Color me Francey

Day 10. Whew, already? What a difference a week makes. I have been a busy bee this last week and have managed to lay the groundwork for major change. Here is what I have been up to.
Monday, went to the gym.
Tuesday, went to my first Hub meeting, a group organized through Chi's mega-super-famed church.
Wednesday, Whole Foods.
Thursday, Free pass as I worked inventory overnight.
Friday, massage and gym.
Saturday, haircut, manicure, and social event!
Sunday, Church
It seems that I can have a life and still get my fill of Law and Order SVU episodes!

I have met a lot of new people this week through the hub, and it has been good to talk and share my experiences of moving here and starting over. It is also great to hear other people's stories, and I now recognize that most people are not from Chi, most people are new to Chi with-in the last 2 years. The Hub group is not imposing or uber "churchy"--obviously, faith is the tie that binds, however, not every conversation revolves around God, and there is a fair amount of liberal behavior. For example, after watching a docu on child slavery and a riveting post discussion, we went to a pub for a social hour. The interaction was more about community and less about drinking.

Like I said I met some nice people, but I can tell that it will take some time to sort out all of the people and figure out with whom I might develop a closer friendship with. I am very proud to say that I became very comfortable introducing myself and interacting with all kinds of people; I think this new confidence will surely stay with me this week as I take my first Spanish class tomorrow, and Saturday when I lead (yikes) my first book club meet and greet.

And I do need to mention that after 3 1/2 years I have let go of Black Satin and Light my Saphire for Color Me Francey. The reason I started to wear Black nail polish was because I felt that it symbolized my world at the time of my break-up, I was in the dark. Then courtesy of Chanel, black became en vogue and I just kinda kept it. Don't get me wrong, I still do believe that black nail polish is the absolute most chic color you can possibly wear, but for the next few weeks I want to change my color to symbolize my changed outlook on Chi. But lets be real, this is only a temporary break and Black Satin I will be back.
