I needed a good time and I got one!

Picture it. Boston, February 27th, 2010. Seven hot chicks out looking for a good time.

We started out at the apartment of one of our good friends. She had a nice bunch of snacks set out for us to munch on before our night began in the city. My friends really are top notch hostesses all the way. They open their homes all the time and make us feel so welcome and loved and this trip was no exception. We arrived around 4 0'clock and couldn't wait to get ready! We had a night of dancing and entertainment planned and I for one really needed to relax and unwind. I was really excited to go out and tear the town up.

We ordered pizza for dinner and the 7 of us began the process of dressing and getting made up. Me being so low maintenance, it took me about 10 minutes. I put on my cowboy boots, jeans, a button-up shirt and one of my signature hats. I still don't know how to apply make-up so I went out plane faced as always. I love the quote from "The Mirror Has Two Faces" when Barbra Streisand was confronted about her lack of make-up. She said "What's the point? I would still look like me only in color" and that seems pretty logical and economical from where I sit. A real money and time saver for me so I live by it. We drove into the city and went to a place called Jacques. Now this is a place that I could learn a few things about make-up. It is home to a cabaret with talented drag queens and it provided us with smiles that didn't quit the entire time. My friends and I are a big bunch of goof balls and we ham it up everywhere we go and tonight we were out and true to form. We had a great time and took some priceless photos and made memories that at least myself and the one other sober one of the group will remember and share with our less then lucid pals for years to come.

After the show at Jacques was over, one friend had to go home but there were two more meeting us at The Roxy for some dancing. After a few mishaps, we settled in happily and danced and laughed the night away. My girls really know how to cut a rug! I don't know how they do what they do in the shoes they wear, they defy the laws of physics, logic and gravity! I go for comfort over style and knowing that a few of the ladies may tip back a few, and it is winter in New England I thought it best to be in practical footwear. My instincts were dead on.

The walk back to the parking garage was confused and cold and worked my upper body strength. We were heckled by boys who passed by but any lady worth anything knows to expect that and knows how to handle herself in that situation and the 7 remaining did just that every wobbly step of the way. We finally found the correct garage and our transportation for the evening and hopped in for the ride home. We already began reminiscing and laughed the whole way back with a few threats of peeing and lots of shivering and complaining about sore tootsies. Some of these poor girls really had barkin' dogs after all that dancing and walking around aimlessly about the city of Boston.

We got back to the apartment and blew up air mattresses and dug in to chow down on the leftover pizza and chips and things. We just laughed and repeated funny quotes that spilled from my friend's pie holes throughout the evening that will only be inside jokes and "You shoulda been there!" kind of stories forevermore. We changed into PJ's and slipped off into sweet slumber.

We all awoke this morning and slowly gained momentum. We picked up, packed up, dressed and hugged each other and prepared to bid each other farewell until the next adventure we embark on together. I've said it before and I'll say it again, my friends are the BEST and they can always pull me from a slump. If ever I want to learn the art of make-up application, I will turn to them over the ladies at Jaques. I really trust my friends with my physical and emotional well being without a doubt. Jacques gals are glamourous but my gals are beautiful both inside and out and am truly blessed to love and be loved by them. Thanks again for being my trusted bitches. I love you all forever, and the Jaques gang hold a special, sick place in my heart as well. *Wink
