Happy About My Hobby

*Big deep sigh* the professor indicated that she wanted to do something a light blog and asked that we write about one of our hobbies. This was actually a depressing topic for me. I couldn’t think of one hobby. So my mind is racing: I wake up wash, cook, get the kids ready, drop them off, go to work, pick them up, cook dinner, go to bed, and wake up and do it all over again. Yeah that’s it. That’s my life the last few years.

Then it dawns of me. I have a hobby actually I have a few hobbies that I am able to fit in the busy “mommy” schedule mentioned in the previous paragraph. I love to eat, work out and shop for shoes and dresses.

Eating became a hobby at a very early aging. I had (this might sound mean but I say it with so much love) chunky brother that always wanted me to taste something he was eating, and now as an adult I go to as many restaurants as I can to taste new thing. I can’t eat any pastries that are not made that same day. I cannot eat pizza from just any pizza place. I’m from Bensonhurst Brooklyn, home of the Italians so my pizza must taste a certain way. If you ever come to Brooklyn you have to try L & B’s (I’ll list the link below). I guess I would love to be a food taster; maybe even have my own show on the food network.

Well with all that eating came another hobby of mine which is exercising. That hobby started as a teen. All I will say is JANET JACKSON. I wanted her abs so badly that I would do 600 crunches every day after school. I wanted a six pack just like hers. I only could get the for four pack and later found out that you (ladies) have to lift weights and have a certain diet in order to get a six pack. I jog four times a week, jump rope twice a week, and do body sculpting twice a week. I feel good working out. I recently had a baby (c-section) and for the last two years stopped working out but I’m back and going harder than ever. I’m promised the older women at my job to start a class after work come fall, so I have to stick to it! If I could would create my own workout video. I guess I can through youtube.

I LOVE DRESSES!!! I love long dresses, short dress, tight dress, ruffle dress; it screams woman, lady, beautiful. Every time I put on a dress I still spin around in it as if I was a little girl putting on my fancy Easter dress. I LOVE SHOES!!! I love stilettos, platform, flats, and wedges. Shoe to me accentuates a woman’s silhouette. To shop for them is the ultimate rush. I get to incorporate my other two hobbies: eating and exercising while shopping.
