I come home everyday, watch an hour of Gilmore Girls reruns (4:00-5:00), Rachael Ray's 30 minute meals (5:00-6:00), and Scrubs reruns (6:00-7:00). Then we usually watch whatever during prime time. I do laundry, and clean (sometimes), and as involved as we are in our church, we don't usually get to hang out during the week because we live kinda far away. SIGH.
What to do? Any suggestions? I've considered a lot of things, but have come up with nothing. I've thought about:
- Getting a part time job - this will not work because if you work evenings, you're working until at least 9:00 or 10:00, and if I am going to keep my day job (which means getting there at 6:00am), then there's no way in hades I'm working at night.
- Volunteering - this is definitely an option, but with what/whom or for whom? And how flexible would they be? Am I equipped enough to do something?
- Classic hobbies - knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, cooking, etc. All sound like great options, but there's a couple issues. A) These hobbies cost money - something we don't have, especially not any extra. B) I'm usually not super coordinated. C) I get bored very easily. D) All of these hobbies still include sitting on my rear or eating. Not good.
- Not-so-classic hobbies - ....can't really think of anything currently, but I'm sure more and more money would be involved, and/or far too much activity (did I mention I'm lazy?) Ugh.
- Going to school for something - once again, a definite possibility, but once again, MORE MONEY. Thinking about gaining more debt kinda makes me gag a little.
And there's my dilemma. HELP!

My vote is volunteering somewhere - perhaps you could do some after-school tutoring. Just depends on where you heart is I guess. I've thought of volunteering somewhere myself.
You know, I am struck by how much we have in common outside of our birthday. You can totally volunteer somewhere. I have every confidence that you possess some skills that someone would love to utilize for free. What kind of social programs does your area have? Usually non-profit places love volunteers and you can write it off as a charitable contribution on your taxes.
