I resolve..
Aug. 13th, 2006 01:23 pmYes, untraditional perhaps to make a reslution when the year's over half gone, but:
Went to the monthly party last night, the first "outside the house" socializing I've done in a while. Much of the conversation was about how we all worked too hard and didn't get out much. Ironically said subjects come up just at the time that 1) My schedule has cleared dramatically and 2) I've been thinking I need to reconnect with friends.
And it's not like I need to make new friends, I just need to actually see (you know, in person) the ones I already have. But I am extremely talented at finding reasons not to leave "my cave" - laziness chief among them, because much as I need "me time" to sew and read and so forth, I need to make more time for my friends.
So, I resolve to try and be more social, and not bow out of plans simply because I can't be arsed to make the effort. Exceptions made if I'm genuinely tired or have a scheduling conflict.
