Very interesting perspective. I’m surprised I’m perceived like that. I am super maternal and a total caregiver and a homebody. I’m always cleaning and cooking . I’m in bed by 9pm, even on the weekends. Do I like to get out with my girls? Yes. I do maybe about once a month. I need some adult time every now and then. But I prefer home on the couch, sipping on some wine, cooking with mate and watching a movie. I bond with the kids and kids love me and I they see me maternally, right off the bat.
I’m shocked I come off as a party girl. I know how to have fun, I like to have fun, but that is probably the smallest part of me. Maybe that’s the way I am coming off to others? Because while I like to visit some day festivals, try a winery or brewery, or want a nice dinner out, I am not the woman you find up in the club or late night at bars. I can’t even tell you the last tome I went out .
When I dated the guy in CT, we would spend weekends together at his house cooking, grocery shopping, raking leaves, etc, sitting in the front of the fire and I loved it.
So I’m kind of shocked I come off as non-maternal and a party girl.
Maybe take that mutt of yours out to the dog park more often.
Is that similar to getting your hedge trimmed, jumping the turnstile, making a magical sandwich, churning butter, bam-bam in the ham, checking the oil, testing the suspension, roasting the broomstick, putting the bread in the oven, organ grinding, buzzing the brillo, buttering the biscuit, doing squat thrusts in the cucumber patch, feeding the kitty...
Don’t listen to Andy P he’s a little uptight. You like to party once in awhile and let loose. So do I but I’m also in bed by 9 during the week and a great dad. I’ve never missed a day of work because of alcohol and never drink and drive. You’re good! Just the kind of Gal I’m looking for.
Interesting perspective. I’m with Pinn. I don’t get that vibe either. You seem to be a lot like me. You work in a caregiving kind of job, you are a good mom, you have strong values and you have a kind and forgiving personality. And I’ve always gotten the feeling you would prefer to be at home with someone special than out and about. You just haven’t had a lot of luck in finding that someone special to stay home with. I really hope this is the year for you to find that person Ginger. You really deserve to have that in your life. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. (((HUGS)))
You know how they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder... “party girl” is also in the eye of the beholder. Interesting how we see more with our mind and our being (who we are) than reality. Of course it’s more difficult judging through only what is written, but I don’t get party girl out of you. A bit of a handful maybe but I base that in your sometimes impulsive nature. That again might be my bias. I think most people accurately see you for you.

I've never gotten a party girl vibe from you doll. xoxo
Party girl does have a negative context that wasn't my intention. I was using it more in the context of "bon vivant" / "full of life". We each perceive others and ourselves through our own lenses. And LH19 is undoubtedly more than a bit correct when he says
