    I love to read!  I enjoy doing crossword puzzles and working out (jumping rope is aerobic exercise of choice).  I like bicycling, too. 
     
    I like teddy bears and have a few (maybe a dozen).  I prefer unique ones.   I also love Tweety Bird and have a few things with him on them (nightshirt, mousepad, coffee mug).

    I LOVE to read. I also collect Disney figurines and artwork. I love puzzles. I'm a huge movie buff/addict. I'm a music freak. I have more cd's and dvds then the law should allow. Same with books. I have boxes of books in a storage in addition to the full bookcase at home and the two closets filled with tupperware containers of books.

    Love to read and do crosswords, too.  My favorites are the crypto-quotes  - I just bought a whole book of them at Wal-Mart. [:D] Over the years I've amassed quite a collection of tablecloths/napkins, goblets etc. And I've been collecting those  Fenton glass fruits from Lenox.

    I read a lot (two books at a time more or less constantly). And, another crossword fan here - I do the Sunday Globe puzzle but have yet to get the whole thing solved without peeking. I am also a really bad, slow, and impatient knitter. [:D]
