A Hobby, A Hobby!

Ok, so....... I need a hobby.  I am interested in a variety of activities.  There is much I know I could do, really.  And i am blessed to have a some what flexible schedule that really would allow me to do some very decent things......  The only problem is, I suffer from TASOAG syndrome and AAC phobia.  It's very serious.  Sigh, I've been combating it and pushing through my disorders for years, but it's time I come to terms with it and share.  And in so doing, I hope to help others. 

Hi, my name is Kristi Merkley.  I am the mother of two sweet little girls.  The wife of a wonderful, hard working (aka hardly home) man, and a college graduate.  I have a full and happy life.  But I need and crave just a little more.  I see others enjoying this "more" of which I desire.  I want it too.  Sadly, I suffer from The Attention Span Of A Gnat and often suffer from a fear of Arts And Crafts. 

I know of many hobbies that really interest other stay at home homes, that hold their attention and add to their feeling of fulfillment.  I am still on a mission to find one or more that will work for ME!!!  I've thought of some that I would like, but am not sure if or how I could make them happen.  Perhaps I could tell you a bit about what I like and some of you could share any possible suggestions that come to your mind.  Here are my interests/parameters:

Looking for something(s) for:
-Alone time at home
-One hour (possibly) once a week - day time &/or evening
-Flexible - no major commitment
-FREE or super cheap
-Not too crafty in the traditional sense (it's just not me,no matter how I try or regardless of any brief waves of desire that may wash over me at times.  It never lasts)
-Social (I need at least something social)
-Physical would be nice
-Mentally stimulating - A MUST
-Something fun, &/or something meaningful

So far, I've thought of trying to form a club once a month with others to explore new things - social, out and about, variety.  I'd love to learn some dance moves, but not sure how I could do that....don't think I could do a dance class, but maybe some friends and a video?  I like to ride my bike...maybe I could fix it up and join or create a little bicycle club?  Find and join or create a book club?

So far everything I've come up with will a decent amount of work.  Sigh.  By the time I have some me time, I'm pretty much all worked out. : ( But I need a few things.  Something or several things that I can do alone at home, and some things to do out with others.

Ideas??

Much Appreciated!
