My children take up most of my life and fill it completely and happily. But apart from them, I love going to the gym, playing guitar, writing (screenplays) and poetry/songs, hanging out with friends, vino (a good Shiraz is my weakness) and going to the movies. I must always see all the major Oscar nom movies before the Oscars (I have done this since a teenager) I hate not having my own prediction, in order to have an accurate one, I must know what I am predicting. I did study acting professionally for a couple years then had my first bubba. This changed my view of the world and what was important to me. As a profession, I now work in the Optical Industry as an Optical Dispenser. Apart from that, my only other hobby (my husband would call it obsession) shoes. Pretty ones with heels, no heels, all colours all styles. I glaze over when I see shoes.
