see my friends more often

I was part of two “Girls Nights” this weekend. The first-a poker game with some of my closest girlfriends at my friend’s apartment. And then a few of us slept overnight and enjoyed a lazy morning and brunch at the local diner. It was relaxing, fun and laid back. Then I had an impromptu invitation to dinner, mostly with people I didn’t know-friends of a friend…and it was lovely. The dinner was delicious and it was cool meeting new people in an intimate setting like a dinner party.

I met up with a friend this morning for brunch at Friend of a Farmer. I have tried to eat brunch at this place several times, but to no avail. The wait is always at least an hour and the crowd outside is enormous-which makes me want to eat there even more! Finally, I figured it out…you have to beat the crowd. The place is decorated like a New England country cottage and most everything is served in a skillet-very quaint, but kind of hard to eat out of. I had the Eggs Florentine, with hollandaise on the side. A lovely Sunday morning!

Two birthday parties in two weeks! So much fun just hanging out with friends, and meeting a few new people along the way.

I’ve been choosing friends over gym workouts lately. It’s exercising my spirit!
