Well I finally did some GAL things. I joined a book club, it's with a few people from work so there was still a comfort safety net there, I sat with them, didn't really mix with anyone new. But it was very interesting. Also went on a wine tour to 4 local wineries (can't go wrong there) but again I had a safety net - it was with my sisters. I haven't done anything out on my own yet. But I did have fun at both those events.
