full moon = girls night out

Six of us (The Six Girls: jane, jee, hillary, ashley, kat and me) get together once a month for Girls Night Out. Our first one started almost 6 months ago (arranged by jane) and for me personally it was so wonderful, as I had just begun the seperation process with my boyfriend and it was so nice to have their support.

Since then I've been living on my own and enjoying this grand new chapter in my life. We've all had an awesome summer getting to know eachother with parties, bbq's, brunches, movies and more. They're just how good girlfriends should be: we can confide in eachother, get advice, go grab a quick drink, throw kick ass parties, get jiggy on the dancefloor, talk books, music, traveling, life goals, health issues, make eachother laugh and much more. Life is a much better place with a good set of girlfriends at your side :)

So every month we celebrate this on the full moon. Sometimes it's mellow and we just have dinner, and other times it's a bit more rowdy. Seeing as how this month's full moon landed on a Saturday night, we expanded the circle and invited a bunch of other girls to join us out for a night on the town.

The rain, however, put a bit of a damper on our full force, dressed to kill, bar hopping plans... but we had a great time anyway. After a change of venues the core 6 started at Esperpento for dinner. We ate some yummy tapas, caught up on the new developments in eachothers lives and had a tasty pitcher of sangria preparing us just perfectly for the next part of our evening.

We met the rest of the girls at our regular hangout, the LAC (Latin American Club), and I'd say at our peak we had about 12 girls there - which didn't go un-noticed by the men in the bar, mind you! Any time I went up for a drink I got asked about this strange phenominon of a whole table full of cute girls by some guy. "How do you all know eachother?" "Whats the big occasion?" A couple of which even asked if they could join our girls night by expressing "Hey, I'm sensitive!". ha! One even made the sly move to sit down with us - but I immediately said, "Sorry buddy - this is girls only! SCRAM!" :)

The evening turned out to be such a great time. We even went out and basked in the beautiful glow of the full moon... it looked so awesome with the clouds rushing by so fast!

Thanks for another great night, girls.... you rock!! mmoooiiiii!!!!! xoxo
