I want a girlie weekend.
The boy has been playing video games with his childhood best friend in our living room since yesterday evening. They’ve eaten all the junk food in the house. They took a trip to Circuit City and who knows where else while I was out to dinner. Tomorrow they’re going to the auto show.
Admittedly, I’m jealous.
Sure, tonight I had a nearly four hour dinner with two of my fabulous blogger friends. It’s not that I don’t love Thai food or white sangria or THEM… it’s the fact that I left the apartment 24 hours into their guys’ weekend and I came home to more than 24 more hours of guys’ weekend still to go. It’s not that I feel left out. I’m so so so glad the boy gets the opportunity to have an entire weekend with his friend. He deserves some guy time, especially after having to deal with my bras hanging on our door and the potent air fresheners I like to use and the hair products all over the sink and the pink makeup bag that’s made its home on the dining room table… (Yes, I can be hyper feminine…)
I’m just… jealous.
I wish my besties could visit for a whoooole weekend. I wish the boy would fix us dinner Friday night (I made these boys delicious tacos) and then move out of the way. I wish we could be left to our own devices for an entire weekend, just me and the girls. I wish we could wander the mall and not discuss dwindling funds. I wish we could go out for fruity drinks with umbrellas and not discuss the calories. I wish we could go to a fashion show in the city or spend an afternoon getting our nails done. I wish we could blare trendy music in the car with the windows down and sing along like we’re the only ones on the road. I wish we could end up at a bar wearing skinny jeans and shirts low enough that they toe the line of acceptable. I wish we could watch stupid movies and make fun of the characters while we pour ourselves another glass of wine. I wish we could finish the night eating ice cream out of the tub.
I guess I wish I were still at my women’s college. I’m sort of craving estrogen.
I haven’t had quality time with my boy in awhile but it’s my girls that I’m really missing tonight.

While our ideas of the ideal weekend are a bit different – although I’m with you on getting to wear my cleavage shirts – I crave those social marathons that my life used to be made of. It’s only now that my friends and I are beginning to remember how to make them happen. It takes more effort now but we’ve all committed to trying a little harder. The result is so worth it.

I miss our women’s college too especially since I’m in need of some black sexy shoes with only Nate to turn to for help. If only I could walk down the hall to see who has the same size foot as me…. sigh.

I love girls weekends. I typically see my best friend every month or so for a weekend where we shop, have mani/pedis, or just hang out playing games and having fun. There’s nothing like it. I hope you get to have a girlie weekend soon!

Oh I want one of those too! I haven’t done that since September and even then it was a long time before than since I’ve done one. Girly time is under rated – especially since my girls are mostly moving away this year!

AMEN to missing the environment and fun at our women’s college!

This post totally made me an emo kid, because I’m all misty eyed just reading it. I want to do all those things, too! I want to so, so much!
Of course, I need a group of female friends to do those things with, so…it’s probably not going to happen. During the summer I get to adopt my bestie’s friends while everyone is in town – she has a huge group of friends she still hangs out with from highschool. They let me hang out with them like I’m “one of them” even though I’m totally not. I love it.
Anyway. I sometimes wish I was one of those people with a bunch of friends. But I’ve always been someone who was too much of a homebody to be like that, I guess. Who knows.
If I was closer, we’d totally go out and drink some frilly drinks and get pedicures. Perhaps someday. 🙂

I completely agree with you on this one, and I didn’t even go to a women’s college!

I could use a girls weekend like nobody’s business. I think I need to make some calls…

ah, i definitely NEED a girlie weekend.
which is tricky to say, haha, with the fact that my significant other IS a girl.
but sometimes those breaks with old friends, from work, school, whatever – is definitely necessary.
its official. i’m planning one. merci for the inspiration, miss =)

I would kill for one of these weekends too! And the funny thing is, I’m not dating anyone so nothing is really stopping me except the fact that all my closest friends ARE dating people and feel they have sort of evolved past the want for ‘girlie weekends’. Which, is 98 different kinds of lame if you ask me. Fingers crossed that you get one in soon!
