We watched our last 24 together last night and said our goodbyes. We got 6 whole days to pack up everything, it really was a crazy week. I know it's only 6 weeks but that doesn't change how much I miss him, but I know it's something I got get use to. So I was wondering what everyone does to pass the time. I see a lot of "just stay busy" comments, but what are some of the hobbies y'all like to do??

I like scraping booking when my DF is gone, because then I get to go through and look at all our pictures as well as keeping busy making a project or something for him :)

when dh was at bootcamp i worked out alot. i studied alot more too because i was in school. if you aren't in school go to a learning center type thing and take a class that interests you

Since I'm currently still in school I'm on the yearbook comittee, vp of my senior class, school senate, and also in the prom comittee. That alone keeps me busy though as for hobbies, I do photography, play video games, and hang out with friends a whole lot. On top of all that I have school work so I guess that what I'm saying is that keeping urself busy does kinda help in my opinion.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking of really learning how to cook. I would love to learn how to make a really good steak or maybe cheesecake, just some stuff to plump dh since he's only making weight by a pound.:hehe

I am taking a Pilates class right now. I'm really loving it, it makes me feel good. Scrapbooking is an amazing idea. You'll never get bored with that one. If you're in school, that should take up a good chunk of your time. Maybe get a job you think you might enjoy, go out with friends, collect things, make lots of care packages for DB...anything really. Take a road trip to somewhere cool.

When mine went off to bootcamp I crochetted an afghan to give him when he got back. He tells me that he sleeps with it on his rack.

I also knit, attend classes (I'm in college) and intern.
