Sometimes I feel like that too. The things I like doing the most are things I might have found boring a few years ago, sans partner & kiddo. My sister and I talk about it frequently, actually, about how there's nothing more enjoyable than knitting on a front porch with a cup of tea and a friend or two.
Ack! Then I think "OMG I sound like an old grandma." Except, my grandma is really cool. And there's nothing wrong with knitting or liking tea or conversation or any of that. I had to remind myself that I don't need to be out at a bar or dancing or going to concerts or whatever to be a fun & interesting person. I just need to surround myself with other people who find similar things interesting.
Does a Scrabble party sound like fun to you? Better yet, a Scrabble Party Potluck? Well, it does to me and I'm sure some of my friends--maybe we should all get together and be old and boring together :)!
Or we could teach you how to knit? It's super fun.
