last night was one of those rare nights! all you ladies know...the one where you and a girlfriend head out, alone, with no curfew!!! well, she told her hubby she'd call if we were later than 1:30 am!!
anyways...this is a recap of our evening. and yes, for 2 grown women in their 30's with 7 kids among them, we were well...frankly, quite giddy, silly, out there, and quite possibly a little immature. just a little!! but it was all fun!!!
6:30 - friend picks me up and we head out of town.
6:40 - my cell phone rings - weird person that asked my name close to 15 times before hanging up.
7:00 - pull into shopping area. the pressure is on to pick a place to eat. so like all grown adults we write 3 places down on paper and draw. didn't like the 1st so decided to do 2/3. settled at logans.
7:00 my cell phone rings again. hubby this time. we laugh. answer his question and we go in to eat.
7:05 - waitress seats us my cell phone rings again - another wrong number. i get wise and turn phone off!!
we eat a yummy yummy meal and then head to the shopping area. unsure what time the stores close we drive by each one we want to go to to see their hours and plan accordingly.
8:15 into kohl's we go.... let's see...i return my shoes but shock - since we purchased them and received kohl's cash that was spent i can only get store credit and have to spend it now. bummer, not really...but not that much money. i need a brown sweater to go with my fun dress...of course, we also picked out a variety of outfits for each other to try on. once again, while we giggled hysterically in the dressing rooms, other ladies looked at us oddly. we were stylin!!! and i don't understand how people can wear some of that stuff.
9:45 - store announces closing!! WHAT!?? already!?!? we hadn't figured out which perfume smelled so good. i head to the counter with my $3.00 sweater - well i had to pitch in $3. we check out...now for ice cream
9:51 - cold stone creamery closes at 9???? in the summer???? crazy...so off for coffee at starbucks...or ice cream at steak and shake...they are open late!! so after a drive through the steak and shake parking lot we go back to starbucks. i know - indecisive, but atleast this time we didn't draw out of a hat!
9:54 - starbucks is open til 11!! woo hoo!! friend decides to try something different. we look at their new vivanno drinks....hmm....she goes for the orange mango one and i decide to give it a try too. these drinks have a whole banana, whey powder and fiber powder in them! highly nutritious!!
10:01 - sitting outside - freezing. odd i know, but when you are attempting to drink a very cold vivanno late at night and it being chilly, well you get cold. so not ready to head home we move to the car.
at this point we are making up stories of all of those around us. one girl pulls in facing us. she gets 2 coffees and brings them back to her car. in a few minutes her friend pulls up and joins her for coffee in their car. realizing that we are super cool we start laughing. we quickly notice the blue glow on their faces from their cell phones. they are probably texting their super cool friends so now we are not quite so cool.
wanting to reinstated to super cool status, for the next 35 minutes we played with our cell phones to try and figure out texting. we sent each other texts while sitting in the car with each other! oh...we were super cool!!!! really!!
10:45 - maybe we should head home....
uneventful....
this night was everything i needed and more!! lots of laughs, lots of weird humor, lots of things that will make me laugh for years to come...i felt 20 again and loved every minute!!
i'm thankful for a hubby that sees that need for me and lets me go. i'm thankful for a friend that loves life the same way i do. i'm thankful that friend doesn't think i'm weird. i'm thankful for last night!!
ah....the girls night out!!!!
