GOD.  What is HAPPENING with people?!

The Bitches at Sazio

Last night was Steph’s birthday. And as we always do, this meant a gathering of very funny, very successful, very beautiful women and a large consuming of wine.

Although we missed Nina, it was nice to have the gang there. I hadn’t seen some of them in ages (GENA), and I can’t remember laughing that hard in a long, long time. Our “quick” dinner soon lasted three hours, and I’m sure our waitress was glad to see us go. (Seriously.. she was not very good at what she did.)

My favorite part of this picture is that our table is covered in what we all adore most: wine glasses, books, wallets/money, and cake.

We were even on our best behavior through most of the appetizer, until Caroline pointed out that no one had mentioned even a LITTLE gossip since we all sat down. We all looked at eachother, then broke up in to minigroups to fill the others in on what they had missed. Good times.

When I came home and plopped on the couch, Bryan noted that I was still smiling. “You know,” I said thoughtfully, “sometimes, it’s nice to just go and hang out with some bitches.”

In this pic:

• One of us was pregnant
• One of us was making six figures
• One of us developing her witchcraft

(There were massages to follow, when Ra would offer up the phrase, “Kick her in the cunt”.  And everyone saw the masseuse eye the door.)
