Someone mentioned this to me one day, the understated 'quater life crisis'...i had never heard this phrase before but now i am paranoid it is what i am going through. i think realistically i am just bored with life at the moment, i have to say my routine is pretty boring, wake up have a coffee go to work, run around crazy,have a coffee, come home, watch spongebob ( when i can make it home intime- which i do try!!LOL just for spongebob!!) simpsons,shortland street, then cook some dinner,watch greys anatomy/lost/invasion/desperate housewives. thats all i am into at the moment!...some weekends i have to work, and other weekends my hubby has to work so we seem to keep missing each other, in terms of spending a day out and about. I keep meaning to join a tai chi class or canoeing, but i tried to look up some clubs but they were either too far away or 'out of season'...so still twiddling my fingers trying to find some extracurricular activities...in the meantime i make a poor attempt at painting in my spare time and trying to rekindle my poetry writing, long dormant since highschool. I also have a few 'projects' waiting for me such as a pile of clothes needing mending, ( i know- very domestic of me) some books that need sorting and most entertaining is a box of emails i have collected over the year regarding my and some friend's first year at work, that i am meaning to make a book of some sort out of ( memorabillia) I keep staring out at our little lawn wanting to create a little garden but I fear whatever would start to sprout out of the ground will just die over winter anyways so why bother! And then there is a treadmill in the garage which i enthusiastically rented with an initial ambition to do some 'extreme makeover-ing' of my own, only to find me first run extreeeeemmmely boring ( ie i was in a garage facing a wall not to mention the cobwebs hanging over head and the stuffy smell)..so i have bought a little 2nd hand TV to watch c4 and run, so far i have done that twice in the last- dont really want to say how long!! he he!! anyways, i kinda feel like an old lady at the moment, iseem to entertain myself with making cappucinos with the coffee machine my hun bought me..and sprinkling the chocolate on the frothed milk etc!!LOL..i know- what a loser!!anyways..if anyone has any great ideas..please let me know..otherwise i continue to roam the yellow pages, in search of the answer to my 'quater life crisis'!!
p.s please excuse the spelling and punctuation- I know i am terrible at it, just cant be bothered to correct it!

HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH THE MILK MAN,(they don't deliver to your suburb?), WITH THE GARDENER (you don't have a garden), OR THE POSTMAN (he's a she).
Nevermind...just try'na help out...heheh
Yeah man, I go through that sometimes, the whole monotonous thing, but i reckon its also coz of winter and the crap weather.
but you still gotta try and 'SWITCH OFF' the tv and call around someone elses house for tea, join a social team (netball, volleyball, chess), join the local RSA club and play pool, drink cheap beer and play the pokies with the Maolis, do abs if the tv is on, go to the library and get out a book, help uni students with the assignments(NOT), TEACH dance to young guns - youve got that dance streak, theres lots of community centers with little kids wanting to dance,...IF ALL ELSE FAILS, fark it, watch tv.
cheers,
me
I hope you will go ahead with your email scrapbook sometimes going over old letters can bring friends and family so much closer.
It's a great stress free way to incinerate time.
Best of luck to you.
Love this one, I think we all suffer from this at some point, but its a good start that you have to blog to lash out at hahaha! I now have a couple oh and I don't work hahaha! For that treadmill, I think you have to mentally say to yourself that you will enjoy the run and do it. Or dont run and do brisk walks. U might have to work around your schedules somehow so u guys have time together!
Oh and my favourite that everyone says to me now is "Have a baby to keep yourself busy" what a lovely excuse. My dear child I had you cos I was so bored hahaha!
I'm sure you'll be fine if you do everything we're advising here hahaha! Cheers.
