I've Been A Party Animal !!!! ( A Little Long)
I know y'all don't believe me, frankly I've been looking in the mirror trying to find out who is this woman myself. I've never been a party animal. When I was young, I went to the club but I held the purses because my friends were the desirable ones and I usually ended up with the ugly short guys. I wasn't fat then except in my mind and had a healthy dose of low self esteem.
I realized last weekend when I was at my 25th yr class reunion that no one noticed much difference in me because when I graduated, I was 6'3 and about 185.Now I'm 6'3 and fluctuate between 175 and 181. That was a BIG eye opener for me because I always thought I was HUGE in high school because I had to wear men's jeans and pants for the 36" inseam.
I danced a few songs and even had a little rhythm but my hubby took a picture and his exact words to me were, " bless your heart, you were having fun but now I have a picture of the rhythm-less nation".
This past weekend, I did my college homecoming. I could only do the AKA breakfas****CH the stroll off and a min-step show on the yard and tailgating. I saw some of my line sisters that I haven't seen in 21 yrs. I came home took a shower and slept for 15 hrs straight.
This party animal didn't go to the parties or the big step show but I did more the past 2 weekends than I've done in years.
I will not do another function until my hubby's Christmas party IF I'm still speaking to him. I was showing him some pictures and I said that I had gained so much weight (4 lbs actually) and he said, " you can't really see it that much in these pictures". I know I walked into that, kinda like does these pants make me look fat? but I thought every man knew how to answer that, especially a man that has been married for 21 yrs. and knows his wife weighs daily and is neurotic about her weight !!!!! lol Party animal out .

So glad you went and had a good time. We may only be able to do but so much but we can learn to manage our energy. Thankfully, later we can sleep it off.
(Oh and thanks for letting me talk your ear off the other day. I was having one of those days nd really needed the distraction. )
