Possible ways to fall in love with my staying-in life
I was explaining to Bestie Amanda last night my “In Limbo” post, and she had a great amendment – “It’s like a limbo between feeling like you want to go out and that it’s sooo much fun, but then once you’re out, not really enjoying yourself as much as you remember you once did.” Precisely. I should just have her write my blog for me.
Anywho, a number of you have related to me, either in conversation or within the comments, about feeling the same way now or at one time. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one, and this too, shall pass. Since writing it, I’ve thought about some ways in which I can possibly fall in love with my staying-in life:
- Yoga - I want to make it a goal to continue to go to the class I’ve been attending on Mondays. I like having something to look forward to on the usually dreaded start to the work week.
- Hobby Crafts – I’ve been intrigued by the blog ladies I know who are making greeting cards. I think it’s a great idea since those little devils are like $5 a piece these days. Also, one of my good girl friends swears by scrapbooking and does it every Sunday. Seems a bit more for the older crowd, but I’ve got 3,000 plus pics that could really use some printing and organizing. I’ve also always wanted to learn how to sew (on my life list). I think it could do me some good to channel my creativity into an art form.
- Cooking Classes – I’m thinking sushi making (also on my life list) or a wine pairing class with my boyfriend and some friends.
- Lap Swimming – It doesn’t hurt to try, right? I could start with swallowing my pride with a purchase of one of those damn ugly hats and a pair of damn ugly goggles (Perhaps if they’re pink or LEOPARD print I’ll like them a little bit more).
Currently Feeling: Not too shabby after my St. Patty’s Day yesterday. Probably because I got out of bed 10 minutes before I had to be at work. ALL the extra sleep I can squeeze out counts!
Currently Anticipating: Catching up on some sleep and room cleaning tonight. Oh, and a possible pizza and champagne party later to celebrate Vanessa’s last test of the quarter.
Currently Needing: To focus a bit more time on reading. I’m going too slow Joe.
What I want to accomplish in 2009
I’m all about goals – a tidy little list that I can review and check off. Plans and goals are the way of my life. So, I’ve decided to make a short little list, in addition to my long term Bucket List, of the things I want to specifically accomplish in 2009:
- Take a Spanish class
- Start my social media blog/resume site
- Buy a bike and ride to work at least a couple times this summer
- Get a “Live, Laugh, Love” tattoo on my foot
- Run in the 5K Fremont Oktoberfest BrewHaHa race
- Take a jewelry making class so I can learn to make some sweet, big dangley earrings and possibly open an Etsy shop
- Purchase my Seattle Zagat quide and start checking off a few of those restaurants!
- Figure out the school I want to go to for grad school for a Masters in Digital Media/Social Media, and apply by the end of the year
I think that’s a pretty great list! Onward and upward toward living life to my FULLEST!
