Ladies Night

I went dancing last night and it was SO much fun!!

First of all, I looked great. I didn't worry about how I looked at all. I even giggled at the girls spending all of their time fixing their makeup in the bathroom. Why would you want to be doing that when you could be dancing!?

Second, I had fun. And when you are whole-heartedly enjoying yourself, others do too. Our fun was contagious. We were "those girls" that were having the time of our lives out there on the dance floor. We didn't care what anyone else thought. I think people were drawn in by the smiles on our faces. Some guy came into the middle of our circle and started pop-and-locking to MJ. It was hilarious. And the sweet old man asked us each to dance and twirled us one by one all around the dance floor.

There were some funny things too...

I stood in line to pee and when a stall finally opened up, two girls came out. I'm pretty sure there was some pretty serious stuff going on in that stall before I used it to relieve myself. In fact, I know there was because they continued their drunken groping session in front of the sinks.

Also, I heard a cowboy say the phrases "Well, hot dog!" and "I've been shakin it like a wet noodle all night!" in context. Flawlessly. Without batting an eye. I was laughing so hard at the fact that someone actually uses these amazing figures of speech. Here's how it went:

Me: It's her birthday!

Cowboy: Well, Hot Dog, we need a shot then!

Gia: I want to go dance.

Cowboy: Well, damn, I've been shakin it like a wet noodle all night!

There was also a guy doing the two step by himself at an aerobic pace. He was SERIOUS. He was going right right, left left very quickly around the perimeter of the dance floor for hours. It was really bizzare.

I thought I had another funny story but I cant remember it right now....but I'm sure you can tell I had a great time.

There is something wonderful about the combination of dancing, girlfriends, and confidence.

I'm really thankful those ladies are in my life. I dig having friends.
