Being single, I have the advantage of going out whenever I want ,( well really when I can afford it ). But as you get older, the pool who is available to go out can sometimes be slim. Most of my friends are married, have kids, moved away or have busy work schedules. This week was not that week. I got to see friends in from Denver, Austin and Ireland. I got to spend time with my Aunt and Cousin and my Mom. I got to out out with my besties and saw an old friend who moved back home . I got to hang with some new friends and venture to the city. The week is not even over yet and I will see some more friends tomorrow and go wish one a happy birthday, go to a pool party for another, and gather with some other friends to celebrate Elvis and a Grotto. And to end the week, I will see an old friend who moved back home to Ireland.
Last night as my best friend put her arms around me as we danced to the band , the English Beat, I thought how lucky I am to have great girls in my life.
I have to say that I am surrounded by some of the best women in the world. If I had to choose an army to defend me, these would be the people by my side. Women don't run from your problems , they confront them, head on. They listen to you, they tell you the truth and sometimes just tell you what you need to hear. If you need something done, they are there, period. Sometimes they will even go hunt through garbage if need be. These women set the example of what good humans should look like and they are also flawed which makes them so much more beautiful. And of course they are the best time a girlfriend could ever have.
I just want to thank you all .
Going out, talking, advice, phone calling, tagging, liking, commenting, texting, poolside, event planning, shopping, eating, driving, getting the check , cooking, exercising, cleaning, dog sitting, going to gigs and shows, reading my blogs and just plain showing up .
How would we ever enjoy the mess that we called men, if we did not have the women in our lives to help clean it up. ( sorry for the domestic metaphor )
Life may not have given me children and a husband , but BOY did it give me great girls and friends which make for the the best Girls nights outs ever. Put the pocketbooks down and lets dance !
