Jennifer's 365 Project

Tonight was another girls night at Monterrey Grille in Caledonia. This time the group got even larger, including Terese-Ann (which may totally be spelled wrong but is on the L of the pic) and Sherry to our already existing Shelly, Wendy, and Val group.

The night was good but I have to remind myself to never over a Sangria there again. I should know better, as this is the second time I've done it. Last time the Sangria came back as just house red wine with some pineapple. Ok....I can drink that. This time it came with every fruit they could find, including canned peaches and a lemon wedge. Now while I could see having peaches in Sangria, I could not see having lemon wedges/slices....

The food was good, as it always is, and the company intriguing.

I look forward to the next girls night in November.

So this Tuesday was the first of the month and in keeping with recent tradition, I met up with Shelly, Wendy, and our newest edition Valerie.

So we hung out for a few hours, discussed various topics ranging from benign issues to very sensitive, inappropriate topics. All in all it was a great night and a lot of fun.

There was even cheesecake involved! YUM!

Slowly going out for drinks with Shelly and Wendy is becoming a monthly ritual. And - it appears - we are adding more and more people. Which is cool since I haven't met a friend of Shelly's or Wendy's that I didn't get along with.

Prior to going out, however, I headed over to Shelly's to be her little tech support. I messed around on her computer, cleared up some issues, and left some pending for Monday when I will be back over there (sorry Dan & Sherry!). She's got a pretty cute couple of cats, and they're always friendly (especially Mocha).

So here is a shot of Shelly, Val, and Wendy (and me!) at the Monterrey Grille in Caledonia . I really have to remember to not order certain types of drinks at sports bars. Like Sangrias. Seriously. If you dont know how to make it - don't have it on the menu. They didn't even use red wine in it.

Friends are a good thing to have. They lift you up when you're down, they are another perspective on an issue, a refreshing face, they are therapy.

Its always great to get together with Wendy and Shelly. They're spunky, funny, and tolerate my odd perspective on things. Unlike the usual Tres Amigos, however, we tried something different. A restaurant over in Caledonia closer to Wendy call Monteray Grill. It was pretty good and this time we managed to cement a recurring monthly "girls night."

All in all I'd say it was a good night.
