Girl's Night Out (jump repeatedly while clapping your hands!)
Last night was Girl's Night Out. Woo hoo! I decided some time last fall that I just wasn't getting that social girly time I needed. Lots of baby girly time, but no adult-talking-about-grown-up-things and some not-so-grown-up-things time. My two gal pals J and E each live about a 45 minute drive from me (in good traffic). But we decided it is still worth a weekly attempt to get together, eat, catch up, and discuss all things feminine. Of course it helps that they've been driving to me (thanks ladies!).
Let me just tell you how good it feels! I am not that social of a person on a regular basis - especially since becoming a mom. I think that's why I need it even more lately (a social outlet). I've been spending so much time in my house, conversing with someone with lots to say but little in actual fully developed english (although I will not get sick of hearing "mama" anytime soon). It's just fabulous to hear what my female friends have been up to, what they're struggling with, and what's making them happy. Returning from dinner, I felt refreshed and ready to start the second half of the week in a better mood.
New Year's Resolution: I will not underestimate the importance of Girl's Night!
