In need of a little estrogen...

Considering that I work in an office of nine women, you would think that such a phrase would never enter my mind, let alone escape my lips, but I have decided that I need some girl time. I spent Saturday night on a girls only excursion and enjoyed myself so much that I planned two more for this week. Tonight is girls night at the movies where we fully intend to enjoy the action packed "Quantum of Solace" James Bond movie. Naturally we are only going because of the amazing stunt work, it has nothing to do with the the *shiver* leading man. On Wednesday night, the plan is to attend an all girls spa party to clean and buff our faces to a new shine, which has nothing at all to do with the gossip and laughter that will permeate the entire evening. *snicker* At least that is what we tell ourselves...


Growing up in a family of four girls certainly gave me plenty of girl time, and I am very happy to say that it also gave my brother girl time as well. I remember him as a four year old kid, wearing a blue green dress and too big high heels, tottering around behind us. (I also remember him wearing a red and black skirt and dancing around in it. That was only last year, but still... ) We had spa parties, movies and innumerable Mary Kay makeup sessions. We celebrated and enjoyed being girls.


Some guys attempt to understand what the draw is with girl time and why their wives/girlfriends make it a priority in their busy schedule. It must be important to them, right guys? Otherwise why would they give up their time watching you surf the Internet, play video games or watch TV? *smirk*


So men, don't interfere when your lady wants some girl time. Offer to watch the kids, do the dishes or at least stay out of the way. She will be happier, and therefore, you will be happier.


Just for you, Mo. And by the way, a kilt is still a skirt. What a stud!
