1. Eating and drinking, and preparing for such: cooking, baking, toasting, stewing, brewing, buttering, snacking. Example: yesterday, the FB made spinach-sorrel soup, which she ate with feta and chopped parsley.
2. Crafting: knitting, needle-pointing (petit-point), wire-wrapping, bead-stringing. Example: the FB has finally completed pal LMC's birthday present, a necklace with freshwater pearls, as well as LMC's son's birthday present, a pair of earrings he can share with his girlfriend: baroque freshwater pearls with dangling labradorite briolettes.
3. Tasking: washing dishes, doing laundry, hand-washing, ironing, vacuuming, dusting. The FB hates this category and uses it as penance, voire flagellation.
4. Socializing: emailing, calling, texting. The FB has a busy social life that must be organized with military precision if she is to see even a fraction of the delightful people she knows.
5. Surfing: the FB's bookmarks number over 400, organized into such categories as: Travel, Information, News, Music, Fashion, Politics, Media, Crafts, Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, etc. The FB is remarkably well informed on various topics, most of which constitute the frighteningly Useless Body of Information that resides in her head and is good for very little apart from winning at Trivial Pursuit, a game she has not played in years, and astonishing friends with said useless information, much of which they would prefer not to know.
Regarding #2, the FB was inspired by jewelry designer Claire de Divonne, who makes this:
