I need something to do as a hobby. I like to read. I like to watch movies. I loooove to write (you don’t say, Elaine!). But I need a new hobby that’s not reading online baby forums, reading infertility\/baby\/mommy blogs*, looking at baby gear online. Plan B is over and it was all for nothing so now I need to move on if I am ever going to be truly happy.<\/p>\n
Also, this new hobby can’t be computer related. I want to write more but it’s too easy to start something and then get distracted by something shiny (Babycenter for example) and the next thing you know, Gene’s been out of town two weeks and I haven’t written 5 words. (Not that that ever happened. Repeatedly. Arrrrrgh).<\/p>\n
Gene and I have discussed this (although I didn’t have the heart to bring up the Plan B angle to him, he can probably guess) and some of our ideas are to walk the dogs more, play with the Wii, and try camping (in a cabin – no need to get crazy). I also want to investigate getting my Certified Payroll Professional certification (although if I’d been hired for the job I interviewed for earlier this year, they would have made that process a great deal cheaper) and maybe some kind of craft (knitting? is embroidery a craft?). I do not want a hobby where I get dirty or sweaty or have to talk in public (Gene suggested Toastmasters….eeesh). Hmmm. Meditation?<\/p>\n
