Girls Night Out

There's a span of time when you have children that you seem to exist only for them. After a few years (or four, in this case) you come out of your shell and reaquaint yourself with all of the non-parent friends you've neglected over the past few years.

Or you just start getting out more with other parents- but without the kids in tow. It's startling what a revelation this is once you've been in kid-mode for so long.
I went out last weekend with a few girlfriends for dinner and drinks. We had a perfectly gossipy dinner and ended up visiting some of the town's most notorious bars. I almost remembered what it was like to be young again. Kind of. I was still home and in bed by 10pm. But I got close to that feeling at least.

And best of all- no one can resist a table full of women. Not even the table-side bananas foster chef. One giant dessert on the house!
