When my husband and I started dating one of the questions he asked was "What do you do for fun?" I dread this question any time someone asks. Seems unusual, doesn't it? What I enjoy doing should be one of the things I enjoy talking about most in life, yet instead I have no clue. Though, I could argue that talking is my current hobby, so I am often involved in this activity...I doubt that will cover my quest.
To be a successful and acceptable hobby I have a few requirements:
1) Not too expensive--none of this learning how to bake with truffles and lots of saffron as I all too quickly drain our law student/part time income
2) Causes more relaxation than frustration. Frustration may happen occasionally as I learn new things, but my goal is not to be cranky pants after "hobby time".
3) Doesn't involve me talking much to lover boy so he can get some "brain dead" time.
Okay, that was a couple--I may add to this as time continues.
The purpose of this blog is for my own use--over the next several months I will use this as my virtual journal of hobbies. At the end of this venture I will, hopefully, have found enjoyable hobbies that are inexpensive and keep me, somewhat, out of my husband's hair for a few hours a week. As my brain moves at about 90 mph and I have the attention span of a two year old, I need some written record of what I thought of each of my tried hobbies.
First up: Painting (not as skilled painting as you are thinking). I'll keep me updated in a few days.
