Help me PLEASE!

About 13 years ago I bought a spinning wheel because I always thought it was a beautiful piece of furniture, and I figured I might one day learn how to "spin". Well, that day has come. My problem is I need a new hobby like I need another kid! My neighbor Shirley, spins and looms and knits and crochets and does ceramics. When she saw I had a spinning wheel, she offered to show me how. I went with her to a guild meeting this past monday and was amazed watching some of the women spin. Some raise their own sheep and alpacas and shear them to spin. My problem is I would really like to spin, but I don't really have a desire to knit or crochet...what to do with the fibers when I'm done. I also feel like I don't have enough time to quilt and embroider - why would I start another hobby?!
