…and it’s starting to become a problem. I just keep wanting to try new things and experience new activities that I never get “really” good at any of them. I don’t think it’s a matter of stopping when things get hard or when I have to put some effort in. I really just think I have Hobby ADD and want to try everything I can.

Currently I enjoy quilting, photography, reading, archery, working out (yeah, it makes me feel good), guitar, volunteering at the humane society, drawing & painting, geocaching, hiking & camping, digital scrapbooking and baking. The whole home demolition/rebuilding thing is more of a necessity rather than a hobby but that takes up some time too.

Just for the random fun of it I’ve tried running, horseback riding and canning. Running was ok. Horseback riding was fun but too expensive to continue. And we may do a bigger production of canning this fall. I just tried freezer jam last year (it was fun, but kind of like cheating).

And yet with all that I find myself thinking I’d like to learn how to play piano. Which is crazy because I just started playing guitar again after not picking it up during college. And I’m really not that great at it, so I shouldn’t start another instrument. Besides, I’ve tried to play piano before (lessons in high school) and my hands just don’t want to do two separate things. I think it’s the same reason I could never play drums…brain cannot handle two different beats/activities from my hands.

And then I’m really starting to miss acting. I did some scouting for an adult acting/improv class around here and came up with one theatre group. Unfortunately adult acting classes aren’t that popular so there wasn’t enough interest to hold the class. Which could be a good thing I guess, even though I’m kind of bummed.

In conclusion, you know how some people have one or two hobbies that really define them? I am not one of those people, apparently it’s just a conglomeration of “Oh that sounds like fun, let me try it!”
