Positives: seeing how nice it would be to have sisters to hang around and watch trashy tv with. Bonding over food (which included chocolate covered strawberries, cookie doe dip which you dipped animal crackers into.. hummus etc.) ALSO a positive positive would be there was this AMAZING looking/smelling chili that I was all "awwhh shucks" about because I do not eat meat.. and the host went out of her way (much to my bashfulness "no no thats okay..") and scooped up a giant chunk of the top of the chili so I could enjoy it too!!! awwhhh!, cute dog, drinks, friendliness, laughs, time with my mama, and some of her 'peeps'
Negatives: how mean women are with criticizing other women.. its kind of hurtful even when it is not directed at me. I seem to have one of those personality times that I can put myself in another person's shoes quite easily and imagine how it is that they feel.. so listening to people talk about how funny someones voice and how they walk.. well.. I find it sad. NOT saying I haven't done it.. but after analysing this experience quietly and sticking up for the girl being picked on.. I realise I'm going to have to be aware of my own actions and what I say about people... I mean yes.. I am human and I allow myself to be grumpy about some xgirlfriends... (usually though just because they are just so gosh darn pretty!) But maybe.. I should.. try harder not too..taking advice from my own blog.. its easier to hug then to make fists and grumble all the time..
More positives: I haven't seen one of the ladies since I was a wee little one.. but I did name a butterfly after her when I was in kindergarten.. so I must have thought she was pretty rad at the time! so that was nice to see who this woman in my memories actually is. (and she's cute as a button! so I am pleased that I named a butterfly after her and think I had made a very wise choice)
Also cute: the person hosting this party gave everyone a rose when we left so we could also feel 'validated'. Super sweet.. again! one of those small gifts that just makes people smile.
Title of blog... I think makes sense.. but if not.. the Spice Girls made a big deal about 'Girl Power' and sticking together etc.
