I have been racking my brain trying to think of something! I think it should be something you can do on your own time, not feel pressured with deadlines. Scrapbooking? Writing? I can't even think of any good books! Sorry, I'm no help!

I love books by Marian Keyes. She is Irish and hilarious. I have almost all of them, so would be glad to loan some out!

Plant a garden. Or play with your kids. Or get pregnant again. Or show Lilly competitvely.

Okay, I realize that you posted this question awhile ago, but thought I'd throw in an idea anyway.

My hobby is digital scrapbooking. Since you like the computer, take a lot of cool pictures, and probably have them all in digital format, there are some cool software programs that have layout templates that help you make really neat scrapbooking pages that you just print out and put in an album. Much cheaper and less time consuming than traditional scrapbooking but still an awesome end result. Even ends up looking 3-dimensional.

I use these two programs - Art Explosion Scrapbooking Factory Deluxe and Creating Keepsakes. Both sell for about $30. Check out http://scrapbooking-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

Keeps me busy ... and it's easy and FUN! Plus, you can print out copies for the family and put together little albums for presents. I did albums for Christmas presents one year. Cheap and really meaningful. Only downside is the cost of color ink cartridges.
