Out all night


There were margaritas with fresh-squeezed lime juice. There was Rotel cheese dip, guacamole and chips. There were beloved friends. There was a lot of talk about books and movies. There were many games of a card game called Onze that I'd never played before but managed to rise to the task with the help of drunken friends. There was so much laughing that I nearly wet my pants (not panties) a number of times. I left at 1:00 in the morning, a time that I haven't seen, awake, in a long, long time. I am lightened by laughter and drink and cards and friendship.

    There is nothing like friendship, laughter and a whole lota fresh margarita to soothe the soul, eh? BTW, "panties" is my least favorite word in the entire English language....another similarity we share!
