Take the Night Off

This is my closest friend. We only get together once every month or two for coffee and tea at All About Cha. These visits are sanity savers for me. It's easy to lose yourself in motherhood and being the grown up. He reminds me who I used to be. When I leave our tea meetings I feel like the freak I used to be :) Thanks for tolerating me for 18 years!

This time we ate at Kabsa House. If you are a local you have got to try the food here, it's wonderful! Then of course the obligatory Sara Sara Cupcake since he lives in Tulsa and has to get his fix down here.

I have been reading this book:

It was talking about introverts and extroverts. Now, I've always thought of introverts as being people who preferred to be alone and extroverts as people who enjoy being in groups. I've always thought of these things as a character trait, but in this book it talks about these things being necessary for mental health. Introverts truly NEED to be alone in order to "recharge" and be ready to take on another day versus an extrovert who NEEDS to feed off the energy of others.

I won't deny I'm a feeder. In fact I'd probably be considered a queen bee of extroverts. Sometimes, I think the superficial connection with people online can replace that need for face to face adult interaction, but it just doesn't taste the same. So thank you, Jay, for letting me feed off your energy this week. It was wonderfully sweet :)

So what are you? An introvert or extrovert? Also how the heck do you fit in time to recharge or feed?

Update: My husband read this post and called me Audrey II. If you are lucky enough to get that reference you're welcome for the song now running through your head.
