Journaling: I’m almost positive that I have officially lost My \u201clife of the party\u201d status. Since Julian and I have been together, parties are few & far between. It\u2019s not that we don\u2019t like social events..we just find other ways to entertain ourselves and have become pretty chilled out. This year, for Halloween, we were invited to not one, but TWO costume parties. It\u2019s been a long time, like I said..so we thought it would be fun to buy costumes and dress up for some fun times. I was totally psyched about wearing a costume for the first time in many years, and it was going to be equally exciting to see My husband all dresses up. After way too many hours of shopping online and otherwise, we both decided on costumes and were one step closer to party time. Julian decided to go as a Gynecologist & I was a Playboy bunny. My most anticipated piece of the costume were the black fishnet stockings with a pale pink seam down the back. Julian\u2019s favorite accessory was his very thick, black framed \u201cdoctor glasses\u201d. We were excited! Fast forward to a VERY busy weekend. My brother was getting married on Saturday evening, and we had the wedding rehearsal on Friday night. Well..one party was Friday night & the other..on Saturday. We\u2019d make it work..it was going to be too much of a blast not to. Friday night..we\u2019ve been to the wedding rehearsal and are rushing home to change into our cool costumes, in hopes of making it to the first party before all the fun happens. Problem #1 has just occurred. My costume..is very skimpy and it\u2019s cold outside and rainy. I\u2019m completely uncomfortable and my most favorite fishnets are cramping My style. Julian is rushing Me along because we\u2019re 2 hours late already and he\u2019s sure we\u2019re going to miss everything. I make the costume work..and we head off to the party. We\u2019re there..and we pretty much know about 5 people out of what seems like 50. It\u2019s cold..it\u2019s wet, it\u2019s awkward. Worst part of it was, the kids who showed up for a nice mixture of alcohol and obnoxiousness. I don\u2019t remember how many times I said to Myself and others..\u201dI\u2019m too old for this.\u201d Maybe I was feeling this way because I didn\u2019t know many people there..party #2 will be better for sure. Well, Saturday night is upon us and we\u2019re headed off to the second party where we also didn\u2019t know many people, but our good friends were hosting. We\u2019re at the party..it\u2019s totally crowded, larger than party #1. Seems like we\u2019ll have a cool time and enjoy ourselves with our friends that we brought along. We don\u2019t smoke, and I don\u2019t drink..so, to sum it up..I was bored out of My mind. I was again, freezing myself sick and breathing in more cigarette smoke than I ever have in My life when I decided..\u201dI really AM too old for this.\u201d Is that so bad? Needless to say, we left 30 minutes into party #2 and went to grab some munchies and head back to our friends house for a game of Scrabble. That\u2019s right..I\u2019m happier sitting around a table of 4, eating chips and dips and playing a board game, than being the life of the party.<\/p>\n
