My Julia Julia Experiment

So, I need to get out of this large hole of stay-at-home mediocrity after I get back from work everyday. I have few friends here and I hang out with my PARENTS...ahh! My seclusion from the world has reached it's peak since moving back home in August. Adventure will give me sanity again...more friends will surely follow in result (I know I have that charm about me...)

So I watched Julia and Julia and came up with something of my own. Has nothing to do with cooking really (although I do want to do the same one day..in my OWN home), but it will be a routine of new excitements and very wide possibilities.

Solution: The Process every week or 2 at most:

Step 1: Search event calendar in local newspaper.
Step 2: Pick the strangest or most interesting thing to do that is either free or really close to free.

Step 3: You help me Choose! Then Do the top choice...or MY top choice if no one responds.
Step 4: Write about the experience.
Step 5: Start all over again. Search again within 2-3 days of last event.

Mind you, I'm in a small NC coastal town...so things might get interesting...like carving ducks and chasing wild island ponies in order to take pictures. I'm going to be open to everything....that fits my schedule.

Current listings according to my schedule:

2. The Carolina Girls Bookclub invites girls of all ages to join us for our Launch Party-- Jan 14
About the Carolina Girls:This is not your average book club. The CG's will focus on a great North Carolina authors, but instead of discussing the books with each other, we will go straight to the source.Each month we will have different authors from across North Carolina visit to answer our questions, share their inspiration, and a few laughs during a Carolina Girls Happy Hour.

3.Gathering Time Concert--Jan 15

Ok, these aren't as fun as some future events I see, like a start your own beehive class, Cheers and Beers night, trip to a waterfowl park with photographers, meditation with unitarians, coin club meeting, woodworkers meeting, bingo night, all through to February. So, help me choose. Which of the four listed should I do? Make requests of what I should be required to do when I go...like conversation pieces or songs I should sing (choice 4), or things I should bring or wear.
