I love a good girls night out. And let’s face it, for me, a “night out” involves cocktails and dessert. And if I get really crazy, I just do double dessert.
Moving here to California has really pushed me to find some girl friends. I’ve had to put myself out there. I feel like I’m showing them just enough sass before they think I’m just crazy. And there’s no better way-in my opinion-than through a sex joke. I’m talkin’ right in the beginning too. “What would you ladies like to drink?”, and then BAM! It just puts everyone off and really at ease. You see, you can only talk about the surface stuff for so long before you yearn to grow deep. I feel like we need that, as women. And the one surefire way to grow deeper is for you to go there first.
Just recently I was talking with a friend about how my body was a large part of my ego and feelings of attractiveness, and I did it….I just put my weight out there (gasp). I’m currently 136 pounds, but my “feel good” weight is 134. (Update: I’m now at 130! Losing the baby weight! Woohoo!)And you know what, it felt good. We had a great conversation after that.
Ok, so delving out your weight is not necessarily deep stuff, but I went there. And I’m going there. Next time I might feel like talking about stretch marks or my daddy issues. I might even share the pains I’ve been through. And then I’ll look up and realize I’ve got a friend right there.
A good friend once said, “We weren’t meant to do life alone.”…so, brush up on your sex jokes.
