Muscles, Mimosas, and Misery

A few months ago I posted about trying to find a hobby.  I honestly haven't made much progress on that.  I thought this week with my time off would be a good time to really start exploring some of those things.  I decided to start by reviewing the original list and updating it/narrowing it down some.  The original post and list can be found here . After reviewing it, I have narrowed it down further from 25 to 10. I have also made some notes on a few of them. Archery - I like the idea of this, but I think it is a really expensive hobby.  I'm leaving it on the list for now, but I don't know if it will ever happen. Board Games/Gaming - I'm combining this one with Entertaining, because for me these two go together.  I think I will try to start up a monthly game night.  People can come over to our place and we will play games and hang out.  Dancing - I could start belly dancing again.  Lessons are still ongoing. Hiking-Yes, I miss hikin...

I had clear intentions for this post, but first I'm going to have a ramble session.  I was reading my bio and realized it said I had recently turned 30, and then I realized this blog was a bit on the older side.  Which led me to realize that I'm actually 31.  I had to get out a calculator and subtract my birth year from the current year to fully realize this.  I've been telling everyone I'm 30 and I think I've put that on a few important applications.  I honestly thought I was still 30.  Does this happen to everyone as you get older?  Do you just randomly forget how old you are?  What a strange thing... Today marks day four of my vacation.  I have had lots of time to rest and think.  I typed something for myself yesterday that really resonated with me.  I hope it marks a shift in my attitudes and perspective.  "I want to work out because I love my body, not because I hate it."  I hope I can make this true.  Along wi...

Happy Independence Day Everyone!  I know I'm 2 days early for that, but I probably won't blog on the 4th.  To celebrate: Picture taken from: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/588543-america-fuck-yeah  On a related note, I want someone to run a Dungeons and Dragons game and let me play this as my character!  Okay, moving on..... The last few months have been crazy.  My grandma passed away, which resulted in a large family get together.  I live in the south, so this is what happens for every wedding and funeral.  You meet cousins, aunts, and uncles that you forgot you had.  As part of the family get together, my brother and his family flew back stateside.  He is stationed in Japan.  After visiting with them I got super excited about Japan again.  I have always wanted to go, but it just hasn't worked out.  Well, my husband and I decided that it was now or never.  We have a free place to stay and someone who can show us...
