Time Warp Mini-Van

I love girls' nights out! I am blessed to live in a neighborhood with wonderful friends. We have been nicknamed the "desperate housewives" by a few outsiders. Ironically, I'm the only one of the bunch who doesn't have a career (outside of the home) and I wouldn't describe one of us as desperate! Each one of us brings something different to the dinner table when we go out and it always makes for an evening of fun and laughter. For me, as a stay-at-home mom, I especially enjoy this time because it is so nice to talk with other adults and get away from the craziness of my home.

Last night we went out to celebrate one of our birthdays! The baby of the group just turned 35. If she wasn't so much fun we'd probably kick her out since the rest of us are all in our 40's! We thought we'd try a new restaurant in our area instead of the "chain" we usuallly go to. Unfortunately, we didn't have a good dining experience, but we made the best of it & had a great time anyway.

Imagine five women driving home in a mini-van dancing and singing to awesome club-music from the 1980's! We time-warped back to a time when our worries were few and our hair was big! The music was loud and we were singing along, remembering the words to songs we haven't heard in twenty years. So, for that 15 minute drive home we were five "girls" laughing and yelling over the music to hear one another talk. None of us wanted to go home just yet, so we drove around for a whole five minutes longer. One by one we were dropped back at our homes with smiles on our faces. I'm already looking forward to our next night out!
