Girls Night Out
Mar 01
I’m a very social person – that has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with since becoming a work at home mom (missing the social interaction). You would think that because I know how much of a social person I am that I would make sure to take the time to get out and do it. But I don’t. At least not as often as I should.
And I don’t know many people down here (my fault for not getting out and getting involved in things so that I can meet people) other than my best friend, her husband and then some girls she works with. One of the goals I have that I need to really start taking some action on is meeting people. My church is huge and has a singles group for the 30 and over. I’m a bit nervous to get involved because I don’t like to just get out there and do things on my own…I’ve always met people by tagging along with others. And the singles group is huge! I’m on the email list and I shudder at the thought of all those people and meeting them by myself! Of course I’m sure some of them on the email list don’t attend every event, etc but still it’s a huge group of people that I would have to get to know.
Anyways….now that I got totally side tracked. I enjoyed a couple hours of socialization tonight and it was wonderful. I went out for dinner with B, her cousins T and B. We went to my fave Mexican place and the restaurant alone makes you smile. You walk in and it’s so bright. The colors on the booths, etc stand out that’s for sure. The decorations are fun. The waiters and waitresses are great (although tonight our waitress wasn’t all that great and that was disappointing because usually we have one that is fun and talks to us. She didn’t speak hardly 2 words and when she did we couldn’t understand because her English was really bad!). It’s just a fun place!
Here are a couple pics from tonight:

I really need to start making more time for in person socialization. Yes I love my Twitter Peeps and all my online friends but I need to be around people too that’s for sure. So I’m going to start scheduling in some socialization time every week!
How about you – how often do you meet up with people and socialize?
Look how stunning you look!!!
I am also very social – if I dont go out I start feeling rather tense!!!
LOL and so convenient – we have twitter meets every 2 weeks at the moment so its the combining of 2 worlds

I love your hair! But then again you always have a cute hair style.
I am very social too. I love getting together with friends to do something. We used to have bbq’s at our place every weekend but that stopped (it just faded away) and I see or talk to my girlfriends here at least daily. Sometimes there is too much interaction and I place myself in an awkward situation of not answering the door because I have too much to do! LOL

Glad you had a nice time. Great pictures!
We don’t go out a lot but every few months I like to meet up with some of my online friends. When we go out though I’m social but I’m a homebody and prefer it that way most of the time.

I became a stay at home in 1997 at age 27. I had lots of friends, who as soon as I had kids, became distant from me. Either their kids were already teenagers or they didn’t have any. Finally, I met a neighbor who had kids in very close age to mine, and we hit it off. She really was my only close friend at that time, but then we decided to buy a house up here in the sticks. We relocated from Oakland county to a place where I only know relatives. It’s been really hard getting to know people up here and I do miss the social life very much. It really doesn’t help that my husband is a homebody. I do get together with family a lot though. We recently took my mom to Garland for her birthday and had a blast. Sure wish we could do that more often….
