I dearly love staying home, and some days dread the fact that I have something going on. Usually, I go do what I have to, and have a good time once I get there. My HS class is having their 50th reunion this summer. I refuse to go. My kids think I should, but for various reasons I just don't want to. It's way to expensive for where they are having it. And, I already see the classmates I want to keep in touch with on a semi regular basis, so why pay upwards of $50 to go eat with a bunch of people I don't care that much about, weren't friends with in HS anyway, and with whom I have absolutely nothing in common. NOT! Talk about depressing and not getting around much anymore. This is a great example of me just not giving a care anymore. LOL! I guess I should have blogged this instead of commenting, but you get what I mean.

That is never a good thing-to be bored and uninterested in what is happening. I hope you can find something that sparks your interest. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522929750944577069.post-27361109167418777422013-06-04T16:15:11.565-05:002013-06-04T16:15:11.565-05:00Aw!

I go once a week for 2 hours and volunteer my time. That's enough for me, but I find it rewarding. Does Austin have an adult chorus? I wish my community had one, cause I'd be the first one there. I know you aren't a hobby person, but perhaps taking an audited class at the University would interest you. <br />I know, I am sounding all gung-ho, aren't I. Just trying to maybe help you out of your rut. I know that for anything interesting to happen, you some times have to go looking for it. And that's not an easy thing. Our community has just started a "free clinic" and I am thinking of volunteering there maybe a day or two a month. They need people to answer phones, take medical info from patients etc. I could do that. Please, please, don't just sit at home and be bored. Get out among 'em, and let them know that you are a woman with smarts, education, and drive, and you will find something to fill that boring time, and get rewards that you can't imagine. Go for it!!!
