True Friends Stab You in the Front*

Or in the heart, right girls?? Hahaha. (I know inside jokes on blogs are L-AME but I couldn’t resist.)
Girls weekend? A-freaking-MAZING.
We had SO much fun. So much I can’t even explain it.
There was much damage done at the mall. I think we personally reversed this rumored “recession.” Also, the amount of bags for purchases may cause the landfills to finally overflow and spill over into our homes. Oh and the amount of food consumed? Forgetaboutit. I think I gained fifty pounds. Not even exaggerating. Ok maybe exaggerating a little. We ate at Logan’s Roadhouse twice. You heard me. TWICE. Mmmm buttery yeasty rolls.
We broke in the new house in style. I’m finding little goodbyes everywhere. Sara’s hand prints embedded in the carpet. The face masks we bought and didn’t use. The cake mix box on the counter. Leftover PF Changs reeking in the fridge. Tags from our many purchases sneaking out from under the bed and reminding me about the HOT outfits so-and-so bought and wore. A pink hair across the faucet. Elebenteen magazines piled on my (finally!) rumpled couch cushions (not a bad thing. They so needed breaking in).
There was so much joy and laughter in my home this weekend it almost burst. While it was nice to sleep in the same bed with my husband last night (he was SUCH a trooper over the weekend! He slept on his old bachelor mattress (that has no frame!) in the empty bedroom and hid himself away in the study watching sports. Love that man) I miss the bustle of the girls in my house. The door creaking open as the first one awoke and snuck into the bathroom. The early morning cell phone ring followed by a mad sprint to shut it off before it disturbed the beauty sleep. The blow dryers humming. The murmur and then roar of laughter from the family room. The oohing, aahing and breath holding as we watched the final scene of Pride & Prejudice. The smell of tanning lotion and sunscreen. The complaining about our bodies in bikinis followed by the shrill, shrieking disagreement (and threatening of throat punching) of the rest of the group insisting that every single one of us is gorgeous and amazing. The pure GIRLINESS of it all.
I love these girls like I can’t even explain. They complete my life and make me whole. The fifth annual soiree in Vegas CANNOT come soon enough.

SO glad you had that much-needed blast weekend with the girls! (I borrowed Brillig in the meantime.) And I’m convinced that LAUGHTER and LOVE are the absolute BEST ways to break in a house!

Aw, fun! Your husband was such a trooper to have stayed around it all!
I just had a girl’s weekend, too, but it didn’t involve any shopping. But that’s ok! Sounds like you and your friends did enough shopping for ALL womankind!
