Girlfriends (NSR)

Just thought I'd share some pics from a girls night out I had tonight.  There's a group of us that get together regularly.  We first met when our kids were babies and we'd meet during the day for some adult conversation, then we started getting together every month for book club.  Book club deteriorated since we all liked different books and we really preferred talking about our kids and husbands anyway.  Now with our busy lives, we only get together every few months but it's still super fun when we do. 
This was our first time doing teppenyaki.  Here's Stephanie playing chef

And here is Linda catching food being tossed in her direction by the chef.

I knew that Teppanyaki was getting to watch my food being cooked in front of me but I didn't realize that there was so much entertainment provided by the chef.  It was really an interesting experience. 

I'll just share with you an e-mail one of the girls sent around which I thought was hilarious and hope will give you a little grin.

The Girlfriends' Dinner

A group of 15-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner.
Finally, they agreed to meet at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean View
restaurant because they had only $6.00 among them and Jimmy Johnson, the
cute boy in Social Studies lived on that street.

10 years later, the group of 25-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet
for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Ocean View restaurant
because the beer was cheap, the restaurant offered free snacks, the band was
good, there was no cover and there were lots of cute guys.

10 years later, the group of 35-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet
for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Ocean View restaurant

late enough, there wouldn't be too many whiny little kids.

10 years later, the group of 45-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet
for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Ocean View restaurant

10 years later, the group of 55-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet
for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Ocean View restaurant

cholesterol.
