Sorta new to Lexington

bargar2007

Hello everyone!  My husband & I moved to Lexington back in May and we're just now getting completely settled here.  The hubby is in the Army Reserves and I currently work from home.  I don't have any "social time" with people my age and I'm going stir crazy just sitting around the house!  I'm at a loss as to where to look for cool girls to hang out with.  I hope to get tons of replies!

This board doesn't usually get a lot of traffic. I have family and friends in LEX. DO you go to church anywhere? What are your interest.

Hi! I agree this board doesn't get much traffic but I just happened to notice your post and I live in Lexington! My husband and I are in a very similar situation. We moved here about a year and a half ago after I finished grad school- My husband is an electrician and I work at Saint Joseph. We both only work with people that are practically twice our age (we are 26) so it has been very difficult to meet friends. Unfortunately I don't have any recommendations for anywhere cool to hang out and meet people- lol. We usually spend the weekends going out to eat and a movie. Sometimes we go out and play pool- I can recommend some pretty fun bars and stuff if you're into that sort of thing

Hi! I am in the same boat. My husband and I moved here from Florida in August. I have gotten involved in a couple of groups, and that's allowed me to meet some people. First, there is a "Lexington Women" meetup group on meetup.com. I haven't gone to an official event yet, but I've met some girls separately on that site. There are a few fun events coming up. There is also the Lexington Young Professionals Association, which has fairly regular events. I've been to a few, and they've been fun. I can give you more info on both of those organizations if you're interested!

I work from home as well, so I totally relate to being stir crazy. Maybe if we have enough interest, we could get a group together for dinner or drinks sometime!? Where in Lex do you ladies live?

Both of those groups sound interesting, I'll have to check 'em out! I would definitely love to make some new friends We live off of Nicholasville Rd (in Southpoint subdivision) right before you get to Brannon's crossing. We go to the movies over there alot since it's so close. What about you? What are your hobbies and interests? I like to scrapbook and I'm a big animal lover. We have one dog, a chihuahua/pekingese mix, and one kitty Sometimes I volunteer driving dogs to new homes/fosters for different rescue groups. In the summer I love to go to the public pool (we go to the one on hill and dale dr. off of Clay's Mill). We also go out occasionally for drinks and play pool.

We live over near Hamburg.We like going out for dinner/drinks, occasionally going to a few bars downtown, watching sports, movies, etc. -- we're pretty much up for anything! We are dog lovers as well -- we have a pug. Hopefully once the weather improves we can find a dog park to take him to!

You should definitely check out those groups I mentioned. The women's group has an event coming up at the piano bar downtown (I think next weekend)...might be fun.I might check it out.

I would definitely be up for getting together sometime if you ladies are interested! Maybe we could meet for dinner -- either with or without the hubbys? Let me know...I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible!

aw, that's cool, I love pugs! I don't know of any dog parks around here but I'm sure there are some. We recently fenced in our back yard so we don't really have a need to take Jasmine (our dog) anywhere. Maybe we could get our dogs together sometime for a play date? I looked at meetup.com and saw the event at the piano bar. I have been there once before and liked it, but it was so loud I don't think it would be conducive to getting to know anyone. I might go though, I don't know...I would like to meet up sometime for sure, it sounds like we might have quite a bit in common I will admit I am a fairly shy person so this kind of feels like an awkward friend blind date LOL what is your email address and maybe we can talk more that way and maybe make some plans? Mine is AngelxMHS@aol.com, and my name is Jenna

I've heard there's a decent dog park off of Richmond Rd. -- Jacobson Park, I think? We have a fenced-in yard as well, but my pug is longing for some social interaction, so I think we might check it out when the weather warms up!

I agree with the piano bar thing...it's not really conducive to talking and getting to know people!

I'm going to shoot you an e-mail this week...my name's Barbie, by the way.
