[quote=Anonymous]Set expectations for yourself that you can meet; then you'll feel good after the party for meeting your goals! Tell yourself you'll talk to four new people and try to have a conversation with them. Ask where people take their kids to the park or treat, and note those bits of intel. Ask where people are from, how long they've been in DC. Talk about their kids and ask about what activities their kids participate in. Talk about the food and barbecuing in general, if you're into food at all. Ask what people did over the summer -- did they go to the beach, or vacation anywhere else; did their kids go to camp; did they get summer visitors (people love to visit you when you live in DC!). The stakes are not that high, so just try to have a good time and meet a couple of new people. If you do more than that, then it's all gravy. Have fun, OP, and know we are with you! Will you let us know how it went? :-)[/quote]
