I had the MOST WONDERFUL Thanksgiving Weekend and realized I'm not as old as just a week ago I feared I was! Something very scary happens in the process of growing up. I would call it getting "boring." That very thing has happened to me over the last couple of years. It's gotten to the point where my idea of a great night out was dinner at 6 followed by a couple of drinks at a local watering hole where I talk to only the friends I came with and home by 10 pm. I made no new friends. I never rolled out of the bar with a huge smile knowing I had just had one of the greatest nights ever. The worst part was that even taking it easy, I still got hangovers. It was so sad and until last Wednesday I was pretty sure this was my "social life."

It took a group a carefree friends to show me that "I've still got it!" And I do! Somewhere in the past couple of weeks I heard that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is THE night to go out. I made a decision then and there that if I couldn't live it up on that day, I would be boring for the rest of my life and the fun Becky that I knew in my early 20's was gone forever. A group of 9 people with the goal to have fun gathered at Remingtons for dinner and beer. After a wonderful time there we moved on to Captains. We drank a little beer and made the rounds chatting it up with EVERYONE!!! Then we proceeded to LUX where the night got interesting. I talked a girl out of breaking up with her boyfriend via text message after a few drinks. She called me wise. I am! I took over texting responsibility for a nice young man who's EX-girlfriend was trying to make him jealous. In the end she was the jealous one! Chalk another good deed up to ME. Then we busted a move on the dance floor! I should never be seen on the dance floor. Not because I WOW people with my crazy mad skills, but because I look like a train wreck when I try to dance! On Wednesday night it didn't even matter. I was having so much fun!

My night ended with a friend giving me a huge hug and asking me if I knew what he loved about me. The answer: EVERYTHING!!! I couldn't agree more. Fun Becky is back and I'm pretty sure the key is to just be determined to have the greatest night EVER, every time I go out!
