Welcome to Soxy's Diamond

You may or may not know me from my other blog, SoxyLady. Chances are - you don't. SoxyLady was created out of my love for the Boston Red Sox. I wanted to blog about the team and my love for the boys of summer. I haven't completely given that up. The thing is there are so many amazing Sox bloggers out there and I just couldn't compete with them. Writing about the Sox has to be timely and I don't always have the time to research, write and post a blog.


I decided about 8 months or so ago that I was going to branch out SoxyLady. The thing is, it always felt strange writing posts about things other than the Red Sox, on my "Sox" blog. I started thinking about my friends blogs - and stalking reading their friends blogs and things just sort of evolved. I finally realized 1) most of my SoxyLady followers are Red Sox fans and don't care about the daily goings-on of my life 2) the people who are there and read about the daily goings-on of my life don't necessarily care about the Red Sox. So I knew I needed to start a new blog and dedicate it to "me" - which meant I needed a good name. Ahhh the pressure!

After weeks of debating and pestering my friends I decided the name of my new blog would be "Soxy's Diamond."

Why?

Well, the baseball diamond is a second home, of sorts, to baseball players. And, most of the the stories I tell about said players would come from the dimaond. This new blog is going to be the story of me. Stories from my home, stories from my life (plus hell - I love diamonds so it sounded cool to me!)

I'm going to write about trying to become a domesticated wife - you know getting really into the cooking and cleaning thing. My husband will help - he's good like that - but I want to feel a little bit of Martha in my daily life.

I'm going to have 101 goals to complete in 1,001 days, (idea came from stalking reading Wishcake's blog, and this site: http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/default.asp) and track my progress.

I'm going to work on my photography hobby (which will surly be one of my 101 goals) and post my progress (or lack there of).

I'm going to take a stab at video blogging ('cause I'm bummed to have missed out on this challenge).

Let's be real, I'm going to be posting an absurd amount of pictures of my Boston Terrier, Spike. (Just Sayin')


Honestly - I'm just going to write about whatever the heck I feel like writing about. I used to have tons of journals - but I'd go through phases and throw them away or burn them - or rip out the pages because my handwriting was too messy (don't get me started on how many notebooks I had to keep in school!!). I would love looking back and remembering inane details of a certain day and still being able to feel the way I felt "back then." So this certainly isn't a new idea, but it's my new journal. I hope you come along for the ride!
