Well I did it. I joined a meet up group called: Ladies, Short Stories, and Cocktails! They meet once a month on a Thrs. night. I am going in early October. Very excited. We are reading stories by John Cheever. I haven't started them yet but I plan to get through them shortly. The first thing that popped in my head though was the Seinfeld episode called the Cheever's letters. Kramer burned down Susan's Dad cabin and all was left was the Cheever letters...yeah I digress. But that's what came to mind right away.
I joined some other meet-up groups...one about cooking, another girl social and one about coffee and chocolate. Hopefully I will have a bunch of upcoming adventures soon and I get out of the house more.
Hope everyone had a great 9-9-09 today. (I just had to mention it!!)

I can't think about John Cheever without thinking the EXACT SAME THING!
"Dear Henry, last night with you was bliss. I fear my orgasm has left me a cripple..."
"Yes! Yes, he was the most wonderful person I've ever known. And I love him deeply! In a way you could never understand.."
Oh that was such a GREAT episode!
I am interested in reading his stories..so maybe I will think of him as a writer too.
All the new groups you are joining sound fun! I don't belong to anything--except sometimes I attend a pug group meeting (very rarely--sometimes the people there are weird) and I have been invited to join a book club but it seems to only meet every 3 months so I haven't actually attended any meetings. Sometimes I think I should start my own book & cocktail club.
All the groups I found were listed through this website: http://www.meetup.com/ They have everything. You can list all your interests and they will contact you when something new starts. I am excited to broaden my horizons. Than's what life is about--Right?
