I love my girlfriends. They are women from all walks of life, in every stage of family and personal development, and when we get together, sometimes magical things happen. With these women I am able to shed my insecurities and self-consciousness and just let the good times roll.
Last night some of my best friends came over just to "hang-out". Over a few cocktails and some hilarious YouTube videos, we were inspired to choose a song from every letter of the alphabet and attempt to dance like the people in the videos. I don't think I've laughed so hard or sweat so much in at least the last year. Some of my particular favorites included House of Pain's "Jump Around", Maroon 5 "Moves Like Jagger" and Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls".
We danced for 3 solid hours, right there in my living room. I seriously doubt we looked anything like the dancers in the videos but we sure as hell had some fun in the attempt. The best part for me was being able to truly let go, release my inner dance machine without strangers looking on with pursed lips and shaking heads, wondering why the fat chick thinks she can bust a move. My girlfriends were right there with me, doing their own impressions of Freddy Mercury and Jennifer Lopez, looking just as hilarious as I most certainly did.
The next morning we were all posting facebook updates about how stiff and sore we were, how old we felt, and how smelly my living room became over the course of the night, yet every one of us began our posts with "had such an amazing, fun night last night". Here's to my peeps, we may be old but we certainly still know how to rock the house!
