A Weekend with the Girls
I'm about to embark on untreaded adventures. I am spending the weekend with six gal pals. I'm invited to the cabin of one of the women for some art time. Well, I am going to work on some collages and cards for the shop while they scrapbook. They're letting me go despite the fact that I don't scrapbook. ha ha.
But what really kind of worries me is that I've never spent three days with just girls in my entire life. Sounds strange now that I realize it. A couple of you who have met me in person may know that I'm not really a girl's girl. I have girlfriends, but I'm not the chat on the phone-let's go to the mall together kind of friend. Even when I went to camp as a kid, there were boys there to pal around with. My husband understands this completely. He knows that I'd rather stand around with him and the guys. I've always been more comfortable with boys. Maybe due to the fact that I grew up in a court with all boys. I was almost the youngest too. My only interaction with girls (I have no sisters, either) was being giggled at by the girls that lived across the street from the court for playing with boys. I wanted to throw rocks at them.
I can't remember why I said I'd go on this weekend trip. I'm getting a little anxious about it. It really did sound like a good idea at the time to get lots of work done. We'll sit around and drink margaritas and wine....
So alas, I'll never have that "Sex & the City" gal pal thing going. I'll never know the "sisterhood" feeling. I have wonderful women in my life (including many of you), but I probably wouldn't know what to do with it any further than that.
Sound crazy?
