This is perhaps dumb, but I'm going to a bridal shower for a woman who I used to live next door to and babysat as a little girl in the '90s. She was too young when we moved away to remember me, but she's grown up hearing all about me, my mom, and my sister, so I guess she wanted to invite us to her shower? It's surprising but sweet. Other than the bride and her mom, I won't know anyone there except my own mom (my sister can't make it). A gathering of strangers is pretty far out of my comfort zone, plus I'll be wearing a dress (which I normally don't do), but I'm determined to be charming and not awkward, and to have a nice time. So that's what I will be doing well this week.
A nice side effect is that it gives me an excuse to have my hair color touched up and get a pedi, so no complaints there!
That's great! It's really nice that she invited you the family obviously have lovely memories of you. You're really going outside of your comfort zone doing this which is great, plus it's an excuse to treat yourself
