High Quality Girl Time
Ok get your minds out of the gutter. I’m not talking about that kind of girl time, though I suppose I could :sup:
I’m talking about spending time with your best girls, sans children, or other leechy critters, to do whatever you want and not have a curfew. Now, I’ll admit, I’m a bit on the old side, so even though Dennie and I hit the bar once every few months, I always feel like a creature from another planet come to observe and take notes. Then, recently, I cheated on Dennie with Lynn. We went to see Nancy Drew. Yes it was corny, and silly but there was definitely some nostalgia there and we had a good time. We went away vowing to do it again (because none of us ever gets out). So, on my birthday I asked the both of them out :tmi: to the movies (this way I didn’t feel like I was cheating) because I really wanted to see Stardust and I knew it was something the boy-leeches woulnd’t want to see. And even though I didn’t feel good, I was determined to do something fun for myself on my birthday (damnitalltohell!).
So we hit the movies, with a stop-off at Carrabas to while away some time over dessert and decided that we should do this once a month. I think, as important as it is to make time for ourselves (something else many women don’t do enough of), it’s important to connect with your girlfriends too and just hang out, see a movie, go have a drink…whatever and remind yourself that yes you DO have a life outside of that husband and children.
So when’s the last time you had some high quality girl (or guy!) time?

OOOOOOOOMG I live for my girl time! Let’s see the last ‘only the girls’ time was just over a week ago. I had a strawberry crepes and a chick flick morning at my house and invited a few of the girls. It was so GREAT! I love it. I need it. And you know, I can’t remember the last time I went to a bar.
Ooooh wait! It was a month ago, but that was like the first time in forever. Oh wait. Are we counting Dallas? Hmm.

LOL Dallas Bar doesn’t count. Well the hotel bar doesn’t count

I think Dennie handled the cheating ok. I mean, I don’t recall discussion of therapy to keep the relationship intact or anything.
Besides, you did spend several nights in a hotel, in Dallas no less, a week or so later…
Speaking of… We need to schedule that September “date”.

Well the hubby and I just had lunch today with no children. And it was freaking WONDERFUL.
Quality girl time, it’s been a while. I need to get together with some friends, go out to dinner, have a couple of drinkies. Not worry about the kids. Whooo hoo…..

I went to the fair last night and ate tons of junk food, drank a beer, and watched Heart in concert.
