Girls Night
A girls night had been in the works for nearly two months. Dates were bantered back and forth, the question of whether to invite boys was debated, location and activities were pondered.
And then...silence.
Being the anal retentive person that I am, I had marked the finally-decided girls night in my calendar. Thus, when I turned down my FIRST DATE IN 2006 because of this prearranged night, I was hoping that it would be worth it. I quickly emailed the organizer to see what the final plans were going to be. With three days left, certainly something was in the works. But alas...
The organizer found herself too busy, and bowed out.
The usual host of the sleep-over location decided she would rather play golf and eat out with friends.
The guy who originally complained that we never invited him to girls night discovered he had made other plans.
So it turned out to be me, Ms. Signe, and Mr. A Prize in Every Box. Who-hoo! Instead of our typical girls night fare (Mexican food at Alero, followed by movies/pool, followed by a visit to the martini bar, followed by stumbling back to someone's apartment to crash), we instead enjoyed Chinese food, Pride and Prejudice, and a good gossip about those not in attendance (such as which P&P character each of our friends could play in real life)--the troika of girls night fun.
What really saved the evening (at least in terms of being measured against a DATE WITH A REAL BOY) was the discovery of TLS's Little People, Big World. Man, that show is addictive.
Comments
For the record, I DO protest never being included, but I did NOT have a record of this Girl's Night. Are you sure I was included in the planning? I am good about putting things in my calendar, usually...

Corrections:
1) Ah, but I never was attending this girls' night.
2) The "usual" girls' night you describe in fact happened only once, on my turn hosting (we've been rotating).
3) I shot a completely honest bogey on my last hole Saturday!!! Gorgeous!

Does 24 hours of not posting my comment mean it was deemed "malicious"? Can a girl not defend herself against the wild spinning of the truth by J.Wo? :) I will further attempt to redeem myself by abusing Mr. Bad Apologies comment section on his "Procurement" post.... :)
