Hobbies

Chad and I had an enlightening conversation last night. I learned that I don't have a hobby.

Chad enjoys pretty much any project that requires him to use his hands & engineering-analytically-inclined mind. I like to cook, read, bake bread, sweep the floors, swiffer the floors, clean up after the dogs, bathe the dogs, work in the yard, work out, organize things (especially alphabetically), do yoga, read food blogs, read food magazines, think about food, eat food & vacuum. I really enjoy using the vacuum!

Chad says those aren't hobbies, they are chores.

Here are some other activities I have tried in the past that I think fall into the hobby category: knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, random crafts............ I think it's been 5 minutes since I typed the word "crafts" & haven't been able to think of any other "hobby" activities that I have tried. So regarding the above activities, I find that I am not a creative person (I like math & science) and so I get annoyed quickly when I am not able to craft something original. It's too hard to think of something off the top of my head. I really need patterns & instructions, though often I start off without - and usually end up starting over multiple times. And then quit because I'm annoyed. I also find that if an activity involves me sitting mostly still - I get very antsy & must find another hobby to get to - like vacuuming. I think this is an inherited trait from my mom - she rarely sits down to watch TV/movie and when she does she has the newspaper, book or soduku to work on at the same time.

So with that said. I need help. I need a hobby. What should I do?
