  wow. it's been almost a week since i've written anything.  so highlights?  Last Thursday.  July 17th.  GIRLS NIGHT OUT.
 man oh man.  it was tight!  Me,  Riz,  Joy,  Mookie,
 Nenette,  and Mel.  Mel?  who's mel?  She's one of Rich's close friends.  who i've gotten to know just recently.
 i thought it would a great idea to have her kick it with the girls.  she's so easy going and fun to be with. i just knew that my girls would appreciate that.  anyhow.  as i was saying. the night was tight.
 we had dinner at Applebee's.  all of us gossiping and catching up on whatever we've missed out on.  then we went to Friday's.  same ish. but louder since we've all had our fair share of drinks. oh by the way.
i have PICTURES!  haven't had the chance to put them on ofoto. but i will soon enough.  anyway.  i love my girls.  i really do.
 i'm so happy to have them in my life.  they keep me sane and healthy.  i don't feel like i can miss out on anything or feel misunderstood with them here with me. i mean sure we don't hang out as often as before.  but it's okay.  and to be honest.
i don't think i can hang like i used to.  but when we do get together. it's like no time has been missed and we learn to love and appreciate one another even more.  and i'm really glad that mel came along. she's going through a rough,  confusing time in her life and I'm glad that my girls and I can be there for her.
 not necessarily to give her advice.  but to give her the assurance and the support that everything will be okay. i mean one of the reasons why i own my confidence and strength is because of my girlfriends.  and i know this bonding girl time will help her sort her thoughts. so this thursday.  i think we're hitting up San Jose Bar &
 Grill.  new scenery.  new vibe. different food.  can't wait!
