Wearing Big Girl Panties (avoid becoming the “crazy cat lady” of your neighborhood)

Sisters are doing it for themselves
You know what? I do lots of stuff by myself. Eating in restaurants, going to the movies, going to concerts and shows, and generally doing whatever the Hell I may feel like doing. About the only thing I haven’t done alone is going on vacation. That just doesn’t sound like much fun. Anyway, the point is, I am not hiding in my apartment instead of going out and doing things alone.

I love you, Don’t call me
That being said, I have been known to hide in my apartment rather than go out and do anything, alone or not. All clear on that? Yes, well, what I mean is, I find that I enjoy my alone time and I don’t always need to go out and find entertainment. The trick is to find the balance. Not always easy. I spend a lot of time being social for work. When I am on my own time, I find that I don’t want to be very social. So I’m not.

The Name Game
Being the new girl in town (and after a year, I really can’t keep calling myself a new girl), I can count on one hand the people in town that would be able to pick me out of a line up. This causes concern only because I feel like I should have done a little better than that in 12 months time. To be fair, I have spent a lot of time traveling. That’s why this thing is called Vegas Gypsy and not Vegas Hermit or Shut In or Anti-social extrovert (?), or something equally weird.

So, quit worrying about me. I have my big girl panties on and I’m not missing out on anything that I haven’t decided to miss out on. And I couldn’t possibly become a crazy cat lady because I don’t like cats and I travel too much to keep an animal anyway. Crazy Dust Bunny Lady might be more likely.
