Bored. What Do You Do For A Hobby?

Guess who is off for a google moment

I've found some, now I just need to buy some nice pens. I love this idea.

I even have a book into which I can paste them when I finish.

I love to research things and then pick apart the studies. Ummm.....must be the nerd side of me coming out. :eek:

I love target shooting (yes with guns!) But I wouldn't recommend it to those of us who may have particularly heightened startle response... it used to affect my shooting accuracy quite a bit, but I'm a lot less jumpy now than I was a year ago. A successful shoot is a great way to blow off steam and find my calm. :geek:

Trying out archery on Saturday.

Please let us know how it goes, I'm excited for you. What gear did you end up deciding on, or did I miss that post?

Sometimes I just color

I purchase a book for women that had inspirational quotes, blank pages for journaling or drawing, and pictures you could color in. I bought this small little container that had mini pencils, crayons, and pastels. I loved how calming it can be.

The hygienist at my dentists office told me her father was falling into dementia. They recommended coloring books but her mother just couldn't do that for him because she felt it was demeaning. I too mentioned the more adult coloring books they have at Michael's and other places. That way she wouldn't feel like she was being demeaning to him and he wouldn't think that during his lucid moments.

I love to research things

I love researching and verifying things too. I can't remember a time I didn't do this. Especially now with internet access.

My father in law gave me a really difficult present to find for him for Christmas(he didn't mean it to be but it ended up being that way). I actually get a rush out of searching. Especially if I find what I'm looking for!

I started a research binder. I print out all the studies I read that I find useful and organize them in a binder. I plan on going through them all and highlighting and making notes. Haven't gotten there yet.

It's a drop in class... they provide the equipment. I'm hoping they have a recurve. I think that's what I'd like to shoot.

feed the squirrels or ducks

I used to love doing that when I was little. That sounds like a great way to get out of the house now.

Right on. I named mine 'Vera'. (Kudos to anybody who gets the geeky reference) ;)

I read but, lately I haven't been able to hold my concentration for any length of time. I love to write. I write mostly essays and poetry and sometimes short stories. I'm teaching myself French. I used to take a French class in school years ago. I love the language. And I'm pretty much fascinated by almost all things French. But, then I'm fascinated by languages and cultures in general. It's just French.. I'm kind of really intrigued by. I also, love to take pictures. And I like to do a little genealogy. My mind is almost always going and I get restless pretty easily. So, my therapist wants me to really "cultivate my passions".

It was fun. Definitely something I'd like to do again, maybe even get my own equipment. Just enough difficulty to keep my interested and something I can do by myself whenever I want to if I got a membership.
