My dance card is brimming over with social. And I am not sure how to handle such things. For the first 54 years of life I had a few close friends--though I'd like to think I still do--and we saw each other when we saw each other. It wasn't complicated.
This whole Southern Social Thing though!!!
I made the conscious decision not to say yes to any more social events this year. I have plenty right now.
- Thanksgiving
- My two leave-the-state trips in December
- Polly's graduation
- Christmas
- Polly's two concerts
One (of three) book clubs--though I'm hating the book and may just pass.The heck with it!- Lunch bunch Christmas party
- Master Gardener Christmas party (I may pass on this too).
- A lunch date with Joy
- A lunch date with Val
- Marty's birthday
- Marty's company Christmas party
- A family trip to see Christmas lights in Washington Arkansas (30 miles away)
- Though I tried to get out of it--Deb's prayer group's Christmas party. Deb has a way of guilting me like nobody since Bonus Mom has ever been successful at doing.
The Ladies' Auxiliary Christmas party.Well, let me just nip that one in the bud.
Sadly, I'm missing this year's Corona New Year's party. I will be out of town. That actually is one event I wouldn't mind going to. Fortunately, I will see them all at the Lunch Bunch Christmas Party and Deb's prayer group's Christmas party. Plus, as I write this, my phone is blowing up--again--with group texts. This is kind of a daily thing.
There was a time I said yes to every social event that came my way. The next six weeks is a byproduct of that. This isn't a complaint. I like the people I'm with. However, I'm ready for a long winter's nap.
