I spend nearly all of my free time with my family. As a matter of fact, since we work together, Kirk and I spend 24 hours a day together. The majority of my non-work time is spent with Elliot. He's the best thing that's ever happened to us!
My personal goal is to spend more time finding my own interests.
So far, I find I like planting flowers. Keeping them alive is another story. I have a yard full of dead plants.
I've also been doing a LOT of painting. Not cool artistic painting...just painting my house. Painting indoors is fun. Painting outdoors is not.
I do enjoy the outdoors in general. Whenever I'm stressed, I like to just go outside. I don't really have to walk, hike, or go anywhere special. It's just calming to sit in the sun.
I really used to enjoy writing in my journal. I kept one for nearly 15 years, but somehow I ended up writing less and less until one day it just sort of stopped. Kind of a pity.
Something I have picked up again is photography. Again, not on a professional level or anything. I've just always sort of enjoyed it. Elliot provides inspiration to pick up the camera though.
My sister's band Resignation .
I snagged this photo from her. Not sure if they'll use it or not, but I liked it and assume she won't come after her sister for copyright infringement.
Otherwise, I've always had a love of classical music, particularly movie scores. I'm also a fan of electronica/techno/dance...kind of takes me back to my clubbing days.
I'm having a hard time with TV right now. Nothing good ever seems to be on. I end up watching crappy reality TV.
Instead, I've been catching up on all the HBO original series that I missed out on. I just finished The Sopranos, and really loved Six Feet Under.
