What do you do...

for you? How do you express yourself and who you are? What are your passions? Sports, reading, community activities, cooking, music, school? I really surprised myself and am in the process of arranging piano lessons for myself with Megan's teacher. She's a great teacher and I've found myself itching to play better lately so I took the plunge. I played for years as a kid (9 - 17 years old) but never got very good. I played violin pretty well and I was always happiest when I was playing music. I played in the school orchestra (concert mistress 3 years), community orchestra, and for several shows. I also went to music camp for two weeks straight every summer for 5 or 6 years. I really miss it so I thought I'd give it a try again.

What makes you happy and enriches your life outside of parenting?

I blog. I get to meet other moms, discuss issues important to me, and be creative. Sometimes I get published. :P

I enjoy reading, creative writing, cross stitching, playing with my pastels, book club, my childbirth education business, my volunteer work with young women with breast cancer, my volunteer work with Birth Works.

I am passionate about sewing! I've sewn for years, I actually designed and sold girl's clothing for several years and made real money from it! I haven't done as much lately, and if I had to admit what I do purely for myself...it's my time on another website that I'm addicted to...it's a debate team and arguing back and forth intellegently gives me adult conversation and stimilates my brain when the kids are sucking my intellegence out!

I also try to work out regularly for my sanity!

I crochet, sew, scrapbook and read as much as I can. I don't always get to do them but I try.

I'm passionate about working out. I pretty much thrive on it. I like taking new classes and switching my workout around. I don't wanta be bored. I plan my day around my workouts. I also enjoy working in the yard. I'm now at the point when I walk out the door, I don't see any weeds to pull. Thank the Lord. I do think bugs got my raspberry bushes. :( I enjoy reading too. It's good for the mind.
