Saturday I had such a good day! I went to a Renaissance Faire! I was sooo scared to go because it was two hours away from my house and we (my bf and I) were going with a big group of people and none of us had been there before so I didn't know what it was going to be like. I was so worried about it Friday that I was trying to make excuses not to go. My bf sat down with me and we talked about all the things that I was worried about likepeople getting car sick, being in a strange place, being so far from home, PORTA POTTIES (do porta potties bother anyone else??? I HATE them and will not use them) and he helped me calm down and think aboutthings more rationally. I realized that we would be taking multiple cars so no one would be in the car with my bf and me, that helped A LOT.
SO Saturday morning despite the fact I had a stomach ache I went, and I had a really good time. I didn't even get nervous when one of the women said that her baby had been getting sick all morning (the baby wasn't coming with us). We got really lost and ended up driving in huge circles for like 45 minutes, and even though I wasn't feeling all that great I remained calm. Once we got inside, I was having such a fun time that I forgot all about my stupid stomach!! I even ate some faire food!! I am so glad I went, because I had become afraid to go far away from home lately, and now I feel a little less afraid. This is good since I want to go to a casino about 2 hours from my house on my 21st birthday in 2 months.
Well I just thought I'd share what I went through. It felt so good to have a normal day without worring! [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
