Taking "girls weekend" to a whole new level. Maybe the basement level...

In retrospect, there should have been more photos... But for what it's worth, there were some polariods passed around that more than made up for the lack of digital photos.
Here it is, August and time to celebrate Nini's birthday. Of course I offer to take all of us to the city in the van. And why not, the weather is gorgeous, it seats 6 plus all our crap, and we are set to go. It's like watching Romey and Michelle's highschool reunion, when they are just setting out.. lots of "woo hoo" and high fives. Tunes are cranking and we are having a blast. Nini is killing herself laughing at how many people are passing us and taking pics with the camera phones, or throwing out the peace sign. I take it all in stride, but she is just killing me, cause she's so damn funny, her laugh is infectious.
First stop - West Edmonton Mall. We split up, maximizing our purchasing power. When we finally get back together, and Nini tells me about some friends she ran into, who said they saw us on the highway (oblivious it was actually us) but remembered seeing the van. Too funny.

Armed with new shoes the girls head out. To the Union - We are dancing... until I have a "wardrobe malfunction" nothing serious, but it puts an end to me jumping around on the dance floor. Just as well, it's amateur wet T shirt night. Woo Hoo!!! It was pretty bad, but gave us a laugh. The poor bastard that was dressed up as an old woman for his stag looked like he was pretty happy to those girls that night, or at least something taking the focus off his polyester dress.
Janelle and I have blistered feet, fucking new shoes anyway.... so we head back early, just as well, the meat market wasn't exactly working for us, and I felt like the oldest person there (maybe I was).

The rest of the story is best left untold, but as with most girl nights... liquor + new shoes +estrogen = catfight. We look back and laugh now, but trust me, no one was too amused at 5:00 a.m that night....
Denny's for breakfast just hours later, people are pretty quiet around the table, idle chit chat at best. Everyone is exhausted, but we are looking forward to a cool quiet ride home, which is exactly what we had. The van made it all better, in the end, we were all talking to each other and it still went down as one of the most memorable times we all had together.
