Excerpt from a Social-life

It’s a tough job being a socialite, but someone’s gotta do it, right?

The past four days felt like a whirlwind of mixing and mingling and meeting people.

I hosted a meetup for my local group kicking off Thursday at the Morris Tap & Grill. We were joined by another group in the area and even had some samplings from Bolero Snort Brewery! I’m so happy to hear much everyone enjoyed it.

Friday night I popped by the neighbor’s for some pre-Cinco de Mayo cocktails and quickly found myself in the midst of a college frat party!

At first I felt like if they were to card me I’d get kicked out, but it too turned out to be a really fun night … and with the greatest neighbors in the whole town how could it go wrong? :D

Saturday night started off with an A Capella Invitational at a local high school. What an awesome experience it was. All of the kids were so talented and Street Corner Symphony, from The Sing-off season 2, drove all the way from TN to perform!

Check them out and buy some tunes. They were truly entertaining.

Met some friends for a late night bar crawl and finally got to check out the new late night grilled cheese place in town.

And let me just say, there is nothing so horrifying as a grilled cheese at 2am under intensely bright lights when it’s humid, rainy and your over heating cus you just danced your ass off.

A weekend to remember for sure, but now … time to prepare for my upcoming social calendar and see if I can actually fit in time for everything else too!

Wish me luck!!

New Town Girl

Hello friends & followers,
If you haven’t been keeping up with me on Twitter or Facebook you may not have heard, but I’ve moved!
It happened very all of a suddenly. I’d been talking about how much I’d love to find a new apartment in a town, where I could walk to shops and night life. Something little city, Morristown to be exact. A charming apartment in a back neighborhood … something with character.
Well, just as my lease was about to expire I stumbled upon exactly what I’d dreamt up. In my price range even!
I’m nearly sellted in, but for a few boxes (okay about 8), but I’m in no rush.
I don’t know many people in the area outside of coworkers and a couple who’ve become close friends so I’ve been looking for ways to make more friends. Meet some locals, activity (drinking) buddies to get me out and exploring this bar-hopping town.
I’ve joined a couple groups on meetup and even attempted to leverage my dating profiles, which didn’t have much success.
I assume you all have some words of advice. Any suggestions for this 30 something, single, shy in new surroundings girl to make friendly with the locals?
Mind you as I type this I’m sitting in the Laundromat … a potentially normal place to meet locals, but as it turns out they all speak Spanish and I do not! :/
Why does it become more of a challenge the older we get to make new friends? I assume if I had children I could leverage them, but alas I haven’t found any worth keeping … joke!!
Share you thoughts, tips and secrets!
