Well partailly this is to move the last journal from the front page but also to maybe ask for a few prayers or something.
This next week I have to go to a 3 day confrence thing a number of miles away for my job. My co-workers and I will be in a hotel and attend some meetings and there will also be free time.
Thing is I have never been on something like this, I have been away from home and stuff but its always with like the church or school or something, people who I know in a personal sence.
And its not even the meetings that frighten me, its the free time. I don't know how to socialize without somebody to tag behind so I can get a feel of the enviroment from them before I make any moves.
And there also might be some drinking involved, I hate boose and I don't want to get wrapped up into a situation where I might be excpected to drink.
See thing is its not so much that I objectivly think alchohol is liquid evil its just that I have reason to believe I am one of those so called "genitic alcoholics" one glass and I might be finnished.
All these strangers and then sleeping in rooms and I don't get to have a plushie to take for comfort and its really scary.........

Blankets and pillows can be fun to hug too, perhaps you can pack an extra?
I've heard that actors often drink ginger ale when filming scenes that involve drinking so as to avoid drunkeness over multiple takes, perhaps you adopt a similar form of subterfuge?
Anyway, good luck with your trip *hugs*
*Kisses cheek* good luck!
I try to hide it as best I can but it seems my cubbiness still shows through,
Still its worth a shot!
The downside? Soda in bars is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced.
Last time I bought a glass of soda in a bar, I paid $3... that's even worse than the $2 they were charging for cans of soda aboard airline flights,
or the $2.50 cost of buying 20 Ox. bottles of Pepsi out of soda machine down the New Jersey shore. (Wildwood, NJ) on Morey's Pier.
Also, if it is a "bar and grill" type place... maybe, like, you could get burger, or fries, grilled cheese sammich or something.
*Shrugs shoulders*
Thankyou so much for the heads up and ideas, definatlly good to know, I hate having to borrow money
