The Single & Married One
Girls’ Night Out Park Hyatt Toronto
Sometimes it’s not about being married or single. It’s just about girlfriends. What’s more energizing than traveling without the “guys?” You’re on your own in a strange city – no rules- no timetables. You shop all day (hide the receipts) & the really good girlfriend tells you to buy that extra dress. Dinner at 10 PM then hit the night clubs for the single one. Relax??? (not with Sandy, you’ll need a nap when you return.) You have intimate sexual confessions, laugh til it hurts & eat cookies at 2 am. So now we plan next year’s trip… where should we go? Sandy needs a cold climate – Barb needs a beach – Ok 2 vacations!
Packing Light!
The Single One
Do we need the “Spark” le in our dates. If so, how soon – the first date? Or do you give him a second or third date? Are we so focused on the “Sparkle” that we are willing to overlook his kindness, availability, & thoughtfulness. Do we need drama in order to maintain our interest? Wow – when can we ever get it right? The magic combination of heart throb and availability. Do we pass by the really good guys up & stay with the losers? And then complain to our girlfriends about them not calling, not showing up, and treating us badly. How much”sparkle” is required to sustain our single girl interest?
A little help can’t hurt!
The Married One
During a marriage you are bound to hit a couple of rough patches. You begin to reassess. What do we have in common? He loves Chinese and Mexican food and your idea of ethnic is a trip to Southern Italy! He is a political junkie and you are fashion obsessed. You love yoga and workout & he well… just doesn’t. Then you remember. You finish each other’s sentences, he is your best friend, playmate and protector. Plus he makes the best cappuccino and brings it to you in bed). You are in this marriage together and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Married One
The progression of married life goes something like this. “Lets go away for a quick impromptu weekend jaunt becomes lets go to New York City which becomes lets go business class, which becomes lets stay at the Plaza, which becomes center seats for the new Broadway show, which beomes dinner reservations at the new hot spot” which becomes… And so it goes on the married go round of life.
The Single One
First Dates… Are they seductive or painful? Another night you need to do your hair, make up & find the sexy outfit. Will it be an exhausting or a surprise evening? Not much beats the first kiss- especially if your expectations are low. If he’s a really good kisser the night is bound for a 2:00 am close. Of course – add a few extra cocktails into the mix and it certainly enhances the night. What about really bad first dates – they are sadly countless. You always need the back up plan. So in the single world, a good first date is intoxicating and keeps you stimulated and lured for date 2.
