Poll: What do you wish.....
I often think that if I had more time - there are SO many things that I want to know more about/understand/have the time to study - or a hobbies I would like to take up.
So, my lame-o poll is this: If you had more time in each day, what would you do???
Re: Poll: What do you wish.....
I would love to be more financially savvy. I know absolutely nothing about investing, only that money from each paycheck goes into my retirement.
I would love to learn more about medicine - I was always a science dork, and just find learning about our bodies really amazing.
As for a hobby, I would love to find time to scrapbook. I have so many pictures, but never do anything with them. I would also love to have the time to do some volunteer work somewhere.
sounds so stupid but:
1 - work out more
and
2 - understand our government more so I can be a more educated voter - I read up on it but never think I'm as well informed/knowledgeable about it as I could be.
There's probably more but I'm just too tired this morning, ha.
I want to take time for me more. I know this sound kind of selfish but I am always doing and doing for other (I do not regret don't get me wrong). I never usually take time for me. I will buy others things when I know I am in desparate need of something. My mom did it and so I guess it was passed to me..lol
I would love to learn more about the gov't so I could be more informed. My husband is really smart in this area.
I wish I had more time to learn about wines and coffee.
I would like to know more about our government too, and I wish I knew more about our current candidates, I am taking every chance I can to read about them, but I wish I knew what was true and what is not.
I wish I had more time for all my friends.
I wish I had more time to stamp and make cards and build a small business from it.
hmmmm...
I would love to have time to make more elaborate meals. I love to cook but don't always feel like hunting for exotic ingredients and spending a day cooking.
I also want to volunteer more. It has been on my mind a lot lately. I feel happiest when I'm helping others. Also, there have been many things happen this week that make me feel it is the right thing for me.
ohh...yes...i did forget about volunteering...
i wish i could find the emotional strength i would need to work with animals. i honestly don't think i could handle it very well at all. i get teary watching animal police shows, and i break down and cry when i go to shelters....i just think i would get to emotionally attached and that it would be an issue for me...
and can i just tell you how sick i am of seeing dead dogs on the interstate! yesterday morning, there was, what looked like, a pit bull puppy...a tiny thing...and it just breaks my heart...i honestly have issues....
I would love to learn how to smock/sew and scrapbook so that I can make things for AC and save money.
I would also like to take Spanish classes---I took 3 years of it in high school and 1 semester my freshman year of college, but dont remember a lick of it and there are SO many ESLs in the schools now and they are so hard to communicate with.
Since I have been home, I have found it SO much easier to keep the house clean, cook, etc...so I wish there were more hours after the working day and more energy for me so that I can keep these things up when I go back to work!
I wish I had more time to scrapbook and put together albums for Hannah!
You'd be ashamed of me- I only have ONE album and it is her snapshots from birth-2 months old.
I seriously have some catching up to do.
I would like to know more about politics. It's never been something I've been interested in and with the election I've been (trying to be) more drawn to it. I was actually telling DH last night that whenever I go back to school I would like to take the most basic political science course as an elective just so I can learn the basics of politics.
As far as hobbies I would love to learn to sew, knit, and photography.
I wish I had time to learn to cook...that's one of my weaknesses...
I wish I had more time to work out too, Katie....
Of course, I wish I had more time to spend with DS and DH. I really want to figure out how to still be comfortable and maybe own my own business...there's so many places here that have a room made for their kids in the back of their business so they can spend more time with them.
Oh man...if only this were reality instead of a dream.
1. Workout without either a) cutting my time short, or b) feeling guilty for taking time away from schoolwork. I do workout now, but when I do Yoga, my brain is always clicking away about school. I never get to my happy zone.
2. Cook better dinners - not just stuff that only takes about 20 minutes to throw together
3. Take more pictures
4. Quilt
5. Relax and take 'me' time.
I wish I had A LOT more time, LOL.
I'd like to workout more. It's something that should be a priority, yet it's not. It seems that there's so many issues pressing that it gets put to the back burner.
My ultimate dream would be to volunteer. I feel like I have a lot to give and could really make a difference.
I really want to volunteer to teach people how to read. I've always been passionate about reading and it saddens me when I meet someone (as in like an adult) who doesn't know how. Can you imagine what your world would be like if you didn't know how to read?
Volunteering in general is a huge interest to me and I wish I had time to do it more.
As for hobbies I wish I had more time for sewing. I know how to do basic stuff but I wish I knew how to do more advanced things. I also wish I could find time to scrapbook...tons of pictures.
And photography interests me as well.
There is so many things I want to do..just wish there were more hours in the day
I really want to learn to be more finanically savvy. I also want to learn different languages, especially Spanish, Italian, and French.
I would also love to take some photography and art classes. I quit art in high school, but I was pretty good...I have won some awards.
