Random things you love to do

[L.Jane]

I was wrapping a present for an engagement party and I forgot how much I love to wrap presents. Every year I look forward to holiday gift wraps that my charities do, just so I can gift wrap. What random things do you love to do?

Fun!

This is really random, and my house is pretty much a disaster area all of the time, but I love to organize my cans cupboard. I organize by item and by size and I just enjoy having that one cupboard being an organized oasis in a sea of chaos! I organize it at least once a week. It is the only organized cupboard in my house.

I'm sure that you all can go crazy with some armchair psychology on this one, but I really love to play whac-a-mole at the arcade. (Umm...pent up aggression, anyone?) No seriously, I love any sort of crazy beat-the-clock game like whacamole or tetris. I also looooove trivia games.

I also enjoy logic puzzles and reading about macroeconomics. In college, I would do extra homework in logic.

Say it with me, NERD!

I really love to cross things off my to do list. To the point where I will add things on after I've done them just to have the satisfaction of crossing them out. And I really like to organize stuff, not clean, but organize. Relatively OCD of me, I know, but it makes me happy!

After months of stepping on cheerios in my socks, I just got one of these for the highchair area, and I'm in love. Cora likes using it, too.

Also I really like making a mug of tea. Easy to see why cultures have entire ceremonies built around the ritual of preparing tea.

My random thing is that I love organizing my life via Excel spreadsheets I make budgets, lists, travel plans... you name it, I've got an Excel spreadsheet for it! I especially love color coding my lists.

This.

Decorate and plan for holidays--DH claims I cried when I saw the holiday section in Target last year. I've got 4 different Christmas events in the mix already. Speaking of holidays...when does that stuff start around here...

I also LOVE sitting down with a new issue of Southern Living. And cooking. And folding laundry. I used to love ironing, but J's dress shirts have killed that

Is it bad that the only thing I can think of right now is sleep?

I'm with you Pollyanna!

This is me too. I also like to step back and admire my work once I'm done. It makes me feel like I have my life under control. I've been know to dump fully organized drawers when I'm upset so I can sort and re-organize them.

Also, I love taking showers and washing my hair. I could do that 4x daily. Swimming and bathing and water in general make me very happy.

This, except not for my personal life, but at work. I had to do this spur-of-the-moment spreadsheet yesterday for the deans of the university. It was a breakdown of how many honors students were in each college here by class year from a mess of another spreadsheet that a work-study student helped create. Anyway, the point is that after the horrible day I had, making the spreadsheet put me in the zone and completely calmed me.

I also love coloring. A box of 64 crayons and my Cinderella coloring book is therapeutic. Oh, and if I could get my hands on some basic Legos, I would love doing that too.
