Sometimes, introvert trumps.
It's actually not easy, for me, to go to a soiree. There is some history of going to soirees now, and it's all good. So it appears the urge to stay out of crowds is deeply ingrained indeed.

As I move around, I keep doing that, until I really can't. I don't know what makes me hit that limit. Fortunately, I'm not the only girl with that strategy.
It's just one more thing I don't understand about myself.
I met some new girls, and one spouse who had never gone out with her partner before, and I met Beth's partner, and I had a nice chat with Steffi. I got to spend some time with our hosts, Pamela and Chris ~ always a high point of my evening.
There were many more, including, of course, Sharon, who was nice enough to drive us there.
And there was a crowd. The picture above shows the girls who didn't mind having their picture taken (some did; some spouses didn't want to be in pictures).

Just a couple of fun stories from people I talked to.
ReplyDeleteOne married CD was leaving the house dressed and her wife said, "Are you wearing that?" She [the wife] didn't care that her husband was going out dressed; she just thought that her dress was way too short. And one of the CD couples (CD and wife) that came together. They did a little accessorizing at the mall before arriving. And just before leaving, they both re-did their lipstick and it appeared to be the same color. I asked them if they were sharing the same tube of lipstick, and they acknowledged that they were. So cool!
