this can be a trick question -- if I take up a LOVER, then i also pick up a HOBBY of trying to keep him excited and a full-time JOB trying to keep it secret! either way, find a HOBBY that you LOVE and make it your JOB. ;-)

We play video games and sometimes board games together. We walk around in our favorite stores a lot and just look around at the fun stuff. Drive around aimlessly. Go see movies (matinees only, because they are cheap). Sometimes, we go see live music if the cover is cheap. Other times, we entertain ourselves by visiting my nieces (always amusing). \n\nWe also just like to come home, sit in front of the fireplace, and watch t.v., too. Depends on what we have to do, and if we feel like going out.

The love of my life. There's always a job somewhere. Be poor and happy or well off and miserable? It's a no-brainer!

Your activity level really drives what you do. Looking for common intrests is the best place to start. Choosing a hobby should be simple. Pick something that you can easily pick up. Complicated hobbies tend to be let downs. \n\nMy wife and I enjoy painting miniture figures for wargames. She doesn't play, but I do. We sit and paint for hours, talking joking and relaxing. Our neighbors ride bikes alot. I knew a couple that made rope by braiding all sorts of different kinds of material.\n\nGood luck to you.

Why don't you try to do something outside of work to keep your passion alive?\n\nTry a hobby, a craft or explore something you have always wanted to such as painting, water skiing, sky diving, learning Russian, or whatever strikes your fancy.\n\nLife is short.  Explore it all.

Hello Kenna’s mum. Ah the joys of having children and losing one’s identity into them… \n\nI’m going to assume that, as you use the word ‘home’ rather than ‘house’, you are looking at something in which to live rather than to turn a profit. In which case, I think the single biggest FOR is that you will have a home onto which you have indelibly stamped your personality if you choose a doer upper over something already complete. Pretty well everything else can be both a FOR and AGAINST depending on whom you are. And that’s the key. If you understand what you’re buying and can correctly judge the amount of work needed on a doer upper you can make very large savings. But you have to be good at budgeting and sticking to a budget; you have to really enjoy creating something from nothing (which includes the finishing detail – so many people can do 95% of something and then get bored); can you manage others (contractors, trade people, your partner?); do you have the time available for the commitment?; can you live in the middle of a building site for several months?; are you both fully committed to the same vision? These questions have to be addressed. If the answers are yes then you will embark on an adventure that will be both financially and spiritually satisfying. If the answer is no, you risk emotional turmoil and financial disaster. \n\nSo you have to look honestly at yourself and your partner. Is renovating a house really you? And to what extent can you maintain your interest/calmness/partnership if things start to get sticky? A lot of doer uppers require only superficial work and so that type of property is quite easy for anyone with a limited amount of creativity and stickability. I am always amazed by how limited the average person’s ability is to see what a run down but fundamentally sound property could be. They don’t see beyond what is, to envisage how, with often minimal effort, something can be transformed into a highly desirable home. So, which are you? Is one of you creative and the other practical? That’s the combination needed. If you’re creative or both practical that can often be a problem. Some time ago my partner and I bought a house for way below its true value because no one else seemed to see what we saw. We fell in love with it, knocked down a wall, stripped down woodwork, repainted everything else, fitted a new kitchen etc etc but kept the essence of the house intact. Most of the work I was able to do myself because I’m quite practical and my wife is highly creative and ‘visionary’, but contractors are always needed for some of the more technical things (and they are unbelievably frustrating). When we had finished, everyone who thought we were mad when we started, couldn’t praise the place enough. When we reluctantly sold (very reluctantly – maybe that’s an AGAINST – your emotional investment is huge) because of the need to move elsewhere, we doubled our money. Since then we have built our own home, but that’s a whole different story \n\nFrom your profile you seem to be very busy. Dedicated to an 11 month old child and a wonderfully rewarding vocation. Unless your partner can take on the lion’s share of the doer upper project, you’re going to have to drop the ‘busy’ and simply become super…mum  On the other hand, if the doer upper is a long term project and you’re the sort of couple that aren’t looking for a house from the pages of ‘House and Garden’ in the short term, then go for the doer upper – it can be a wonderful bonding exercise. But keep a very tight rein on those purse strings. And, if you haven’t already seen it, go rent out the movie – The Money Pit. It’s really funny but oh how true to life!!! Johno

I've been in my career for over 20 years, and I really enjoy working in the field that I do...\n\nThat said, --- I would quit my job so fast it would make their heads spin!...\n\nI have so many other interests and hobbies that  boredom would never be a problem...\n\nTo keep a job under such circumstances is something that I can only see as bordering on utter lunacy!

I'd be one of the desperate house-guys. I'd probably be Mike. I give my all to this woman I love, and she stomps on it. I treat her like a queen, but she doesn't realize it... Then when she tries to fix it, I find out more lies.\n\nLadies, I need some love.

It's a never ending battle to keep things exciting, isn't it? I am a firm believer that doing things together and doing things for each other (like making a nice dinner, buying a small gift, etc.) are keys too keeping a fun and loving relationship. Doing things you both can enjoy like: a hike, rock climbing, going to a concert/theater...whatever your interests are. Find something for both of you to do..I personally like playing sports or doing something active with my husband because it helps improve our "team work", and if you can work together while playing sports or something that requires a sort of team like atmosphere, then working on your relationship will be easier.\nEven something like doing yard work or cooking together can create a bond.\nGood luck, I hope this helps.
