Well... I finally got the nerve to go to a CD gathering last weekend! YEA! :battingeyelashes::D:battingeyelashes:
I went to the Girls Night Out at the Funky Skunk in Warren Ohio Saturday night (thanks for the invite Marsha Clark) and I had the most wonderful time! I was genuinely surprised at how many girls were there! It's a really well attended event. Everyone of them was so nice and welcoming to a new girl I wasn't the only newbie either). It was just so nice to get out and meet others that share this unique thing that we do. All shapes, sizes and ages were represented.
I didn't know what to expect as far as how to dress so I dressed fairly conservatively, wearing a nice pleated grey skirt and simple purple blouse with mid-length sleeves. My wife was nice and did my nails for me and helped me get my makeup just right. I picked out a pair of silver strapped pumps and I was set. Its about a 40 minute drive from my house to the Funky Skunk and driving dressed is another new experience for me. I needed gas for the drive so I decided to make another first (for me) and go to my local gas station in full dress. Everything went well... I'm getting to like this being out thing better and better. When I arrived at the club I found out that my worries about how I was dressed were all for nothing. I could have worn anything from the plainest male clothing to the wildest female outfit. Everybody fit in... I spent the evening roaming the room meeting many new people (I even remember most of their names). I truly love to talk to people about life and what makes the world go around for them. I enjoyed myself immensely... I cannot wait for the next event.
I can only encourage others to work up the nerve and get yourself out to an event like this in your area. I don't know what took me so long to do it, I'm just sorry that it did... I've pretty much made my mind up to quit worrying about what others will think and just live life for myself, while I still can. Remember that you can do it too.....:)
