So, I decided I need a new hobby. Or at least feel like I do.  I've been watching Netflix a lot recently....and two of the movies/shows had something about scrapbooking on it.  When I think about it tho...I don't really know what I could do.  I like to paint, which I've done a lot of in the last year.  I like to draw, play the keyboard (or learn how to better).  I like to take pictures, of course.  But I always feel like I'm missing out on some creative opportunity.  But at the same time I never bring my camera anywhere.  Before I moved my laptop setup in the dining room, I started keeping my camera out at arm's reach...which really seemed to help.  I no longer had to take the time to take it out of the case.  But I had a couple of photo shoots recently and in the case it is again....if I could ever keep this table clean I could have somewhere to set the camera again.

Maybe I just need to have a little fun.  Or remind myself that I do have other things I can do, and go do them.  I've *always" wanted to go walk around town and take pics...but just haven't yet. Maybe I'm just bored because I haven't really had much to do since student teaching finished. 

Oh, I did do some Black Friday shopping.  I wound up staying up on Thanksgiving day....Left for walmart around 5am, went to K-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Big Lots, and Best Buy.  I spent 6 hours shopping!  I had a blast.  I usually don't like shopping, and I didn't really get a lot of stuff, but had fun browsing.  I even got so sit in my car and watch the sun rise...so it was a pretty cool day.

I recently renewed my passion for candles...I know lol, I know....
When I was a teenager I had tons all over my room.  I loved to just light them all and read a book or listen to music.   That brings back memories...

later
