Guess where I went Thursday night . . .
The decor was funky and the lighting dim.
There were fruity drinks and truffle fries and creme brulee.
This gal stood on a chair.
And these two finally tied the knot.
Sorry Tom and Tech Support!
Mel from A Dramatic Mommy, Cheri at Blog this Mom!, Jenn, Kate from katydidnot, Deb from San Diego Momma and Jamie from Choosing my Own.
Not pictured--Mamasphere and the Bitches Secret Boyfriend #1--the guy at the bar that laughed at our shoe shot and took this picture for us!
At 5:00, after a long day of working on school projects and high off rubber cement glue, getting gussied up and driving up the 5 in rush hour traffic held little appeal. But could I miss a chance to hang with my bitches? I could not.
Of course I made the right decision. A night out with these gals and our new friend Laural was just what I needed. Stressed out from schoolwork and lack of household employment who? Not me anymore.
The cherry on the top of my delicious sundae?
Deb and I were both extremely annoyed by this sign. They're talking about hairdos. So does this place belong to someone named hairdo? It looks to be a hair salon--I'm confident that they mean plural hairdos not possessive hairdos. Why do people do this?! What is the world coming to?! Why does it make me so happy to know that Deb is peeved by this?!
P.S. To The Girl Next Door--were yourmears burning? We've got plans for you this spring.
P.P.S. To Aaryn--we missed you!
P.P.P.S. The evening was complete when I listened to my BitchFest mix CD (thanks Deb!) on the drive home. Even an unexpected freeway ramp closure did not dampen my mood.
Blog This Mom! and katydidnot send love from our honeymoon suite at an undisclosed location . . .

Looks like so much fun. So lucky you all live so close together...well close enough.
Signs like that irk me too.
I avoid any business that can't use proper english in the title.
Take care,
Suz

OK, I have to tell you, you have an m where a space should be, in your PS.
You would tell me if I had broccoli stuck in my teeth, right?
I don't eat broccoli, but you get it.

Martinis, great company and dessert, couldn't get any better!

Maybe its Do's and not Dos because because would read it, "Duz and Lipstick" huh? Or "Doss and Lipstick". So the apostrophe is for pronunciation purposes.
Just guessing.
Ya'll make a beautiful group of women. Not to mention fun. Just sayin'

You all have so much fun together!!!

I can never meet you in person, my shoes are too bad. :P

Jenn - I'm all with you about editing signs and such. Friends of mine cringe when thinking about how I once edited a menu written in English and then left it in the place of a tip.
I felt I was totally right in doing so in a community that relies on business from other countries...

I love trying to figure out whose shoes are whose.
I think they added the apostrophe because it would look like dos - the programming language. While it is linguistically and grammatically incorrect, it is just to ease the mind - kind of like ending a sentence with a preposition. Sometimes it just works.

You guys are all so gorgeous! Honestly.

The shoe shots always get me. I really need to get me some fashionable shoes, because I would NOT fit in with this group.

Thanks for enduring traffic on the 5. This Bitch sure loves your Bitchness. Truly.
Posted by: Just Jamie | October 24, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Oooh I can't wait for spring! Thanks bitches!
And I admit it - last week in a pulic bathroom as I was washing my hands I noticed a sign on the back of the door - mass-produced public service message to "drive safe". And I took out my sharpie and added "ly". Who planned that ad campaign and why don't they know about adverbs?!
Just sayin...
But don't tell on me. I don't know what possessed me - I have never ever done that before!

What fun!

Oh my...but stupid English mistakes all ovah da place!! I got my Sharpie and I'm not afraid to use it. Would be better traveling with Cheri and GND 'cause they got that lawyer thang going on...you know...just. in. case.
I think that it's great that you all can get together like that...especially katydidnot and cheri...have they registered anywhere? or do i just send money?
Posted by: debbie | October 25, 2008 at 05:23 AM
Ahhhhh, great fun!
Did Cheri bring her husband?
Posted by: Jason | October 25, 2008 at 05:59 PM
Oh I'm so jealous. And even moreso after hearing about the proper English discussion. I would so enjoy a drinking, shoe-parading, grammar smackdown with you guys :D

OMG - I wish you people lived in my part of the world!

I am SO TIRED of apostrophes being stuck in places they don't belong! PLURALS seem to have escaped somewhere along the way. I want to scream, "People! We can add on an 's' without a freaking apostrophe!" But then I might look like I don't have a life. (Which, clearly, I do not... but that's beside the point.)
Love your blog! Have bookmarked it (oh, wait--should that be bookmark'd -- KIDDING!!!) and will keep reading.
Posted by: Susan | October 29, 2008 at 06:41 PM
What fun. Bad Mom and I will be on our way, shortly.
(Oh, how I wish.)
