book that I'm I usually have about three books that I'm going on I'll work on one for a little bit you know and then on the next one but that's kind of
[speaker002:] well that's pretty impressive to have three books going
[speaker001:] not always just sometimes
[speaker002:] oh yeah and and what kind of books do you read
[speaker001:] um just really different ones um I had one that I was reading on um raising your children and another one on a on a biography and another one on a um um like a crime story you know a truth crime story
[speaker002:] oh yeah oh do you like those detective stories
[speaker001:] yeah but it this this is a true one it was this seemed a little different so I was reading that one last night
[speaker002:] oh well that's interesting I I actually like to read also but I usually fall into one of two categories either true science fiction or fantasy on one hand or highly technical
[speaker001:] yeah its like my husband
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] kind of one or the other
[speaker001:] you must uh work for TI yeah my husband does too
[speaker002:] I I do yes yeah and I'm a computer scientist
[speaker001:] yeah it gets
[speaker002:] but I have a lot of other hobbies I I well yeah I I I'm kind of um
[speaker001:] uh-huh really
[speaker002:] I I guess what you'd call it a project person yeah and I love I like I have a shop and
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] when things break around the house I always try and fix them myself and so hobby it's it's it's its funny uh from the one stand point it's work but it's a hobby too that that I enjoy to do to find broken
[speaker001:] yeah yeah like what kinds of things do you fix
[speaker002:] well essentially anything you'd find in a house uh a a stove or an oven or a broken piece of porcelain or uh chipped tile on the floor I mean just anything
[speaker001:] oh and you have a shop
[speaker002:] well it's it's not anything elaborate it's just a work bench with a gazillion tools
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but enough that again for anything in the house I can probably
[speaker001:] yeah you can fix just about everything and anything
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] well that's great
[speaker002:] and in the car I guess the car too
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] so that's I I think I would probably consider that a hobby although sometimes it gets to be excessive
[speaker001:] yeah that's that's pretty much like my husband he's he's pretty uh mobile in that area too he he works on the cars we barely take them in
[speaker002:] yeah I
[speaker001:] he works on irons irons and all those TV's and stuff too we rarely have to take those things in too
[speaker002:] right yeah I I think it it it it not only can it be fun but it can certainly help your finances
[speaker001:] oh yeah yeah definitely
[speaker002:] so do you have any artistic um I wanna I guess I wanna say creative or artistic hobbies
[speaker001:] um gosh not really I mean I during Christmas I work on you know like um holiday sweat shirts and those kinds of things but
[speaker002:] oh yeah well that's good
[speaker001:] but um not really
[speaker002:] yeah well I don't necessarily either I can plink out a song or two on a piano and I can
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] um I I don't necessarily draw or do any of that kind of art I guess graphics arts is that what that would be called it I can't like do any of that but sweat shirts is certainly impressive
[speaker001:] yeah yeah uh-huh um I belong to this organization for um with if you have preschool children you know
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh every once and a while they'll have a a craft um session for the moms
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] and those are really neat and we learned to do the um transfer pictures on the sweatshirts
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] transfer photos and um those are really neat so we learn different crafts like that um
[speaker002:] uh-huh I see well that's neat that's a I guess I consider that a hobby do you do you cook for a hobby or do you
[speaker001:] yeah no I cook dinner and its not I don't consider it a hobby but um
[speaker002:] do you  that's something you  I understand that
[speaker001:] you know I no I'm not a real elaborate cook or anything like that unfortunately I like to bake off and on and usually once a week I'll bake something but its not
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] anything elaborate you know at least I don't think it is
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] but I think that still borders on hobby
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] probably the other thing I do which I'm sure it'll sound horrible to you but is I program for fun on my computer
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so I'll I have little projects little computer projects going on that I consider hobbies
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] but drive my wife crazy
[speaker001:] oh well good you have a computer at home
[speaker002:] I do yes
[speaker001:] oh good yeah
[speaker002:] in fact there's actually several of them here right now not not all of them being mine
[speaker001:] oh really wow then you are busy
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] wow that's really good
[speaker002:] so uh I wonder if you you could construe raising children as being a hobby
[speaker001:] well you know one of the books that I did read that I was reading and I stopped because it's so its the book is so detailed and you have to sometimes I have to go back and read the page over again because I didn't quite get it all
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh it is so detailed
