Girl Talk
Like many other Sunday afternoons, I'm sitting on a couch with my laptop and the television murmuring in the background. What makes this weekend different is that this couch is located only 3 miles from the beach.
Ms. Rather Be Travelling (who no longer blogs), Ms. Wish to See, Ms. Maryment, and Ms. Signe (who never blogged), and I decided on an impromptu girls weekend at the beach--mainly for the tax-free outlet shopping, but also because it's nice to get away.
We've been making this trip on an almost-annual basis for about a decade, and usually we finagle lodging out of Ms. NYC Rouge, whose family has a little place nearby. But since she's firmly tied to her lesbian-soliciting-blog-endeavor up in Brooklyn (which I think we all agree can only end badly, if not actually involving body parts in a refrigerator), it was up to us to find a place to rent for the weekend.
We totally lucked out, and ended up in a brand new, nicely decorated, HUGE townhouse just a few miles from the hundreds of outlets we so desperately craved. We've decided upon reaching a certain age it is of critical importance to locate lodging where a minimum of people are sharing bathroom facilities. And this place has proved just delightful--Ms. Rather Be Travelling and I are staying on an extra day and a half to continue our "working vacation" while the other girls have just left.
So that's me. Once again, working on a Sunday (although I might go take a nap, since it appears I have not yet changed out of my pajamas even though it is pushing 2:30 p.m.). But since Mr. RBT is sitting on the next couch, also working (on her dissertation), somehow it feels much more congenial.
Comments
Not going to end badly. Only weird if I meet them in person. Till now, only virtual soliciting . . . which sounds slightly dirty.
I'm on a (fruitless?) mission to prove that there are actually sane lesbians out there.
