Believe it.

Recently, my friend Maureen started a new blog. This is important for two reasons. First, it necessitated me updating my blog so I could add a link to her blog (see right). Second, it made me fully realize a horrible blogging mistake I made.

See, I originally thought that if this blog had to be about something, I was in big trouble. It turned out that because it wasn't about anything, I was in big trouble. I rarely found inspiration. Maureen's blog has an awesome theme: she writes about new things she tries. Anything new counts. (Apparently not new things also count, so long as you make special note of their not-newness.) This seems to me to be a nearly endless supply of blogging inspiration.

So I talked it over with Maureen and Emily (she of my original blogging instruction) and we came up with the following plan. Starting now, my blog is about my hobbies. We further determined my hobbies are as follows:

- sports
- watching tv
- dining
- gardening
- traveling

Maureen's a little annoyed that watching tv is one of my hobbies. But too bad, because it's true.

Frequently I get to combine my hobbies. Like right now, I'm watching sports on tv (MLB All Star Game). It's also common for me to watch tv about dining and gardening via Food Network and HGTV. It now occurs to me that I never watch the travel channel though. Huh.

Anyway, I'm back. And now I have lots to write about. Stay tuned!
