One of my favorite sorors recently bought a home a few blocks away from us. On New Year’s Day, they held a lovely brunch that we had the pleasure of attending. At the brunch we connected with another couple that also bought a home in our neighborhood recently. We all clicked and decided to have a couples night out last Saturday.
We found sitters and headed out to see Red Tails and to dinner afterwards. Over the last few months, I have attended several events to support my wonderful friends that promote business ventures, clubs, after work happy hours, parties, etc. Can I just tell you? I am over that whole scene. Yup, it’s official, I AM OLD. I am not trying to stand around a club in heels all night with random men trying to approach with their best lines. UGH. I don’t miss that at all.
Sitting down with a glass of wine, enjoying a nice dinner and good conversation? Count me in every time. The three ladies rocking jeans and sweaters and snow boots due to the snow? EVEN BETTER. Comfy, casual, grown up fun is underrated.
The funny thing is, I felt like such a SUBURBANITE. Couple friends? Wine? Dinner and a movie? What’s next? Playing mahjong and hosting Tupperware parties? This may be the first step towards being uncool people. I can’t wait to do it again.
Never worry! That’s what all of the cool people do, drink wine and hang out with like-minded friends.
Board games. Wine & Appettizers. THE LIFE
THIS.. and add a few games on the Wii.. you know MJ Experience, Black Eyed Peas Experience so ya’ll can bust a move LOL GOOD TIMES!!!
Now you ladies need to start up your book club while the men have their poker night. LOLOLOL I want some couple friends! The one chick who tried to appropriate me for couple frienddom wasn’t really to my liking so… Hm. We have one we like in Atlanta but that’s not close enough.
One day…
I am right there with you! Good grief, when I drive though Hollywood on a Saturday night and see that women have adopted the no pants trend…no ma’am, I will stay my behind home and hang with my friends.
i’m 25 and all that sounds good to me lol. I’ve never really been a club person anyway. I’d much rather go to a house party/party thrown by friends. And even that isn’t as appealing anymore.
I honestly cannot wait to have couple dates!! When I go visit my guy, we do it sometimes with his cousin and her guy and his aunt and her husband. I LOVE it!!! But yeah I’ve been over the whole club scene for a while. I love just going to dinner and calling it a day…especially when I don’t have to dress up! LOL
I wish we had more couple friends! It’s so nice to hang out with like minded folks, especially since so many marriages are ending these days.
Love it!!! And, don’t sleep on mahjong! Those ladies get DOWN! I wish that Hubs and I had more couple friends, but he’s not nearly as open to meeting new people as I am. We do like to hang with my cousin and her hubs though.
