Girls’ Night

There is nothing like a night spent with your best girlfriends, chatting, eating great food, and crafting your way through the evening. I am glad that Mr. Schön and me have a lot of things in common, in fact we find new hobbies we both love every other day. At the moment we do a lot of running, healthy cooking and watching tv series (The Walking Dead has hooked me!), besides the going out with friends a lot. But from time to time it is just as great that everyone of us has their own hobbies. So we have plenty to talk about and time to recharge the batteries on our own. Him, e.g. by playing Ingress (ever heard of it? If you haven’t check it out, you might enjoy it), me by crafting, knitting, crocheting and sowing.

Ladies’ Night is – as you can guess – one of this recharging-nights. We talk about everything, no taboos, and a lot of compassion, laughing and understanding. Plus, we are ultra-productive, in our mending / knitting – activities.

I can still remember, when I used to study, in Bochum, we had a fairly regular ladies’ night as well, (different girls than now) and the guys always talked about going to peephole and trying to overhear our conversations. (I bet they imagined sweaty pillow fights and pyjama-parties) But I guess the eavesdropping would have given them quite some insights into womens’ minds and problems. We girls should think about maybe sharing some of our deep insights for, let’s say back massages or any other kind of nice favour. Quid pro Quo.

Off to girls’ night now. Meet your friends and celebrate, knit and play, enjoy having them near you, they are as special as anyone can be.
