WEEKENDS WERE MADE FOR GIRLS

It’s not often that women get entire nights to themselves these days it seems. A couple weeks ago, when I revealed to Becky and Amy that I’d be taking care of two perfect pooches for a few weeks, we all decided that the opportunity couldn’t be better. After the week each of the three of us had, the timing couldn’t be more spot-on. The girls game over armed with vodka, popcorn, “The Way We Were” with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford on DVD, pajamas, mud mask, CDs, and a third adorable doggie named “Peanut.” I supplied the place, the beer and the “Sex and the City” trivia game.

The night ensued…

Three ladies + three dogs + one Photobooth = Tons Of Fun!

Casey loves his soccer ball, despite the fact that it’s twice the size of his head. I am pretty sure he’ll be trying out for the Arsenal team for their next season.

Becky shakes it…Becky shakes it real good.

The questions and the concept were far too easy, so instead we took turns answering questions while competing against each other. Last person to answer the question takes a drink.

Amy used an old-fashioned popcorn popper and made a big pot of buttery dreams.

This afternoon, Becky and I hit up H&M en route to Ikea. Flip flops…lots of glorious flip flops.

Ikea’s started charging a nickel for each plastic bag you use and then donating the proceeds to Trees Canada. You can, of course, buy one of their nifty reusable bags for $1.

Because Tony says so. That’s why we do the things we do. He wanted lots of pictures, so he got a few (in addition to this little saucepot).

And now, after an extremely long - but extremely fun - last 24 hours, it’s time to tuck myself into bed with Benji, Casey and “The Devil and Daniel Johnston.”

Such a great way to spend a Friday night. I don’t spend enough time with just the girls!!

The Devil and Daniel Johnston = Excellent Movie

Laurie

I stumbled across the movie late one night on tv. I hadn’t ever heard of Daniel Johnston before a friend of yours had mentioned him. I watched this movie in awe of his talent, and saddened by his mental illness.

Lyndsey

Loved that movie.. The man is an utter genius really. It seems as though some of the world’s greatest talents and most creative minds are those that are at conflict with their inner demons or have some sort of illness.

It can be both a blessing and a curse to own both I suppose…

Anyways, so nice to hear that your grrls night was a complete success and that you finished it all off watching a very great flick- (and you get to do that in the company of some very charming little fuzzy buddies:0)
