I don't usually stop for a liquid refreshment during the week, but yesterday I had the urge. After twisting Gambino's arm to meet me earlier than 5 she obliged and was partaking in her refreshment as I strolled in. Jo would soon join us after standing in line in not so comfortable shoes at the book signing. (She's on the good list now for sure).
Prior to going I had to promise myself that 7:30 was my curfew. 8 at the latest. The one thing I can no longer do at my age is function at work hung over. I also knew it wouldn't be a good day to take a sick day. Plus I wasn't going to stick around for the singing. Ben & Peve did, but accidentally. They though they had time for one more.
After a few hours of the company of good friends, a loss at Rock'em Sock'em and a really good chicken sandwich I hit the road. I was sure my dog would be crossing her legs by this time. Must have made it just in time as she made a bee-line for the door.
Jo made a comment last night that stuck in my head a little. She wants to start doing things she hasn't been able to do for some time. I was thinking about that comment today and thought about some things I want to do, but A raises his eyebrows about. He's not a movie goer...he snores through them. He's not a play goer (unless it's Grease or something from the 50's) but has gone in the past to things with me. Why should I continue to make this poor guy suffer through this stuff or be disappointed when he balks at going. He'd probably be quite happy to stay home and fix something or just enjoy the peace and quiet of his wife not being home. So let's go girls...let's start planning some "Things Girls like to do and Men Hate" outings. I think we'd all be happy then.

it must be nice to have people you can call friends, and have a drink with once in a while. I seem to recall having that about 20 years ago... before my life went to hell, and it takes everything i have just to get out of bed in the morning.
SORRY, i don't know why i lay this all on you...oh wait, your blog is the last one i read so you get stuck with all my crap.
It is time for me to start living my life and doing things that I want to do.
I'll send you the info for Lion King later. We can pick a day and make a night of it.
Who is this Peve guy?
Names were changed to protect the innocent.
I think that is wonderful for you gals to start having some girls nights out. I miss those..so please have fun for me as well. And tell me how Lion King goes!
