How to be more social?

I am realizing that I need to be more social. I need to get out and do things with others. I like being at home and doing things around the house, but I am finding that I need to get out. This past weekend Chris and I went to two different movies. While I was sitting through the previews of "The Tourist" all that I could think about was how much fun this would be with friends too.

How do people do that? I know, just ask. How does someone get asked to do things? I know be more social. This is going to be one of my new goals in life, not just for this year but from now on. I want to do things.

My first step is to stay up a little later at night on the weekends. I am not in a rest home or eating dinner at 3:00pm. I am only 39 and I need to act that way. I need to get over my fears of going to new places and doing new things. I am ready, scared but ready.

LOOK OUT WORLD HERE I COME!!!!!!!!
