Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

This was totally just inspired by a good, good friend of mine on twitter - follow me @AngBowers. I have the best discussions on twitter with my friends.


Previously, I wrote about "Plan B." That post where I said "embrace the singlessness" if that's your situation. Well, this is exactly how I'm doing that this summer. 


This summer has been declared Girls Summer 2012. Why? Because it can be. We decided that it's time to go and do some of the things we've always wanted to. To laugh as much as possible. Be adventurous when all possible. And...no boys allowed - at least, no boyfriends. Maybe if the right one comes along. Maybe ;)


I do want to tell this story (ies) though when we were in Atlanta for a Secondhand Serenade / Boyce Anderson concert -


On our way to dinner (we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe), we were trying to find a place to park. Well, downtown is full of awesome one way streets. Bless those terrible one way streets. I went down a one way street the wrong way (on purpose) because there was an empty parking spot at the top of the street. Well, I was totally parked illegally. We were sitting there and this is our dialogue:
Susan: Ang, we can't park here.
Me: (yelling and stupidly pointing) COPS!
Susan: Yes, I know there are cops. I just heard the sirens.
Me: No! Right THERE!
*Both of us pretend to be busy and act lost*
There were cops staring at us as they were walking down the steps of a precinct office. I seriously was laughing so hard (I was staring at the street sign "wondering" where we were). So, I put my little Sentra in reverse and we got out of there and found a legal place to park.
Trying to find a place for the concert was even crazier. Somehow, we managed to park in a parking garage where the thing you pay at was broken - so we had to break out. For real. I owe them 2 bucks. I still wonder sometimes if I ever show up in Atlanta and get pulled over, I'm going to have a warrant out for my arrest. We pull out of that parking garage onto...yes, you guessed it...another one way street. The dialogue:
Susan: ANG! THIS IS A ONE WAY STREET!
Me: I know....
Susan: THERE IS TRAFFIC COMING!
Me: *thinking* I can totally make it to the parking garage without killing us
Susan: Turn around! Turn around!
Me: Alright. Alright. 
We managed to get to the concert safely and we met Secondhand Serenade (the man, John, himself).


That is kind of just a taste of what happens when Susan and I hang out. 


Our plans for this summer are awesome! Our "KickOff Event" was the Saturday before Memorial Day and we spent the day at a water park and went to the Melting Pot. We are registered for a 5K. Hittin' up New Orleans in August and going by train. The beach for a weekend. And revisiting Atlanta for a Braves game. Of course, every Thursday, you will find us at our favorite place in town for Prequel Night :) 


Girls Summer 2012 is going to be the best. 


Find those good friends who bring out the best in you. Those friends who are always honest with you, who will cry with you, laugh with you, and sit with you in hard times. Those are your true friends. That's really all the advice I have. 


Oh...and enjoy your summer! You only get one summer in 2012 - make the most of it!
