Well, La Tee Dah--

That's about all I have to comment about my first singles activity I have been to in almost a year. I went to the beginning of a week's activity for a Multi-stake Adult Singles Conference at the Wilkinson Center. I decided I needed to mingle a little more than just sitting at my computer, checking out the single's websites.

Someone (a well meaning friend, Julie W.) told me recently, that unless I got up close and could see them eye to eye, or maybe tell what they smelled like it didn't count. Duh! Good insight, right? Yeah, she really said that unless I could tell if they used deodorant or after shave lotion how could I tell if I would even like the person. Good point.

I usually don't publicize incidents such as this, but I actually had fun and met some very nice people--men and women. I went to a fireside a couple of months ago and sort of mingled afterwards; but I was with Mary Gwen, and she was kind of "closed" about meeting new people so I just didn't hang out talking to people like I could tonight.

There is an activity tomorrow night sort of like a fireside at a chapel by Costco in Orem, with a keynote speaker and then a dance at the McKay events center. People asked me if I was going to be there to the dance so I think I will at least check it out and have fun. It is good for it to be light, nothing serious or a planned date or anything, I will just go to get acquainted and socialize.

And in case anyone is wondering, there ARE quality men out there. I met several and believe me, they are not the 'loser' types. I consider myself a winner, so I think that is something going in my favor and will draw the same kind of individual to me.

What amazed me is that both younger, same age men and older than me talked to me
and were comfortable to just sit and chit chat. I must have either really made an impression or I am in a better space than before which is about the best way to describe it.
