that I am just not cut out to be a girl. I really don't go in for these things that women are supposed to like to do. For example, showers. I don't mean the kind that involve water. I love those. I mean wedding showers and baby showers. I do not enjoy them one little bit. I spent 3 hours today at a shower for a lovely young woman in our family. I like her very much. I enjoyed picking out a present that I thought she would like and giving it to her, but I did not enjoy going to her shower. It was 3 hours long! Did I mention that? For the first hour, we sat around answering questions about how much we know the bride. Then we ate. Then we watched her open presents, kind of. I really couldn't see all that well and I definitely couldn't hear, it was so loud. It seemed to take a long time. But, at least at showers, you don't have to dress formally.
Next month we have 2 weddings to go with the 2 showers we have this month. :-(
Like I said, I don't make a very good girl. I don't have any enthusiasm at all for these kinds of things. I don't know what my issue is. I may just have already hit my limit of these kind of events. As a (retired!) wedding singer I have certainly been to more than my share. Tons. I've probably been to 50 weddings in my time. That's more than average isn't it?
I also avoid most family reunions, high school reunions and parties so it may just be that I am an introvert.

I think you may just have burnout. ;o)
I'm not much of a "party" goer myself.
