I am happy to say that i have started those dance lessons. I do two hours of west coast swing every week, and have a few private lessons as I can afford. It’s fun, and it gets me out of the house~
Also, it is a co-hobby with my dad, and we are meeting at a swing convention next April. So, hopefully I will be a hot dancer by then!
Other things…
Photography is being pursued. I’m experimenting with self portraits, and a friend is showing me the basics of Lightroom for developing said photos. I’m supposed to have a lesson today, where I am going to take pictures of him and his new car and he’s going to help me with the concepts of lighting etc.
Other interests that I want to start pursuing: color/design/art/painting several years ago I took a very basic acrylic painting/color theory class, something like that would do the trick, I also have paints and canvases that I could get out at any time and play with. That may need to be where I start.
I want to start writing, and for me that will most likely start with some form of journaling, but I like the idea of writing short stories, just as an exercise to loosen up my brain and see what I can get out of it :) I feel very much like I want to live this theme of relaxing and opening, and seeing what happens from there.
The bike maintenance is also in need of attending to. I had a class lined up two weeks ago, but I skipped it to go to a party… I’m going to the shop today to get a new pump, so I’ll inquire when the next class is.

am thinking of looking into getting a ukulele and trying to learn some basic cords.
I want to go to some museums soon, as I love art. I’m a member at lacma, and I love their regular collection. also, I haven’t been to the getty villa yet…. should do that next month.
and think I will search for local mtn biking groups and try to find an intermediate clan I can start riding with, as all my biking buddies are friends with that man.

Want to get back on my mountain bike, and take a class on bike maintenance so I feel confident.
Dance lessons, for physical and social activity all at the same time.
Plan on reading the book Eat, Pray, Love (might start today)
Want to learn some good recipes for tapas/appetizers, for when I dazzle my friends with a wine and appetizer party.

I really want to get a dog, some day, so I want to learn about training them, and the kind of dog that would be suited to city life. I think I need a low energy dog since I work full time away from home….....

but haven’t been writing any of it down. I feel a bit in a rut and have not challenged myself or really learned anything new lately, other than just life experience and the school of dealing with people, but honestly, I’m repeating many lessons in that arena. Off the top of my head, I want to take a basic drawing class and also a color and design class from Otis college. I’m also curious if I would enjoy accounting as a career, so I’d like to learn more, even if just to familiarize myself with basic accounting concepts. I feel a bit like I would like to go back to school, but not sure for what exactly. My real desire would be to go back to university and just take classes that interest me and not worry about applying them towards some narrow goal/job/degree title, I’ve been there, done that, and am still there. Well, this will be a fun goal to work on!
- Accounting/Business degrees, classes, career options
- Basic Drawing Class (smc, otic, ucla extension)
- color and design from Otis
