I do a lot -- too much, most likely. Am stretched too thin, in fact.
I am self-employed and have a full-time client and a few part-time clients. I take classes toward an MBA and just finished a certificate program in Mediation/Conflict Resolution. I am the president of a nonprofit organization that provides educational programs on cultural respect and world travel - it takes up a good portion of my free time. Until recently, I was on the board of directors for a women's SA/DV crisis line, but I stepped down because I simply couldn't dedicate any extra time to it. I am a hardcore gardener and am currently helping my husband with carpentry projects on weekends. I also ride my bicycle (road) long distances, usually with a group of my girlfriends; sometimes take yoga classes or run. My biggest passion is world exploration - I have been to more countries than I can count and planning one trip to the next is what keeps me motivated to work as hard as I do. And of course, I am a moderator here.
My absolute guiltiest leisure vice is watching a few shows on Comedy Central - South Park, Reno 911, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report. The most relaxing thing that I do is go for walks around our neighborhood (I love where we live) with my husband or my best friend, or sit on our patio with my husband around the fire pit. We used to love camping, but that was before we started putting every weekend into renovating our house and yard.
All in all, I'm very happy with my life, but just need about 4 more hours to each day.
