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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cooking Classes – I’m thinking sushi making (also on my life list) or a wine pairing class with my boyfriend and some friends.
  4. 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).
Possible updates coming soon on any or all of these activities...

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.

I've bought a ton of supplies to make greeting cards. I just need time and inspiration!

It seems to be the thing to do these days... I'm just afraid I'm going to go spend $200 at the craft store on card-making supplies. Just what I need - another thing to spend money on. ;)

Craft stores get me every time. I could spend hours (and hundreds of dollars) in there -- but once I've got my supplies, I get bored of the new hobby rather quickly. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to start knitting....
