Hi Ladies
Well yesterday was the big day. I went back to a CD meeting. I haven't been in over three years. I got there and chickened out. I went drab and was going to change there.
The meetings used to be in a different location. It was in a hotel room and you changed in the bathroom and never had to leave the meeting room.
I showed up yesterday to the new meeting place. It is in a small banquet room and the changing room is down the hall. Ok, I could probably have handled that but! There was a wedding party going on in the banquet room across the hall. There had to be 100-150 people milling about and dancing.
I could not bring myself to go change and then walk past to get to the meeting. I was trembling at the mere thought of being around all those people.
No I did not bring anything sort of flaunty outfit. It was a black pants outfit, with long jacket. Conservative white top with a slight ruffle front and short boots with 3" heels. Even brought a brunette wig in stead of a flashy blonde one.
I probably would not have stood out, like the 6'4" blonde that walked in a red skirt outfit and blonde hair.
I just got so scared about being around all those people I left and came home. I didn't even eat the prime rib dinner. I just ran back to the safety of the house.
Call me a chicken. Next month is the fashion show. Hopefully the place will not be as full of people. I used to be able to walk down the halls, ride the elevators, even drive to and fro dressed with no problem. I don't have that courage that I used to. It will take time for me to build back up to that level.
Hugs
Donna Louise
