Chicken or Egg?

I am weirdly having a situation whereby you think something (or rather, resolve to something) and it happens. But I am stuck here wondering which is it - chicken or the egg? Would the situation I am currently ruminating about have happened even if I had never decided I needed to be more proactive? Or is it because I actually was proactive about it that I am now in a little bit of a predicament?

So, one of the new year's resolutions was to have a little more fun and get out more often. So, I have been accepting invites and sometimes sending out some of my own by getting in touch with my friends that I do not see enough of by any estimation. It has been slow and sometimes, there are times that I really just want to stay in and read a good book or catch up on some television shows that I have been longing to see.

It is next weekend, though, that has me pulling my heart out and pondering how best to schedule 48 hours and making it last for more than 96 (yes, I am talking about doubling it). It seems that as soon as I decided to be bold and buy some tickets for my mom and I to spend the evening enjoying one of her activities (i.e. listening to Barry Manilow in concert), I had the option of attending a VIP Burlesque evening (and if you know nothing else about me, you'll know that the later is the kind of thing that I live for. Hello, chance to wear corsets and high heels!). If I thought two options were bad that weekend, I have since been invited to a free whisky tasting event, a birthday party for a close friend's daughter (nothing so fun as cake and kids, especially when you get to take some of the cake home and the kids get to be cute around you, until you are tired of it), and plans to meet up with a friend in West Palm. So, yeah, it looks like it might be a pretty busy weekend and I wanted to live a life that was a little more exciting, but hectic was not what I planned. Oh, well, c'est la vie!
