LOL Shiny...I would never consider one of your posts as "obnoxious bragging
H and I have come up with a plan of sorts to improve our social life...well, H came up with it and asked if I would be interested . The problem right now is the time of year and there is a great deal of expense involved. What we are hoping to do is get involved in Cowboy Action Shooting. H just got the last weapon we will need to get started ( he wants to get me a revolver of my own but I told him that could wait, I have no problem handling one of his) and the press we need for re-loading our own ammo (MUCH cheaper that way) should be in next week. That just leaves the period clothing...where I have run into a bit of a problem. Reproductions of women's period clothing is EXPENSIVE...a good dress typically runs 250.00! Then you have all the "frillies" that go underneath. Ugh! I told h I would get started with just a simple blouse and skirt but it is still going to be costly. He wants me to make my own dress...I can sew but the dresses of the 1880's weere a bit complicated
ANyway, doing this will hopefully help us get out there and meet people. It will also combine a number of our shared interests...shooting, history and a love for all things "Cowboy" I guess that last is to be expected...H is a Texan afterall
This will help me make more male friends to be sure...I just hope I can make a couple of female friends, THIS is a problem area for me. Barring the wonderful ladies I speak to on the BB... well, I just don't care for women a whole lot Most I encounter don't seem to care for me too much either I've never really been able to figure this one out...I know part of the problem is a trust issue but there is more...
