Amy's New Hobby



I am gearing up for 2009 and my new years resolutions. This year I was a Board member of the Metro New York Chapter of the Legal Marketing Association. It is a great organization full of really fun people (many who have turned into personal friends over the years), but it was a super huge time commitment and I am waiting for January 1st when all of that time will be handed back to me to do with what I please. Which means that I need to find a new hobby! Before I was on the LMA Board, I was taking flamenco lessons, which was a super fun and creative outlet (my dance teacher Christina is in the photo on the left)...until I took the classes for so long that they became repetative and sort of boring. Now I need all of you to help me pick a new activity to fill all my free time. Some ideas I have thought of are:

1. Photography class
2. Aerial Yoga (yep, you do yoga on trapeze ropes)
3. Regular dance class or tap dancing class
4. Pickling veggies
5. Knitting or sewing (keep in mind the space restrictions in my apartment)
6. Training to run a few 1/2 marathons in 2009
7. Pester Dan more

Please vote or come up with a different idea!

On another note, being a part of the Board this year has made me realize that I am not a "joiner". I don't like being a member of clubs or organizations and I think that is the main reason I hated going to church. I always dreaded that they would give me a church job that I would hate and then I would have to go every week and there would be no way out and then I would have a panick attack.....you see where this is going.

You have a natural talent for Photography. I love looking at your Photos. And you are an amazing dancer. I think those are the things I would choose for myself also. Yay for being done in Jan. Woohoo
