Girls Night Out, plus one
Last night I had an impromptu Girls Night Out--boyo did I need it! I was at HEB grocery shopping when my mate, B. called, "I want a real hamburger! Let's go get one!!" Woot! She wrangled our other gal pal, A. and our plans were set. We'd meet in an hour at Bigz, after I got home with groceries and whipped up din din for the family. Coolness.
I NEEDED this Girls Night Out. For some reason this week I've been feeling: bleh and blah. Not sure why (although I am sure some sort of hormone is to blame or it could be that I hadn't had a girls night out in a few weeks--oh and there is the good friend in the hospital and gee, my sister getting married to a loser abuser!! Sigh). But I had NO idea where the restaurant was (now, I was going under the assumption that this burger place was called Bigs and not Bigz--it makes a BIG difference on search engines, let me tell ya)--normally not knowing where I am going makes me leery and crabby. (Control issues me? Never!) But I have a cell phone now, so I figured I'd call if I got totally and completely lost.
I am half way there and Beth calls, "Guess what! It's Tuesday and Bigz closes at 8 on Tuesday!" I look down at my dashboard: 7:56. "But here's the plan! We're going to the Bennigan's near 281!"
Gulp!
"That Bennigan's? The one where I got wasted? Are you sure?!"
"Oh, honey, don't worry. You weren't banned or anything."
Face meet palm. "Okay...sounds good. See ya soon."
Luckily the bartender was a different chick from last time, but of course I got teased mercilessly by B. the entire night. Grin. At least it makes a funny story. Now, Girls Night Out wasn't strictly just the Girls. A. brought her exchange student M (they were at his Rugby practise when B. called). We love M., he's 18 and from Argentina and cute as a button. I stuck to my one Guinness (after all earlier in the day my Mom begged me to have one for her due to the aforementioned Marriage)...it's gonna be another ten years till I get wasted again (it's a thing I go on the "1s"....smirk!).
A. took M. home and B. and I went back to her place to watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling. LOVE LOVE this episode. We talked and watched and she smoked and watched the behind the scenes. And I didn't leave her place till 3 am. Now, I got two text messages to Jamey wondering where I was (making/teasing sure I wasn't drunk--again--or didn't go home with a cute guy), I let him know what was up and that was it. B. also works third shift and was feeling particularly tired and so we were making sure she stayed up and didn't ruin her sleep schedule.
Fast forward to this morning: my poor Man has a headache from hell, which started last night. Now I feel slightly guilty that I was out when he felt so bad. But then again, if he had texted me: "I feel sick, please come home soon" I would have been home lickety split. So the guilt, very slight. Grin. I NEEDED this night out and I feel SO refreshed!!
Oh and lesson: do not go to grocery store hungry! Some how I ended up with 4 bags of candy and one candy bar, which I vaguely remember picking up through out the store. Dude, I love my candy but this is ridiculous. Well, at least it's nearly Easter and I can use that as my excuse. Grin.
