Do I need a hobby?

So, as I'm sitting here reflecting on life as Campbell sleeps, I have recalled a convo with my physical therapist yesterday....

PT- "Ok, so you are a teacher (blah blah... insert something here about what grade I teach, or something like that).... And so what do you do in your free time? Like, what are your hobbies?"

Me- "Um... well, I chase after my 1 year old daughter. And.... well, I've just started to work out again. (long silence).... Oh! And I shop."

PT just stares at me.... then scribbles down on her little sheet. "Ok then. Let's get started."

......

So, do I need a hobby or something? I mean, you know, with all the "free time" I have and all? You'd think that the PT was expecting me to say that I volunteer at a soup kitchen or collect trash on the side of the road, from the reaction she had to my comment. I can't help that all I have time to do between diapers and feedings is to hop on an elliptical and find a good sale.

What do you all think? Shopping is enough of a hobby, right?

Perhaps if I called it "stimulating the economy" she would have taken me more seriously......
