This One’s For The Girls

Last weekend was a full-on girlfest event. Friday night began with dinner for four at a local pub. I spent the majority of the evening laughing vicariously through the lavalife escapades of a very best friend. ☺ It’s amazing what stories she has to tell. I think she could actually start her own personal stand-up act on dating in the city. Hilarious!
The evening ended with a bottle of wine and an old-school chick flick—Waiting To Exhale. Remember that one? Whatever happened to Whitney Houston?
Saturday was another girl’s night out, as a full entourage of women (and a few guys) arrived at Clinton’s to celebrate a friend’s birthday and dance to some awesome music. It was a great Motown vibe, which I would totally repeat, topped off with McDonald’s at 2am to close the night. Who could ask for more?
As I rushed to get ready for Sunday brunch the next morning (as I forgot to turn on the alarm just five hours before) I thought to myself, what a great weekend.
As much as I love to hang out with Tad all the time, I realize how essential it is to have a girl’s night out. Equally as important for him to have his boy’s nights out— or more like boys night in playing video games.
When we first got married and moved in together we were such homebodies enjoying our own personal space and playing house for the first time. But I soon realized that it wasn’t healthy to spend every social moment together. And as much as we love hanging out with some great couples, sometimes you have to show up on your own. I’m not saying most of the time, just some of the time. It’s important and it’s also fun.
Who else is with me on this?

I agree 100% with needing to spend some good quality girl time. My best friend moved away last year and things just weren’t the same so I started spending all my time with my fiance. I started to resent him going out with his friends–RED FLAG! so I took control of my situation and started spending more time with my friends, they thought I had fallen off the face of earth. I felt selfish after that and never want to sink down that road again. Its nice to know that I can live in a 300 sq foot house with my fiance and never get sick of him however.
I’m glad you mentioned this.
To me it is super healthy to have a relationship where the couple can take time apart and spend it with their friends. Nothing bugs me more than when girlfriends of mine (and even I am guilty of it from past relationships) spend all their free time and social time with just their significant other…then they wonder why they have no one calls them out?!?! Looking back, it keeps the soul and mind balanced if you can not be so dependent on your partner, and take the time to spend with your friends, and even yourself. It does the spirit good :) because once your mind is sound and your happy and fullfilled inside, you have more to offer and produce happier relationships with all involved in your life :)
Hey Sarah, I’m glad you enjoyed some drinks with your bridesmaid!
Keep up the good work for years to come:)
I had drinks last night with one of my bridesmaids and we dicussed this very thing. My FH works shift work and yesterday was one of the days that he was off, but I really just needed some girl time. It is nice to have the occasional girl time. He also enjoys the guy time.
