I hate it when people ask me "what's new?" because I never have anything exciting to say. I totally understand the question, and it's a great way to get the conversation going, but I really don't do anything exciting in direct relation to myself.
Most of my answers revolve around my daughter.
"B keeps me entertained with ballet"
"B keeps me busy with school and helping out"
"We had a playdate the other day"
Yup, almost all relates directly to her. Times like that make me think I need to do more for me.
I have a guitar here that is not being played. It should be. I have a language book on my self begging to be learned. It should be. I have ideas in my head and on paper that are wanting to be expanded. They should be.
And when I do that all, I will be able to tell you something exciting next time I'm asked "what's new?".
One day, I WILL say one (hopefully all) of these as a reply.
"I can speak Italian"
"I'm much better at the guitar"
"I finished writing my book"

Stepping out of my shell
Well, if you came from Twitter, you understand the title.
I have been playing around with this blog for over 2 years. Never writing much, just talking about random things on my mind, reviewing different books or movies, a little bit of everything.
I'm someone who loves to write, I may not be awesome at it, or have the widest vocabulary, as you'll notice, but I love it anyways. I find that if my mind is racing, writing helps me to get it out.
I downloaded the Blogger app on my phone too, which I have found has me blogging more and more, and often on the go. (Like at my daughters ballet class the other day)
I would love to be a writer. I loved it in high school, hated it in college, and have come full circle to where I can't get enough. I have been struggling to get the nerves to make this public. Sure it's always been out there, and anyone could have stumbled on it, but only 3 people I know personally have read few of the posts.
It's hard to put yourself out there, and have people judge your most private thoughts. I'm basically sharing my diary, and we all know how off-limits those are.
But I'm here, sharing with you all, because it's time I stepped out of my shell and share what I feel.
