Taking Mary out this weekend

After being couped up at home for most of February, Mary and I have plans for the weekend. Today we went to the Hullabaloo Concert at UTC...tomorrow is Gymboree, and Sunday, barring any other plans, will be Gymboree as well. I'm excited. I don't take her out as much as I should and wished I did.

I worry sometimes that me not taking her out and mingling her with other people has caused her to be shy...or really reserved. I think reserved is more like it. I want her to be weary of strangers...cause I don't want her to gladly take the hand of any Tom, Dick, and Harry out there...but I want her to be a people person. I wish I was more of a people person.

Meetup.com was supposed to be a major outlet for exposing the both of us to San Diego and new people. It still is sort of...me not having unlimited access to a car has really hurt me socially...and we have decided not to get another car till we move...but it still makes it hard.

ideas

I've been thinking about what angle I want to go off from for this blog. I don't think I'm interested in laying my business out for anyone to see...mostly because it's not that interesting, even to me, lol. Besides, I have a journal for that. Making it about Mary seems pointless because that's what I use facebook for, and I keep up with that way more.

So then I thought about my hobbies and interests...I've been reading a lot, I'm already on book number 12, "From Dead to Worse" by Charlaine Harris...so maybe I'll make my blog more about my reviews about the books I read and the shows I watch. It's something I do a lot...read and watch television...and I definitely have opinions about what I read and watch...sometimes opinions bordering on obsessive, lol, but it could work.

So from that spring board, the degree of specifics on my reviews...I don't know if I want to pre-write something...or go off the cuff. I participate on goodreads.com and I write little off the cuff reviews there...I'm okay with them...but they can seem so ametuer...but it is what I feel at that precise moment...hmm...well...we'll see.

But really...I don't want this blog to go under...I want to find a voice...and I hope to do that soon!
