Entitled to have some fun.......


Women are entitled to their girls night out. After you marry someone, you become a we, but when you go to use the toilet alone, it's just you unless you take him with you too. I'm grateful for my alone time with my girlfriends. It's time to be able to unwind, talk about things that could be bothering you. I'm glad that Aaron allows me to have my girl time. He gets his alone time being on the computer or watching TV. We have our time together. That's great too. There is so much of together time you can have. Going grocery shopping, Target, doing laundry, making dinner sometimes. After all that, you need a little space, even when you are home.



Besides all that, I had a great time. I really missed April being there. And La too. The food was amazing. I got my usual Pork Carnitas Sopes. It's really good. It's a big dish. I ordered green beans with pancetta and garlic roasted potatoes with a nice aioli sauce. It was great. We brought bottles of wine and Renee was so nice to not charge us a corkage fee. Rachael brought a red wine, Corissa brought me a bottle of Stella Rosa and Sangria. They were so good. There was so much bread, thank God it helped with alcohol absorption and the bread kept coming. Renee brought dessert for us. I ordered the Chocolate Mousse Cake but I also got a small birthday creme blrule. They sang happy birthday, it was great and I felt a little sad missing Ethan and MaryJane. MaryJane would have love this party. I almost cried when there were singing. i was really miss Ethan. He would have been here with us and I wouldn't have had a birthday dinner. All my time would have been all about him.

I'm grateful for a lot of things but most of all is that God has continued to give me life. Without my life, I wouldn't be here, enjoying my 40th birthday. Brenda, Jenny and Christy got me a $40 gift card from Wal-Mart. Corrisa and Gloria gave me gift certificates to Company's Coming. Malia gave me a Starbucks card for $15. My dad and brother gave me money. MIL gave me a $25 regal movie gift card. Amy hasn't gotten anything but I think it's a surprise. Aaron, gave me Ethan and that's a gift all by it's self. I can't ask for anything more but gift cards are great. Specially in the this economy. That's great. I'm so blessed.
