Lady's Night

Over the years there have been several lady's nights but they have constantly changed and evolved. In my 20's ..lady's night meant Thursday to Sunday- downtown with a group of girls acting stupid and getting drunk. Now I am not saying that it wasn't fun, just the opposite. We had a ball, now if I could only remember the stories instead of look at all of the sad photos of myself in varies degrees of sobriety.

In my thirties the visits downtown began to wither away to the occasional night downtown and I came home feeling annoyed by being pushed around and feeling older than I was. Does 19 really look THAT young!

As I grew (ahem..older) up, I realized I could have just as much fun hanging out with friends at some one's house than going downtown. I got to sit comfortably on a couch and have my cocktail made my way -instead of watered down with not man in sight...except for her husband locked in the basement with a screaming child....but shhh..nothing a little sleeping pill didn't cure. I'm joking ~wink.

One of my friends decided that since there were a lot of us in the same boat that she would start a lady's night. Every third Saturday of the month it is! It started out slow with only a couple of us and having little to drink as some of us had to drive..others had to only stumble across the street; but we needed something more...amusement.

I must admit over the years there have been many laughs and you have got to give our hostess credit for coming up with some unique ideas. We have had manicures and pedicures, sexy girls parties (including the uninhibited...which we don't talk about and will need some therapy for), a turkey swap(Basically we brought gifts and shared alcohol..I was surprised there were no turkeys), margarita night...you see the theme. Each month I eagerly await the naming of ladies night..not that I always attend...unless it could get embarrassing and Steph will be there. Yes we are laughing with you!

There are always lots of laughs and information shared. No I am not talking about gossiping..after all we are all there...except for ugly naked man... For instance, on the last lady's night I learnt you can lease a hot water tank through our local power company. Now I am not sure when I will use this info but it is there. There have been talks about a cougar crawl as an activity but there seem to be more groans than cheers for this one.

So the next time you are feeling blah and wondering what to do on Saturday night..call your girls and invite them in....did you know you can have a pole party at your house?
