    Because we all spend our time working, spending time with the spouse, and studying, what hobbies do you want to restart when you are done?

    I am looking forward to being less stressed around my wife, learning another language, binge watching, ultimate Frisbee, etc

    I am really looking forward to reading fun books again. In the last 3 months since I passed my husband and I have been on a war path of decluttering our house and prepping it for sale. Once that is done and we move, hopefully in the next 6 months or so, I would just like to have a better routine that includes arts/crafts with the kids, reading for pleasure, and I may start playing pool on a league again. Not sure about that one though. Those turn into late nights that I do not like, but it was so much fun.

    traveling and just enjoying life in general. Every time I go out and do something “fun” I feel guilty that I'm not at home studying! I also want to catch up on my fictional reading 🙂

    I've been thinking about this.

    I always wanted to learn some instrument, and I figured the passing bonus will get me a new guitar and register for lessons

    Besides trying to make up time lost with my 3 year old girl…I miss bowling league, crocheting, painting, re-doing furniture and watching pointless TV & movies.

    I've picked up road cycling. I did 2.5K miles last year – which was an abbreviated year as I passed FAR in May – and want to push over 3K this year. I'm also thinking about becoming a pilot (the actual big plane kind).

    Do you ever repaint furniture so that it matches your room? I love it. I always like my furniture a specific style, but then I like pastel colors, but it's not easy to find pastel colored furniture… So I just spend like a weekend DIY!

    I had to try and remember what hobbies I might have had. Then I remembered the bathroom that I have been slowly remodeling over the last few years, and the yard work that has been neglected, and the mess in the garage, and then I realized I still don't have time for hobbies.

    well… not hobbies exactly but sleeping, laundry, cleaning up the house,

    hobbywise, I'll be able to go back to playing tennis more regularly, at least until I get a job! lol
