Girls Day Out

Yesterday I went on a girls days out. It was fun and it's been a long time since I've been able to relax with so many girls. The group consisted of ten young women (mid twenties to early thirties) that work in various departments in the school. We went to this Tapas place near work for lunch and it was such a good time. As we were walking to the place, this guy called out to us - "Sex and the City!" That was pretty funny. The food was yummy, the chatter was constant, and bonds were either formed or strengthened.

Our conversations ranged from stupid things our boyfriends do, to benefits at work, to upcoming events like vacations and pending wedding ceremonies. And it was nice to be on a table full of urban professional women. No jealousy or competition, no unnecessary cattiness and the best part ... no dividing the check as per what you ate --- everyone understood that dividing the check evenly is what will be done (thank the Lord).

Well, I had a fantastic time. Since I'm not too keen on female friendships (and I'm in the process of dumping most of the ones I did have), this was a really nice experience for me. I forgot how fun girls can really be! When was the last time you had a really great girls day (or night) out?
