How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Girls Weekend

in Lifestyle on 08/10/09


We sat in the sun.
We walked and we talked.
We ate so many great little snacks there was no discussion of dinner.
It was dark before we even looked at our watches.
We laughed until we cried.
We talked of struggles, and love and children.
Of hopes and dreams.
We relaxed and grew closer.
No one cared what we were wearing, or who weighed what.

I drove home by myself and enjoyed the quiet.

I came back to the chaos, and loved that too.

Girlfriends.
Everyone needs a couple of great girlfriends.

      Well said—we all need our girlfriends to help us stay sane! I always feel rejuvenated after even a dinner out with the women who know me inside and out but like me anyway.
