Going out three days in a row

Last night I went to a small get together people from work were having for one of the guys that used to work at the fire department, he's moving to northern Nevada, I was a little nervous about going, I don't hang out with the guys from work, I don't even think I have been to a bar with any of them before and definitely not as Susan so another first.
This was at a bar called the Martini Bay another place I have not ever been to, I parked in the parking lot and I saw mt LT and his wife so now I knew I had to go in, the bar was nice and dark a good thing for me, I had a blue top, my black skirt about 3 inches above the knees and my 3 inch heels,I walked in with them all watching me, there were ten people there only 3 from the fire dept, one from river med, the others were wife's and friends some I have never met before, sat down ordered a drink and we talked, Evey body was nice, about a hour later two more guys from work came in with their wife's, one of the guy's wife did not even recognize me that's a great feeling even if it is a dark bar, they had already been drinking so they (the guys) were a little more boisterous, one guy could not stop telling me how he was good with me and what ever makes me happy is good by him, even though it still freaks him out, so we talked a lot last night.
Two people from river med stopped in to say their goodbyes, one used to work at my fire dept, I think he was a little reluctant to say Hi or he was just unsure about me.
One of the guys is part owner in another Bar restaurant called Mario's so he invited us all over there, another place I have never been to before (I did not go out much before) he bought the first round, some of the girls were going out side to have a smoke and invited me even though I don't, so I went out with them talked a lot more, I think I was out there for half hour or more with people coming and going.
So I had a good night, I have a new friend to go makeup shopping with, I learned more about who I can trust at work and I was able to go out like a normal person.

One of the guys is the new local Union president, he offed his support and told me I did not have to worry about the union, very nice.

That was the third time out in the last 3 days, Wednesday I went to the fire dept board meeting with the Chief, secretary and about 8 firefighters, sure I got some looks I expect that and I like it anyway, every thing went fine, no problems.

Thursday night I went to Starbucks for coffee with the group, I wore my second shortest dress, do not bend over with this one, Then we went over to the Finish line bar to finish the night, a friend from Kingman was down so it was good to see and talk to her, I did play 2 games of pool, won one I think, I was a little distracted every time I had to bend over to shoot, it was fun though.

Today I am staying home to get ready for work unless someone calls to do something, I like this going out stuff, I am living again.

  1. LOL...just having visions of you having to stretch for a long pool shot. Did you notice any wandering eyes while you were shooting?

    Sounds like another milestone for you...another step in the journey of acceptance. Keep it up. :)Suzi
