And over a month later... I am still looking for that one brilliant hobby that keeps me entertained and energized for weeks on end.
6 hobbies I thought were "gonna be the one"
- Card making: I bought the supplies, read card making blogs, thought up many ideas for designs, made a total of 9 cards and quit. The pretty paper I bought is still mostly untouched.
- Cooking my way through a cookbook (Julie and Julia style): I have the books, couldn't pick the right one, tried a recipe for a curry that turned out a bit too spicy for my tastes, and quit.
- Scrapbooking: Now here is one that, through the years, has left me the owner of 3 or 4 unfinished scrapbooks. Well, none of them are really started either. Since I had the paper and supplies from the card making binge I decided I was finally going to accomplish putting together an entire, completed book of our honeymoon pictures. 1st step: order pictures from snapfish or shutterfly. hmmm.... I'm still on the 1st step :)
- Photography: a good camera (that I of course absolutely need to start this hobby) is a bit out of my price range. It would cost me a good year's worth of fun money... and do i really want to give up all that fun so that a year from now I can take a few pictures and move on the the next hobby idea?
- Gardening: This one started back in the spring, but as my garden wilts and dies (from a fungus in the soil that is apparently impossible to kill) I have of course given up and moved on.
- Blogging: This one makes me laugh a bit. I started this blog with the intentions of using it as an outpost for my thoughts on being a newlywed. It soon turned into ramblings about hobbies I wanted to pursue as my life before the ring was full of them, and now being a Mrs I seem to have lost them or left them on the way. As you can see... I didn't post for a whole month.
well... I'm off to think up my next idea... maybe something along the lines of cooking/ eating organically? Or maybe I'll actually order those pictures for my scrapbook.
any suggestions?
Your posts just made my day! The white writing was not so fun, but you seriously just made my day! I strongly encourage the scrapbooking, but you know me. If you get those pictures printed I will even come out to you with all my "stuff" and we can make a day of it and get that scrapbook done!!!!! It really is a fun thing to do with friends, and a nice stress releaver. You let me know. o and keep writing for pete's sake!
