Where does the time go?


Ok I must apologize for the extended time period between rants. I really have no idea why I've let the time pass--it just seems to whether I like it or not.

I've always thought that when I had a job, I would have all this free time to pursue hobbies, etc. It hasn't really happened. I DO remember short spells where I felt like I had nothing on my plate--but lately I feel like I'm racing around constantly.

I recently turned 35--feels older than it probably should. Here are a few things I wish I had time to do:

Rock climb--uggh when was the last time I even got to go to the gym??
Start running again--I used to be so rabid (no, not avid--rabid) about running.
Sewing projects
Knitting projects
Blog (of course)
Lift weights
Clean house--I mean really clean
Finish the remodel projects (HA!)
Go through my pictures and scan the hardcopies
Travel
Garden (ok not in the snow)
Put up christmas decorations before its too late!
Volunteer for something

I'm sure the list goes on--but these are the things I've been thinking of lately. I wish work didn't get in the way--or does it? In reality there are probably a million ways I could better budget my time.

Will there ever be a time that I don't feel panicked to get everything done? Will I ever be one of those people that manages to send out nice Christmas cards and remembers people's birthdays? What is the secret?
