Laughing with the Ladies!

I went to dinner last night with two friends. We see each other a lot (car pools, chatting, play date drop offs, etc.), but don't get that many chances to sit down uninterrupted and talk and laugh. (By the looks I was getting from the people at the next table, I think we may have been a wee bit loud and wee bit, shall we say, expressive -- there was a part of the conversation which included more than your average number of expletives). It's such a treat to sit down, order drinks, wait to order appetizers and wait even longer to order an entree. There were 3 tables still seated at the restaurant when we left. We weren't in a rush to get anywhere! What a concept! And we took a cab. Not a bad way to go on a cold and icy, and sangria filled night.

You always read that having friends is important to one's well being. It almost doesn't matter what you talk about. The inevitable laughing releases all those endorphins and serotonin, and you get home thinking, I need to do that more often. So you guys know who you are, thanks for last night. And to all my friends, I feel so lucky to have all of you in my life. And let's go out and laugh some more!
