Hobby

You are being warned. This is about to get very nerdy.

So I decided that I needed a hobby. Well, it was decided for me that I needed a hobby. My husband plays video games. A lot. And he gets annoyed with my bored sighs constantly. So he decided that I should have a hobby. I agree, because I hate being bored. So I looked at my options. I can already knit, and it’s not fun. I could do puzzles, but I am not 74 years old. I can’t really draw or paint or sculpt. I could (and do…often) read, but I go through books so quickly that they don’t last long enough. So what is left to do? Well, I like to build stuff. I like cars. Do any of you see where this is going?

Yes. Model cars! This is so awesome! For me anyway. This way, I can build super awesome cars, ones that I can’t actually afford to buy. And paint them whatever color I want. And it takes forever, so I will not finish it quickly. And when I am done, I will have a tiny, awesome car. And one day, when  I have an office, I can put them on display, like my friend Timm. I decided to start out with a 1970 Boss Mustang. Which is a fantastic car. Almost as cool as the 1969 Mustang Mach-1…but hey, they didn’t have one of those.

I will show you a picture when it is done. It will be awhile. I am still figuring out how to  do this whole thing. Any of you like to build these tiny cars? No? No tips for me at all? Well, what is your hobby then?

P.S. I am so excited about this. If you make fun of me, I may glare at you.
