Florida: The Lost Weekend
Is there anything better than a long weekend with just the girls? In our current world of crazy lives where we are all spread out across the country, and can mainly only correspond via the telephone and internet, there is nothing better than getting together with your girlfriends for a long weekend of frivolity, hilarity, and a hell of a lot of drinking.
I just got back from Orlando, Fl, where I spent four days with my some of my Girls. We all have very different backgrounds, but one major thing in common; we understand the necessity of having a strong network of women we can count on when the chips are down, and when we just need to laugh so hard we pull something.
There is just something about it that cannot be achieved with a group of guys added into the mix. Maybe it is the fact that we can judge men from a far and mock them for their attempts to pick up on women. Perhaps it is the fact that we don't have to explain ourselves to each other, we are just accepting of who each one of us is. It could just be that women, when in the company of other women who are their intellectual equals, bring out the very best in each other.
We have been there for each other during some of the most horrific things life can throw at you. If you live long enough, the bad stuff is going to get each and every one of us. A solid network of girlfriends is the best thing in the world when you just need to rant, cry, or laugh. It is our own perfect trifecta.
The ranting is key. There are so many things that happen to us on a daily basis, ranging from the mildly annoying to the life altering that you just have to talk to someone about. Husbands, boyfriends, brothers, etc...can all try to help, but they really want to fix it and move on. Girlfriends, the true girlfriends, will listen to your rant, and then, this is key, they will rant back. They will join you in upping the ranting quotient until finally it becomes hilarious and you feel better without even thinking you could feel better in that moment.
So, thanks Girls! I'd post a picture of us in all of our glory, but we really never stopped laughing long enough to pose for a picture together.
I can't wait to see you all in LA!
