expand my social circle

a friend of a friend, that participated in a book club I was in, had a girls night in. She invited some friends I didn’t know and I had a blast. I really think that a couple of the girls were really nice. One is a transplant like myself. She is from NO,LA…she is learning her way. I might try to get in touch with her to see if she wants to do some other things on occasion. She said she tries to find things to do in the area, and since we are both kind of newbies I think it our personalities could work.

Joined 2 groups on meetup.com. Native NYers and a Bowling group. Looking forward to hanging and meeting some new people.

Went to my first get together with the girls and had a ball at Busboys & Poets. The ladies all really enjoyed their food, so that is a plus. At the last place, Duke’s City, it was not so good. We all get along well and we are talking about doing a cruise, weekend get aways and all of that. I am excited. Plus they are a group of older women. I tend to be the youngest in many of the groups I hang with. It is all good. Something else to look forward to….

Well, I am in the book club 1st Fri of each month. I am doing this social circle the 3rd Fri of each month. Bible study on Mons & Weds and working on doing some alumni events maybe once a month in my tri-state area. So, doing my part. I inquired about a 30+ soccer club, but don’t really have the money to commit to the fees involved right now. Plus, not only is it fees, but cleats, shin guards, etc. So, that might be later. Once they begin practices I should be in a better place.

But the circle is opening up . . .

do some of the things on my list, my social circle will open automatically. Like playing soccer again, learning to knit/crochet, the book club, doing yoga . . . I will meet new people at all of these events. Not that I am going to be best friends w/ everyone I meet, but I am bound to connect with one person and maybe it might be a group dinner/movie, or whatever, but it will certainly open things up a bit.
