Lassies' Night

It's an understatement to say I was excited for my first girls' night in Scotland! Through Davy, I'd met some fantastic girls, and it surprised me to discover how much we had in common (especially Emma, an art teacher with a LOST obsession that rivals my own). We'd visited several times before, but always with our boyfriends, so to get away and have some girl talk was so refreshing...

Being in Germany has been wonderful, but it's also been a bit lonely for both Davy and me. He has some British guys to talk to at work, but no one is there now that he would want to make plans to hang out. I cannot even hold a conversation with people here who already have a grasp of English, so there's really no way any of them would get little jokes or be able to connect with most of my references. That's not to say I'm not enjoying myself here--it just reminds me how much I miss my family and friends back home.

We met up at Leoni's for a glass of wine before hopping in a "people mover" to head into Glasgow to get some supper and out to Boho. We discussed Louise's wedding planning, Emma's teaching, and generally caught up with Amy, Lynette, Leoni and me. It gave me a shot in the arm of estrogen. It also made me appreciate Davy for the fact that he has to be my girlfriend while we're in Deutchland...and, of course, it goes without saying it made me long to catch up with my girls back home! Here's to feeling like one of the girls.
