Did anyone start up a hobby that they used to do to help keep your mind off things?

For me, I started sewing purses, totes, and doing abstract paintings for people. I think I am going to start selling this stuff when I can and finally make some cash... often times I am too generous and give them away.

I feel better when I do this stuff.

I haven't yet, but I've always wanted to start running. Ever since Monday when we found out, I just have this like urge to start running and just keep running. Like, run it out or something.

I do enjoy photography and I might pull out my camera and start taking pictures again.

OH I love photography! Once I am done with this MBA (tomorrow)... I might conjure up the confidence to take a class for the heck of it. I have the artistic eye but I want the nice SLR camera to go with the eye. Or maybe cake decorating classes to be weird!

Forest Gump is what I thought of when you said you just wanted to keep running. I feel you on that, however, I couldn't run a 400 m!! HAHA.

Well, I wouldn't be able to run far....I am a terrible runner....but it just feels like what I should do. At least I have an urge to run and not eat the entire container of ice cream that's in the freezer. lol.

Cake decorating is sssoo much fun. My mom used to do it for some extra money (years and years ago, back when I was a toddler). She taught me a few things about two years ago. It was actually very fun. You should give it a try.

I have an SLR camera and I love it....I still learning how to use it. It's fun. I too tend to have a good eye, now I just have to figure out how to put it on a picture. I am much better with landscape than people or animals.

I wish I wanted to run. B/c right now all I want to do is eat!

I started painting rooms in our house. It started with the kitchen, then the entry way...then the living room and yesterday it was the spare bathroom. Not sure why, but it feels so good! In the back of my mind I keep thinking "well, hopefully I'll get pregnant again soon and I won't be able to paint if that happens".

I also had the urge to run, I wanted to run and cry and just keep running...but I'm not a good runner either! Does speed walking count .

I say speed walking counts!

I am beginning to paint or finish my painting projects that I had started a couple months ago. That includes our, what will be our nursery room, then I want to paint the rest of the house for a little more warmth. Like you, I figure I won't be able to climb up on top of a ladder for our 12 foot walls! So better do it now when I can!

I was doing some internet searching the other day and saw that I think Michaels has classes or someplace does that you can go to for a quick lesson. I might just do that. I would love to do the fondant stuff. I watch Cake Boss on TLC all the time and it motivates me however the stuff they do is a bit too much.

I love black and white photos!! I mean infatuated with them, I think they express so much emotion and to show my appreciation, all the pics in our living room is black and whites from our wedding. Love them.

We are also planning to do some house work. I am thinking about painting the bathrooms. We're getting new carpet put down soon (I can't wait to get that soft carpet feel on my toes). We had lots of little projects planned, but we didn't do any of them. Now seems like a great time.

I just wanted to run too so I actually started doing the C25K program, and am now on Week 6. That led to my husband and I actually signing up for a couple of races. Having a set goal like this is really helping me focus on something else besides the waiting to try again. Our second race "should" actually line right up with when we can TTC (if my cycles ever regulate).

bbetson · September 2009

It's interesting that so many of us felt the need to run/start running. I am sure there is some psychological reason for that...too bad I don't know what it could be.

I started scrapbooking again and don't laugh but I started focusing on growing out my hair again. My hair usually stops growing at a certain length so I really have to take care of it to get past that length. Couldn't take the smell of any hair products while pregnant...Also back to my 3:00 starbucks breaks which really pass the time at work.

After My first, I started crocheting mittens for a local charity. After my second, I felt the need to do something specifiaclly for babies since I couldn't do it for my own( I know, I know, it was kind of torture, too) so I started crocheting and sewing for a program called Newborns in Need. After the third, I a started to research adoption and deep clean my house (for the homestudy). Unfortunately, DH originally agreed with that plan but after th fourth mc changed his mind and said he wanted to forget another child completely. Needless to say I'm more than a little depressed about that. I an currently sewing flags for my oldest daughter's band(She's in colorguard)..not becaue I want to but becaue I volunteered to do it even before I knew I was pg and I feel like I can't back out now. The flags do have a few tear stains though...
