My Friendship Cup Runneth Over

I've been feeling sorry for myself and my self-imposed semi-seclusion to study for exams for the last 6 months. I didn't exclude all socialization, but that was always a consideration and a limiter. Well, after feeling sorry for myself, I pointed out to myself that my social life probably hadn't changed that much. Get a grip, chica.
I take it back -- it has. Perhaps by coincidence, perhaps because it's my first weekend back in the big kids pool, I am booked up almost every night from now 'til Tuesday. Tonight, there's a book club meeting after work (I haven't read the book, obviously, but it's other women in the industry, so I should network). Tomorrow, it's dinner with a friend. Friday, drinks with other friends. Saturday, movie party with friends. Sunday, birthday lunch with family. Monday, more drinks (possibly dinner) with friends. (The one marginally "negative" side affect of having a variety of friendship circles is that socialization requires multiple excursions. As you can see.)
I'm actually looking forward to the furor to die down so I can get to knitting a couple hats for friends and catching up on the umpteen DVDs and TiFauxed shows that I have gathering dust.

Sounds like y'all shore do drink a bit there in the big city!

Knitting time is precious. But so is good times with good friends.

To keep things in perspective, I went out with the bookclub to have drinks and had one mediocre and overpriced (I got there after happy hour ended) margarita.
Although I'm not saying I'm a lightweight (I'm not), I think most of our get-together-and-chat plans are called "go out for drinks" mainly as an excuse, not a requirement.

Anne, don't be a liar, liar, pants on fire.

We all know you're out drinking up a storm every single night, dancing on the tables, and painting the town.

Okay, probably not. But it's fun to think about...

Hee! Janiece, don't go tellin' on me! ;)

'Cause I'm that rare breed that has an online personality that is less adventurous and bold than my real-life personality. Riiight.

We did NOT dance on tables as we do have some dignity. We did paint the town; a nice coordinating color against the mountains....
