Freedom Friday

This past Friday was Freedom Friday What is Freedom Friday I hear you asking. Good question. See my lady love Sarah has finally cast aside the dead weight she’s been carrying around for the past 8 years (read: her husband) and we, her family and friends gathered around her to celebrate her emancipation from the sanctity of marriage. The celebration took the form of drinking copiously at her local bar (and by local it’s 1 block away…lucky bitch!) and proceeding to party like it was…well not 1999 but certainly 2 years till the end of the world (if the Mayans are right)! Plus it was Friday and I am a sucker for alliteration.

I had a spot of bad news earlier in the day in that the service sub I had arranged to come do pedicures for us was detained at work and would not be able to make it. This only slightly upset us as we soon decided that My sub would just have to come down the following Friday and do it properly. So no harm no foul. And we certainly were not going to let that spoil our evening which started off on the right note when the bar tender bought Sarah her first drink when he heard it was Freedom Friday!

We headed to the patio where we entrenched ourselves and set up camp emerging only for the occasional margarita, beer, bomb pop or pineapple upside down cake shot. Oh and the other Sara at the gathering was pimpin hard with her G&T. We laughed. We sang (loudly). We made friends with our fellow bar patrons. And in general we gave her a good welcome to the neighborhood as well as a good Freedom Friday.

So many thanks to the lovely vanilla ladies who ventured out from Sarah’s work to celebrate. Many thanks to the equally lovely ladies at the table next to us who not only bought Sarah a shot but who also were damn fine conversationalists. To Wes for buying me drinks all night. (He was adorable. I had to card him to make sure he was legally allowed to be in the bar. Imagine my shock when he tells me he actually manages another bar around the corner. Plus he kind of looked like Wesley Crusher.) and above all thanks to my lady love Sarah for giving us a damn good excuse to convene a session of The Pampered Lushes.
