Girlfriends

Today I went onto Hulu for some nice Saturday afternoon background noise while I finished up a few things for Ovaleye, and to my surprise found Trailer 2 for the Sex and the City movie that is releasing in May. I was able to go to the last Sex and the City movie with one of my best girlfriends, our moms, and another great girl that was a mutual friend.

My friend had flown into Seattle for the weekend to try out on wedding dresses for fun while visiting her family. We were able to watch her try on dresses and have cosmos over lunch afterward before seeing the movie. A great time. Sex and the City is definitely more of an event than a movie to go to. The larger theme of the series and movie, being the importance of girlfriends in a woman’s life, is something that we can all relate to regardless of age or marital status.

With the many roles women take on in their daily lives and the social pressures put on them, having a set of girlfriends that you can go to for support, to have fun with, and share life’s monuments with eliminates some of the stress and frustrations that we may unfortunately pass off to our families at times.

Do you have a close set of girlfriends you can rely on? Or, do you consider the women in your life more of acquaintances than, as Samatha says, “soul mates.” Comment to share!
