Riddle Me This

As I am wandering around my apartment on my day off the words of my father echo in my head, "You need a hobby." It all started with their visit. They came down and we had a lovely time, traveling to Napa and around the home front. My mom at one point was like you don't have to entertain us, you can just do whatever you normally do. And at this point we were just sitting in the living room reading magazines and watching TV. And I thought uhhhh this is what I normally do. Yikes. When the parental unit left, McSweets also had to leave for work and I said, "Hey! What I am I suppose to do?" And my dad looked me square in the eye and said, "You really need a hobby."

Side note: What does the phrase square in the eye really mean? My eyes are round. I digress.

So this sentence has been rolling around in my head for a while and I am trying to think of my hobbies. I use to have hobbies, but since I moved to CA they have really gone away. Most of the time I just work and when I am not working I think about work and I check my work email. (I just read this email and it makes me sound really pathetic, no wonder my dad said what he did)

Next I Google, popular hobbies. This is what I found:

1. Golf
Okay, I just told McSweets while we were watching a golf commercial on TV, golf is boring. I don't understand how people enjoy it and say it's relaxing. I say boring.

2. Playing a Musical Instrument
Use to play the piano. Now I don't have a piano. Moving on.

3. Skiing
Never done it. I don't like being cold either.

4. Gardening
I live in an apartment. Next!

5. Swimming
Can't. My brother got the swim lessons in the family.

6. Snow Boarding
Done it. Suck at it. And again I don't like being cold.

7. Mountain Climbing
Really!?

So as of now, I am still trying to figure out my "hobbies." Wish me luck!

This is the picture I found when I typed in popular hobbies, 

I really hope it doesn't come to stamp collecting.
