Filling My Time

So a little ramble today. I have a lot of hobbies. I like to bike ride, garden, read, costume, game, play musical instruments. I also like spending time with my family and learning new things. So why then, when I come home from work or find myself with free time on the weekend do I find myself not doing any of those things but instead, wondering what I should do, surfing the web or watching mindless tv (and I am not really even a big tv fan, except for "The Big Bang"). Why do I waste my precious time to myself not doing what I like or something productive.

I have a to do list at work to keep me focused and productive. Do I need a list of things do in my free time or is that weird? Or would I then develop a list of reasons to avoid my fun:

1. Too cold to ride the bike (I am a weather wimp, I like to ride in over 65 degree weather)
2. It is winter, I can't really garden right now.
3. I would love to play a game, Magic and D and D as solitare are no fun.
4. I am afraid to cut out and start sewing that costume because as much as I want a Star Trek costume, I don't want to screw up the expensive fabric.
5. I do want to brush up on my algebra, but I don't have a pencil.
6. I could sit down play my euphonium (if you don't know don't ask) or my harmonica but I might wake Anna from her nap.

So her I am right now avoiding my hobbies and interests on the internet, writing a blog post no one will read. But I did put become a better writer on my list of things to learn.

Maybe I'll just go work on my lists, I seem to get satisfaction from them.

Pretty pointless, I hope it didn't take you long to read this.
