Party Time
For weeks, I’d been mulling over whether to go to a fundraiser at the other end of town. I’d already bought a ticket, but I felt good about the donation, and my attendance seemed secondary. Plus, it was on a Sunday, a perfect evening to be cozy at home. The day before the event, a married couple I know called to say they’d be happy to be my chauffeur (and I’d have someone to walk in with), and there went my final excuse. As it turned out, I had fun.

It seems to be true that sometimes the things you try to talk yourself out of end up being really fun. Not always the case, but I have found this to be true in many cases. Good for you for going and I’m glad you enjoyed yourself!
Since I was not in control of the ride home, I ended up staying a lot longer than I would’ve on my own. I’m glad it was a good party.
