Take up photography ... got a digital camera? Take nature pics. Delete them if you dont like them. Do you want a sit-at-home hobbie, or a go-out-and-do hobbie (or is it hobby ... I can never remember how to spell that word!! )?
well I do the gardening , reading, scrapbooking and yes pictures . Was looking ideas for something new my daughter is on vacation for 2 weeks with grandparents I am just having empty nest I guess.
Good Lord Woman! Go do grown up things! :lol: See a movie you wouldn't take her to. Go out to lunch and order a fru-fru drink. Drive down to the beach just to pick up seashells. I'm sure you can think of something!
I know its sad shes gone for 2 weeks I can not stop thinking about her and I know shes safe and having a good time.She just left monday .I am going to do the drink thing tonight I have some gals coming over we are gonna play catch up on some gossip lol
That's called being a parent, and if you didn't miss her terribly, I'd wonder what was wrong with you.... Have fun with your girlfriends tonight though!

Cake decorating Crochet Woodworking Decopauge (sp) Decorating birdhouses Baking Hiking Bird Watching Sewing Organic Gardening Myspace Decorative dog clipping Collecting Autographs Writing Poetry Writing Flash Fiction Photoshopping digital photos Digital Scrapbooking Making greeting cards with scrapbook stuff Upholstery Metalworking
Call the JC Council on Aging and see if they need help delivering meals-on-wheels. You can simply drop off the meal, or better yet, this is the rare human contact many of the home-bound have. Stop in and talk for 15 minutes with a home-bound senior.
Reading, writing (fiction, non-fiction, greeting cards), stained glass, try a new type of exercise (yoga's a lot harder than it looks!), take a class at a local college (I'd love to take an American History class or Pathophysiology), teach a class in something that you are good at...we have women at my church who weave baskets, knit, make greeting cards or scrap-book, and they've taught the rest of us some of their skills... I like to do needlepoint, but the kits are kind of rare, so they're a little pricey. My parents are each taking music lessons: Dad/violin, Mom/piano. Have fun choosing!
Walking around the mall Hiking around the lake Bike riding Bowling Yeah, ok. I got nothing for just two weeks. Sorry
I had dinner with 2 girl friends tonight. kept my mine off my baby . I talked to her shes having a ball so I figured I'll just miss her and be happy thats shes having fun.The sad thing is shes not missing me as much, I can tell lol .
That is typical of kids the first few days, she will be missing you soon - ah, gotta love being a mama. While she is gone - get you a good big book, Stephen King's The Stand comes to mind or something similar, it will definitely take your mind off missing your daughter and be done by the time she comes home. My DH says when i get into a good book, the house would fall down and i would never notice:lol:
LMAO - don't think that is one a mom with her baby away for 2 weeks would want to read:lol: So glad to see ya back Snuffle, missed ya:-D
Long book, good read (slow start but once you get the hook, your in for the whole thing!): Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
