Tonight I am meeting the girls at old Corner Pub to celebrate Jackie's birthday! I can't wait, seriously, it has been so long since I've been out. I'm trying to think of the last time I went out for dinner/drinks and the only thing I can come up with is EdgeWild when Alessandra was in town. But wasn't that back in January?? Gasp. So needless to say I've been looking forward to this ALLLL week. I am notorious for cancelling plans but not today. One of the big bonuses of going out tonight is that Corner is now walking distance from my house, woohooo. I am one of those people that is super paranoid about having even one cocktail and driving which is why I usually have John pick me up and drop me off for girls nights. So bonus for him, he gets the night off from driving duty and can play video games to his heart's content. Win-win for everyone.
Time to get real now. I've been nesting with John in a honeymooner's bliss for over a year and its time come out of our little bubble. I'm also very self-entertained and independent which also leads to hermit like behavior. All of this adds up to me neglecting my friendships. This is a huge no-no. Like Tom Haverford would say, "This is one of my Oh-no-no's". Somebody call the Friend Protective Services on me, I've been found negligent and incompetent. BUT like I said I'm ready to come out of my cocoon and rejoin society. My friends are always there for me and they deserve the same in return. I'm so lucky to have found such great friends throughout my life and I mean to hold onto them for as long as I'm alive.
Ok time to get my work finished so I can shower, dress, and be on time tonight. Another one of my efforts to be a better friend, showing up ON TIME.
Happy Birthday Jackie!! Can't wait to celebrate with you tonight! Will you be getting a turkey burger, no bun, veggies on the side with a glass of red wine? :)
Cheers!
Tina
