Yomama - Looks like you have done it all and are a pretty accomplished person in your own right. Quite a few people who have gone through the kind of dilemna you talk about have, believe it or not, found an outlet in getting married and starting a family. I am not one of those people(at least not yet .. he he ) but when I read your posting I coudn't but help think about a couple of my friends who ended up marrying and starting a family to overcome the boredom of doing the same thing day in and day out. I haven't heard from them in a while - so I am not sure how their decisions have turned out to be. I went through somewhat of a similar situation a while ago. In my case, I did consider marriage but decided against it. Instead, I went on to pick up a few new hobbies, switched jobs, travelled a bit and somehow in the process found my grip, or at least that's what I like to think :). I'll get bored of this stuff someday, I know for sure, but hey, I'll find a new adventure then. Good luck in finding yours. Best wishes.
