Had forgotten how much I dislike large groups of people where I dont know a soul. Nothing makes me feel as disconnected. Our realtors wife was speaking at a Womens Luncheon and I wanted to meet her. Was afraid she would be a new age abundance person, just another form of Capitalism. But she was powerful and real. I had to stand up. Introduce myself to the table. They had all published books, which by the way what is up with me knowing so many published authors all of a sudden. I told them I unpack boxes. Didnt mention that I spend an inordinate amount of time on Facebook while watching a record breaking amount of television. And there were things to buy, but I cant do retail therapy after seeing all the stuff I had. Faux paus number one:mentioning to the woman I called this am to see if the event was really sold out. Asked her if Yoga pants were okay. No business casual or I might feel uncomfortable.. Scrambled around to find business casual. Told the story to two women there and realized one had on black leggings and the other Yoga pants. Then I wondered what I was doing with so many middle aged and older women, then realized I was on the older end of the spectrum. Ah youth, I left you in Austin. A bit of an adjustment to go from such a young city to one where people are my age. And they gave out killer prizes, but I had no business cards. I did end up sitting by one of the token men, who sells solar paneling. So Craig and I will contact him. The Country Club was gorgeous. It just is here. I feel lonelier than I ever did in the Yucatan or Washington/Oregon. And certainly more than Austin. What would make me think there would be no adjustment period? I just want to commit Carbicide and eat sweets.
