Herding Cats

Planning the invasion of Normandy, or organizing the Olympics would have been easier.

Last night was another round of BBHH, aka Blogger Bitches Happy Hour, aka Girls Night Out. Organized by Zenchick, at one of my
favorite pubs, it took no less than 58 emails (as evidenced by gmail and Zenchick) to get all 10 of us together for eats and drinks.

I haven't laughed that hard in months (largely because my rib is now healed, but still..). We need to do this more often, but getting 10 or 12 independent, outspoken, busy, funny women to agree on anything is an exercise in comic frustration to begin with.

And men? Who needs 'em! Besides, then Wayne would have to share his new found harem, and I really think he liked the fact that we took over the back room in his pub on a weeknight (that, and we're good tippers).
