This past week has really shown me that women need friends.
At some point in our lives, we women are single. We find our selves comfortable with our singleness. We build strong relationships with our best friends and the other women in our lives.
And then, we meet Him. No, not the religious God version, mind you. He is the guy that becomes the single most important thing in our life. For the first few months of the relationship we slowly lose touch with both ourselves and the relationships we have built with the women in our lives.
Then one day we wake up. We wake up and see that our guy has friends, hobbies, school or work and we have Him. Hmmm. We temporarily lost ourselves but the strong relationships we built haven't weakened, they've only been in stasis for a time.
We pick up where we left off.
This last week two of my friends confided in me that they realized that they needed more of what we refer to as Girl Time. It might be something as simple as a Pilates class followed by a glass of wine, or just an hour watching trashy tv and talking about clothes and shoes and the best place to find cheap designer jeans.
Mind you, we're aren't the shallow women who's lives are all about shopping shopping shopping and E entertainment channel. We are the gals who spend time at work, school, with our guys and trying to better our lives. All that responsibility blended with the day to day life causes the fun girly stuff to sit in the shoe box at the top of our closets, getting dusty.
But unlike the jeans that we put on the top shelf, we don't grow out of the fun.
So yeah, I'm looking forward to my two evenings this week with my lovely gal pals.
-wine and watching
