I went up to the outlet mall in Park City with some of my girl friends this week. We shopped for a few hours and then went out to dinner. We spent a lot of money and had a great time. I love hanging out with the ladies and chatting about kids, husbands, whatever... it's a great stress reliever for me and I come home recharged and ready to go again.

My only problem is when I get home I start to think. Did I talk too much? Did I ask so and so about themselves? Was that one thing I said rude? Did I hurt her feelings? Should I call and apologize? On and on.

I seriously agonize after these things. I love seeing my friends and hanging, but I worry about everything I said and did after.

Maybe this comes from some part of my childhood or high school years. I think I was a nerd. Not sure, but I could definitely have been.

Or maybe the blue part of my personality worries way too much about what other people think.

Or, maybe I have deep psychological issues that require medication.

So there are my confessions. A glimpse into my inner psyche for all to read online.

I feel better already.



Oh yeah, and for anyone who wasn't sure, this wasn't a blog from Matt.

   I do this after EVERY social interaction. I always worry if I've said something stupid (usually true).
   
   But I don't think it's because we're crazy. Just female. Which, I guess is kind of the same thing sometimes.

   I am the same way- I think it is just the way female's are wired. At least I hope it is, but reading your confession gave me hope. :)

   I hear you! I do the same thing and it all comes from that desire that we (I always thought is was some weird Orton gene--guess not:) want to make every one happy. So nope you are not crazy unless you consider the Orton's crazy than, well, you are!
   Glad to hear it wasnt' Matt shoppin' with his gal pals:)

   Okay, you totally weren't a nerd! Hey, isn't girls night the one time you can be crazy and it's acceptable in society?
