While we were there, the ladies invited me to their book club meeting they were having last night. I
Before you go thinking that I'm super brave to walk into a group of 10 strangers, I should let you know that several of the ladies there were people that I know from an Internet wives group I've been part of for a while. Anyway, I had so much fun! It was great to meet lots of people I've been emailing with for a few years and also to meet others as well! All of the ladies were so friendly and I felt like I fit in with them, which is nice. This particular group also does a Mexican night every so often in addition to the book club, so I'm hoping that hanging with this group will be a regular thing for me.
Its so nice to have time to myself and be able to get out of the house without AJ for a while. Sure, I go run errands on the weekend while D stays home with AJ, but this was actual ME time where I wasn't trying to get anything done and get home. I got to just sit, gossip about reality TV and laugh with {new} friends!
I am also excited to have a book to read for the next book club meeting! Its part of a series and after reading the blurb, I'm not sure how much I'll like it, but the last time I read a series (ahem, Twilight) I didn't think I'd like it either and I ended up enjoying it.
What do you do to meet new people when you move? Do you belong to any book clubs or other groups?
I look forward to Book Club every month! And we rarely talk about the book...it's just a chance to drink sweet tea and for the moms in the group to get some time for themselves :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look for a book club when we move to Ft. Lewis this Fall. I miss having a group of girlfriends to talk with!
ReplyDeleteI just weaseled my way into a local book club. My first day will be in a couple of weeks - I'm stupid excited about it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you came! I hadn't been to IHOP in so long I'm ready to go back. Just wait for The Sly Fox next month, it's seriously my favorite place around here!
