Quote: It is times like those that I wish we all lived near each other and could just go have a big "hen party" and not even fool with our significant others on special occasions like bdays. I begin to understand the "coffee klatches" and "girl vacations" of middle aged ladies that you see who meet to laugh, play, and just be themselves - for once. I always just assumed it was a "girl thing" - now I think it is a bunch of women who are making up for years of keeping quiet, bending themselves around others needs etc...
Well, I read somewhere that the 50s are usually the happiest decade of a woman's life due to less responsibility and more self-knowledge. If we get together for my next birthday I want everyone to wear their ugliest most comfortable shoes to the party and bring lots of chocolate.
