Wednesday night, I went out on a work night (trust me, this is a shocking occurrence.) I was lucky to get to break bread with a lovely group of Central Florida Bloggers.
We ate at a local Spanish restaurant called El Bodegon. The restaurant would be great for a date night, very cozy and romantic. I had a salad and chicken that was cooked in garlic and lemon.
I really liked the salad but the chicken was just OK. I did love the many olive’s on both dishes, can rarely go wrong with those.

I had a lot of fun and was also able to check off something from my 30 Before 30 List.
12. Do one thing that makes me uncomfortable (like introducing myself to people) and get comfortable with it.
I am not shy exactly but meeting new people and putting myself “out there” can make me anxious but it is something I want to do more of. Plus the more you do anything, the easier it gets.
Please take a moment to check out the women above and their blogs.

Have you ever attended a blogger meet-up?
Do you ever get anxious meeting new people?
I’m so glad you DID come! It was so nice to meet you in person after reading your blog and tweets, and I hope you will be able to come out again. I know it’s a hike but I hope to see you around town sometime soon!
And yes, I get anxious too. I tend to overtalk (which you may have noticed) around new groups. Hope my chattiness didn’t scare you off!

Not scared.
It was great to meet you too and I hope to be able to go to future events.
So awesome meeting you! Can’t wait for next month’s dinner.
Really great to meet you too!

Yay for crossing something off your list! I also get SUPER anxious during social situations where I’m meeting people for the first time – and then I ramble on (like I did on Wed!).
It was SO nice meeting you. We will have to meet up again at the Miracle Miles race!
Oh – and that is such a cute picture of you! My eye is doing it’s squinty thing – ha.

It was so nice to meet you too!
I’m looking forward to meeting up at Miracle Miles. Will make it much more fun, I’m sure.

Great to finally meet you! If I had a list like that this would definitely be on it – I practiced a mean ‘fake it till you make it’ and overcame some awkwardness. I hope you go to the next one, it’d be fun to hang out again

You too!
I am looking forward to the next one. It really was a fun time.
