This Blog Needs a Focus

Sorry blog. I've neglected you. This isn't really the old xanga days anymore where I can just rehash my day...my weekend...or every detail of I've been up to lately because we have the facebook "status" for that now. So what is your purpose really? So a few ideas off the top of my head:

1) Relationship blog - Seems that out of all my xanga entries back in college, the ones where I openly talked about my relationship issues got the most hits. Alas, I'm not in college anymore and divulging personal details of that aspect of my life might not go so well with Joe. Not to mention that after 4 plus years, I can't say that my love life is THAT exciting. But perhaps I can still offer some nuggets of knowledge without revealing too much? I don't know...i'll have to think about this one.

2) Deals and Steals blog - Who doesn't love a good deal right? It used to feel like such a triumph to find a sale on something that I had been eyeing a while. I even posted (shamelessly) my "outfit of the day" on the purseblog (don't all laugh at once) and detailed how little I spent on an outfit. I think I my record was $20 head to toe? But let's face it. My colorful closet somehow transitioned to black, white, and grey pieces as I subconsiously took Joe's "are you really going to wear that??" comments to heart. It didn't help that our closet size shrank to half of what we used to have. And to add to that, my recent weight gain hasn't made it too much fun to go shopping anyway. Darn. There goes the deals and steals idea...

3) Real Estate blog - Ok, I'm not an expert or anything. But I did always consider that if I weren't an engineer, perhaps I could be a real estate agent on the side. After all, I spend alot of my free time looking at new apartments to rent (I move to a new apartment every year) and as of late, houses and condos. Even now that we've already purchased a place, I still can't stop looking. I'm a stickler for details and over-research/study whatever I happen to be interested at the time. Even our builder's agent said I'm their most "consciencious" buyer (what she really means is that I'm her most annoying buyer). So this could work no? Maybe? Possibly?

How about let's just marry the three. I'll write about what I'm wearing whenever I go to open houses? Or detail the disagreements Joe and I had during our house search?

ayayay...
