Last night, I left my men at home and attended a party.
I enjoyed exercising my social muscles: introducing myself, making conversation and having a laugh.
It was fun to meet new people and to hear their stories. Some stories tended towards the the mundane (i.e.: taxes) and others the absurd (i.e.: the misadventures of the pet ownership of rats). Either way, I was entertained.
Of course, the best part of any party is the de-briefing I share with my spouse the next day:)
