Just wondering if you are learning something new or playing some new sport or hitting the gym or something to do something to ease the waiting frustration?

I blog about waiting! Hehe. It's only partly new for me though, because I've kept blogs before and my career is writing, so it's a happy marriage of the two. Pun intended. :P

Does stalking wedding blogs count??  I actually keep myself busy by writing as much and as often as possible, working out when I can't find a reason not to, and I'll be back in school starting January.  Funny thing is, even with all of this stuff going on I still find time to think about marrying the boo.

when i was waiting (like new it was coming in a matter of a couple months) i started training for a half marathon.  terrible reason...i wanted to look good when he did it...but it actually was awesome and after awhile, my reasons for wanting to do it changed!  so bottom line was, when he finally did it, not only did i look great, i FELT great!  win win ;)

I've actually taken up sewing. I got my first sewing machine last year for xmas. I made a convertible dress this summer and LOVED it so much that I'm making them for my bridesmaids and, with different fabric and a few alterations, am making one as my bridal dress!

I'm making a quilt for my little boy, I've already made hats and scarves, I made some cool hanging wall organizers too! LOVE IT!

Never thought I'd go from being a hip, high-heel wearing, big city makeup artist to a quiet PJ-wearing seamstress making cute kid stuff! Who new!?

I'm a plus size model. I went to the audition because I said, hey, I need something to occupy my time and that was it. :)

All awesome answers.  All varied.  I'm thinking of trying racquetball since it's high energy and competitive and I won't get bored.  I'm so very itchy Frown

Not waiting, but wishing I picked up regular exercise as a hobby pre-engagement.  Trying to lose weight after being engaged when everyone wants to celebrate is very hard.

Planning bridal showers for my two friends that recently got engaged. Lame, I know. But it kinda helps. I'm so excited for them that I can't help myself.

Oh, and moping. I'm not very good at distracting myself.

I've picked up a few hobbies making candles, jewelry, and working on a scrapbook which I haven't started on yet. I've bought stuff and am still brainstorming for the scrapbook. Its going to be "Our" scrapbook I have tons of pictures just sitting in a box.

I've been trying to find some little job since we've moved but its not going well :(

I love doing and learning new stuff its expensive getting started and some are ALWAY expensive.
