Why Do I Do This To Myself??

So here I am again feeling totally overwhelmed by all of my hobbies....only the problem this time is not that I am burnt out, but that I now have 3 hobbies that I am totally in love with and am not sure how to divide my time. As most of you know I have been knitting for about a year and half now, I got a sewing machine for Christmas, & yesterday I picked up my first bass guitar!! Now I am just not sure what to spend my time doing. Yesterday, I also received my "Learn To Sew" books in the mail so I am eager to read those and maybe try some simpler sewing projects than what I have selected to date....Nerd Wars officially started yesterday and I now have 4 knitting projects that need to be cast on and cast off by the end of the month in order to earn points....I am the team captain I have to accomplish this....also I don't want to push my bass aside...we spent good money on that thing and I am determined to be an excellent bass player! What to do? What to do?

A New Obsession

Yes, that is what I needed in my life....another thing to obsess over :) So about 4-6 months ago Walt got a cheap acoustic guitar from the toy section of Wal-Mart and had been learning to play guitar on it. Well, last week he sold a small painting and went to Guitar Center and got a "REAL" guitar. So then it got me to thinking I have always wanted to learn to play bass guitar....so I decided when my tax refund came back that I would go get myself a bass guitar. We went to Guitar Center and looked around and asked about their lay-a-way plan. We finally made our decisions....Walt put a guitar he had looked at the week previously, but wasn't available for sale yet on lay-a-way...along with an amp for me and this bass guitar!!!!!!

I am so excited....I can't wait to pay off our lay-a-way and really start to learn how to play this thing. I have been looking at various tutorials for learning to play and I am excited to get started.
