Girls' Night Out

Beth, me, Cheryl & Julie. Last night was Girls’ Night Out. We’ve know each other since grade school. And about 9 years ago (after our 25 year high school reunion) we began a tradition of getting together once a month or so. No husbands, no boyfriends, no kids – well, except one time when Cheryl brought her brother!

We go out to lunch or dinner, or to a movie, or to play BINGO, or to race bumper cars or go-carts, or play putt putt golf, or bowling, or anything to just get together and yak, yak, yak. Every time we go out I have a BLAST!!! We talk about our current lives and reminisce about our past, we complain about work, we share stores about family, we gossip about friends, we describe our latest vacations , we brag about our successes, and we whine about our disappointments.

But most of all we talk to each other and we listen to what we each have to say. I usually cry on the way home because I have had such a good time. I am going to miss Girls’ Night Out.
