I went out!!!
Okay, so yeah, I need a new circle of friends! And yeah, I had no one to go with and no plan of where to go!!! But, I went anyway. I promised myself, after all. I've promised so many people in the past so much and it was for nothing...so I was not going to break a promise to myself!!! I had fun. I went out. Yeah, it was a bit lonely by muyself. And no, I didn't meet a guy (at all) and not THE guy or a GREAT guy..but I danced a couple of songs, enojyed my time away from kids and pups...it was good.
That being said, yes...I cried before I left. Because, I'm alone and it was a bit lonely to step out alone. And yeah, I cried because I felt a little damned lame...
Then I got over it. Reminded myself that I had promised myself!!! NO, the world didn't move, nothing wonderous happened!! But you know, I had some time to myself, adult time, away from all the stress. I danced a couple songs, talked with a couple of guys (people) and it was good. I'm good.
I will wake up in the morning the same gal that needs to study for an Arabic testy Monday and do laundry that I was before I went....and I can't tell you exactly how miraculous that actually is...it is just...miraculous!!!
I am proud, to be me, to go out and be me and to come home, go to bed, and wake up me!!!

I am SO impressed. That\'s absolutely fantastic. I like that thought about always promising everybody else for little results so why not go through with a promise to yourself. That\'s a good way of looking at it.
Yay, you!!! Both now and in the morning :-)
This is wonderful - I wish I would go out dancing but I haven\'t a clue where to go for \"older\" adults - in their 40\'s - around here. Hmmm maybe I should look around?? Keep it going!!! xxx
I admire you for going out. It does hit home though when you go out alone. I do good with it sometimes, and other times I do not. Nice you got to dance. I love to dance, and it does bring me some happiness.
Very proud of you!
That\'s fantastic Rani! I\"m glad you got out there and enjoyed yourself! I am sorry I didn\'t pick up your message on my phone.. it doesn\'t always detect chats on it. I\'ll have the computer up all day so send me a msg and I\'ll get to it. I\"m so glad you had a good time!
WOW, Impressive, as social as I am and I am VERY social, it would be hard for me to go out alone, but you DID IT. That is super cool. I don\'t know where in the South you live, but you can come over next Saturday for Chinese New Year dinner ;)
OMG I am so impressed and also a little envious, I don\'t have the guts to do that and I wish I had.
Big kudos to you!
You are most definitely my hero of the day xx
