Opal Anchel's (Arianna) got a secret passion: She's addicted to jigsaw puzzles! When she wants to unwind after a long day at work, there's nothing she likes better than lighting a few candles, listening to classical music, and sitting down to her latest 1,000-peice challenge. "I pretty much always have one going." Anchel offers, noting that her pastime has taken over the dining room table. "It's almost like meditation. I sit down and start working with my little pieces, and three hours later I'll look up and not have realized so much time has passed." Now and expert, Anchel has the art of doing jigsaw puzzles down to a science! "You do the frame first, and then you start working on areas with certain color patterns." She advises. And while Anchel doesn't mind doing a puzzle with a friend, said friend had better stick to his or her own side. "I couldn't handle someone putting in a piece where I'm working. I'd be like 'This is my work area! Nobody gets near it. Stay on your side!'" The only negative to this relaxing hobby is where to store the finished product. "When I'm done, I leave them on a board and stack them up - I don't know what else to do!" she says, exasperated. "After working so hard on them, I don't have the heart to break them apart."
