Comfort Zone and Holiday Home Tours

I am sooooo stepping out of my comfort zone. Not sure why but I have always been kind of a shy person almost painfully shy, really some people thing I am just being stubborn but hey it has kept me out of trouble up to this point so I don't think it is all that bad.

But anyways....

A couple of weeks ago I was feeling kind of depressed, call it hormones or boredom not really sure which, but I was looking down the barrel of a long 6 months with having lots and lots of weekends to myself. (Daniel started a new work schedule and works Friday thru Monday 11 am to 9:30 pm) It was my first true weekend with nothing to do and I get bored very easily. Yeah sure I could clean house but that really doesn't sound like fun when you are the only person who is going to look at it. So after a weekend of being aggravated and discouraged cause I don't really have a lot of friends that I can call and say "Hey let's do something"

(OK pretty much I don't have any, but that is another blog that I might share some other time)

I received an email about helping out with the LifeChoices Holiday Homes Tour. My first reaction was to say no and I had lots of reasons:
1. I don't know anybody and don't want to get stuck by myself
2. Gas
3. Lazy
4. Not exactly my cup of tea.
And I am sure if I sat long enough would come up with more.

But then just as I was about to move on to the next email, the little voice in my head said "Weren't you just complaining about not having anybody to do stuff with and not really having anything to do anyways"

Sooooo next thing I knew I was hitting reply and signing up for not just one 2 hour shift but TWO 2 hours shifts. Oh I know that there will be people I know working along side of me but still it almost took both hands to get me to hit that reply button.

So stay tuned cause I will let you know how this all turns out and if you want to witness it for yourself I am selling tickets, well really the tickets are for you to tour 4 homes that will be decorated for the holidays, but still I am sure it will be well worth the price of admission to come see me out of my element, dare I say worth $20.

Yes for $20 you can get a ticket to tour 4 homes that have 4 different themes. There is "Frosty the Snowman", "It's a Wonderful Life", "A Christmas Carol" and "Miracle of 34th Street"(I will be at that one)

The tours are taking place Saturday, November 21st from 10AM-4PM and Sunday, November 22nd from 1-5PM.
