What do you guys typically do after work?

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

I unfortunatly dont have alot of free time after work.If I did I would suggest maybe going to the gym, taking a dance class, reading a book , the possibilites are so endless.

kittenheels · Coach

Right now I work pretty long hours and don't generally leave the office until 6:30 or 7:00 on a good day. So, I'm not home until around 7:00. I either stop at the gym on my way home (and get home at 8:00).

But, if I were to have a job where I could leave at 5:00 or 5:30 every day, I would try to join a book group or a volunteer organization. I would love to read more, try new recipes, etc!

Bastet · Kate Spade

Depends. I have aikido lessons Monday and Wednesday. I love cooking, so Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually go home and play computer games

or cook something fun. Fridays I try to go out with friends after work or cook something really ambitious if no one is doing anything.

alagirl · Kenneth Cole

I go to the gym to work out, or if the weather is nice, I might go for a run outside at a little park nearby.
I usually try to do some chores during the week, so that on the weekends I have more free time. I also like to sew, so I usually have some sort of project going on that I work on too. To wind down before bed I usually read for a few minutes.

Kelly · Hermes

I just play around doing normal things, like cooking, cleaning, homework, relaxing, etc. I used to get dinner with friends and spend a couple hours with them every evening, but the past few months everyone has been harder to get together so I spend a lot more time at home alone now.

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I'm home by 4:30, so sometimes I stop somewhere and shop/browse/return things before I go home. The rest is all basically "hang out" activities. Play my brothers's Wii, read mags, cuddle with my dog, watch TV shows I've recorded. After dinner I always walk the dog, then after that I usually watch TV or movies.

Lilykind · Hermes

I hate living in LA sometimes. Now I have to leave the office at 7ish PM to avoid traffic and I don't get home until 7:30 - 8:00. I usually work out, cook dinner, watch TV and surf the net before going to bed.

If I had more time, I'd probably take more gym classes or dance lessons. I was big on ballroom and folk dancing in college so I'd love to get back into it. I also explored shopping neighborhoods a lot when I got off work earlier, since the boutiques I liked always close by 7.

Sevilla · BCBG

Right now I've gotten pretty used to coming home from work around 6:30, taking my bulldog out for a walk, cleaning up a bit, and then settling down to study for the GRE and/or hang with FH.

I've really been wanting to start doing some new things after work, and I think that after I take the GRE on the 26th I'm going to start looking into taking some classes... either photography, calligraphy, or interior design. I also really enjoy going to night lectures at the university. I haven't been to any in a while, but they have some amazing speakers on really interesting topics that keep my mind energized, especially after certain days at work when my brain feels numb. I really need to start going to those again!

wicked · Coach

I am glad you posted this question, 'cause i'm trying to make an effort to not go straight home after work. I get out at 3:30. Today I went out to a twilight (4:20) movie with some friends. I also like to meet people for coffee/tea or do errands.

shopgirl82 · Chanel

my schedule varies, but typically i come home, work out, read a bit in the tub, cook dinner, surf the web while drinking a glass of wine, waiting for my bf to come home which is usually later. i think it's perfect for me because i'm a bit productive, but i still get "me" time before my bf comes home. we he gets home we usually spend the rest of the evening together watching t.v or what have you.

sometimes if i get home early, i'll shop the neighborhood boutiques or do happy hour with my friends.

i try to do grocery shopping/Target, etc... with my bf so that he'll pay! so sometimes we do that after he gets home.

my schedule is pretty unpredictable, so i really can't take a class or anything.

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I get home between 6 and 7, usually. I get home and clean up a bit (clean my lunch dishes, unload dishwasher, etc). I fix dinner and go to the gym. I usually watch some tv, take a shower and it's time for bed. I wish I had more time.

halleybird · Hermes

I get home at different times each day, but I check out ST, read, play with my dogs. I also take pretty regular naps.

dangergirl · Kate Spade

at the moment, all i seem to do is eat, sleep, internet/tv and work on essays/assignments. for some reason, me and the bf end up going to the supermarket a few times a week - we never seem to get everything we need in one trip

NCshopper · Hermes

I usually get home around 6 and most nights, I usually just come home, play around on the computer, do a workout dvd or something, eat dinner, putz around the house, etc. We've been going out a bit more now too, which is good. We'll do trivia night at a bar downtown on Tuesdays and then we'll go to our neighborhood bar about once a week to watch a hockey or basketball game. I like going out every few days, but I'm such a home-body by nature that I like to just come home and be done with my day. I'll do a bit more yard work once daylight savings is here and the weather is a bit warmer.

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

Well, sometimes I will run and check our POBox, or stop by one of my thrift stores around the corner from my job. BUT! If I go straight home, it's usually TV, reading, or exercising. Joe and I may go out to eat dinner, but that's pretty much it. If I go straight home, I'm there a little after 5:00.

jacks435 · Kenneth Cole

I rarely go straight home -- either I work out, go to French class, or get dinner/drinks with friends. Or shop :)

janey831 · Kate Spade

I get off of work at 5, but don't get home until about 6. I usually make dinner, take my dog for a walk--weather permitting, run some errands, grocery shop (i like how there are less crowds during the week), watch tv or read, sleep.
