How did you find your hobby and what is it?

I've had several over the years...

Always have been into sports - basketball, tennis, etc.

The past 5-7 years, though, it's been latin dancing (salsa, cha cha cha, bachata). Absolutely love it.

PP here. Hello fellow dancer! DW and I tried tango eons ago and we LOVED it but we were so into the salsa scene that we simply could not devote enough time for it. Very elegant/difficult dance!

I love doing focus groups and related things. I'd wager that I do about $2k- $3k per year. I've always been interested in market research and how products are launched. Honestly, I'd do it for free.

Before that, I did secret shopping for luxury brands of restaurants and hotels. That work required SO MUCH DETAIL, and I have small children now, so I don't have the brain for it at the moment. But it's fun for people who want to eat at the fancy restaurants but don't want to drop $200-$300 on a meal

can you provide more detail on this? This looks interesting to me but I have no idea what it entails!

I read, play tennis and do puzzles. I especially like jigsaw (the more difficult the better) but also word puzzles and logic games.

Where would I go to dance? My DH sadly isn't willing to do this with me. I took a dance class one time (swing) and had to do it solo and found some of the guys to be creepy.

Sorry! Didn't say how I came into these:
Reading: Bookmobile coming to town when I was 7. Hooked for life!
Crocheting: My mom always crocheted when I was growing up, wanted to try it!
Card making: Family friend always makes beautiful hand made greeting cards, so I started taking some kit classes. Admittedly, I need to get back into it.
Planner/journaling: A coworker used a paper planner and I fell in love. Now I love creating weekly layouts in multiple planners (catchall, household, budget, fitness and going to start journaling next month.) I USE them all, I have 3 jobs and need to keep track--I'm a pen and paper gal!
Houseplants: Love the idea, I have lots of fake greenery and am starting to sprinkle in live ones

I could not figure it out. I don't need the stuff that have coupons and I don't know how to stagger them. I had 2 coupons for CVS and the clerk told me to give me the coupons in different order next time.
