On Sunday, I am having a Mary Kay party. I am mostly having it to get together with some girls from work. Shane wasn't too excited about having half a dozen nurses over on Sunday afternoon, but I went on with it anyway. Well, last night, a new plan developed, as the girls all decided that we would meet up our guys at another girl's house after the party and we would have dinner and play games and just have a fun little party. Everyone was into it. I must say that I am just barely an extrovert. I tend to be a little shy at first, but open up in time and can at least fake it pretty good when I am in a social situation I find awkward. Shane is not an extrovert, as he recently pointed out to us. Those who know him are well aware. It makes it hard sometimes, as neither of us are tremendously outgoing. So, anyway, at the news of the extended party, I knew Shane would be...apprehensive and not very happy with me when I shared our plans for Sunday evening with him. And he was...apprehensive. But, it's hard, because how am I supposed to say no, we can't get together, when I kind of want to and I don't want to have to explain and have it be all weird and uncomfortable. So, the article recommends that I probably shouldn't press him and force him into uncomfortable situations, I want him to go out on a limb for me and go with me on Sunday. I would like for us to meet some people and do something different on the weekend and to have a good time doing it. So, we'll see what happens.
