I was having lunch with a co-worker yesterday and she asked me "what do you like to do? Do you have any hobbies?" I searched and searched my head for answers, but I came up with nothing...and that really upset me.

You see, I moved to a small town with limited options for socialization. There's a bar, but I don't drink or dance, and it gets way too crowded in there (re: I hate getting bumped into by people and drink trays every 2 seconds). My job also takes up a lot of my time. I sleep in, so as soon as I'm up it's time to do a quick workout and go to work. I stand for 8 hours at work which wears me out, and then I'm usually home at 9 or 9:30pm when my roomate and I make late dinner, watch a movie/a tv show, and go to bed. The next day I do it all again. I have 1 or 2 days off a week when I can finally catch up on my grocery shopping, personal shopping, banking, and anything else I need to do.

I started wondering, when do I have the time to have a hobby? I just got a new car, and I'm kind of a car girl so I'll wash it once a week, but that's not really a hobby. I used to play hockey every winter, but I can't with my work schedule so I had to give it up. I have a guitar sitting in my room that I haven't been motivated to pick up since January.

I'm that boring person that eats, sleeps, and works. That's me. I hate thinking of it that way but it's true. Has anyone else fallen into this horrible circle? What did you do to get out of it?
