The blog is alive

After much waiting and anticipation the "Ladies who like to Drunch" Blog is finally up and running. I mean I could come up with a million excuses as to why it took so long but since you are all like me in some way(working, mom, wife, and a slight procrastinator) you've heard them all so why bother. I hope you all enjoy and that we're still doing this when we are 60 and have turned drunch into more than just a drinking lunch.....hell maybe by then it will be "dreekend dracation" every month....let's hope!!!

History of "the ladies who drunch"

When I refer to “the ladies who drunch” I am using the word ladies loosely. For, to the best of my knowledge, none of us are born from Royal Blood or sport a dazzling Lineage. As ladies we are only polite when it suits us or repentant when need be. Our language is one of laughter and good times, sharp tonges and soft hearts. Though we are not ladies in the traditional sense, we are still women and friends and confidants. Everything that one would deem necessary when searching out lifelong companions. And drunch is our time to emerse ourselves in our ladyhood. To remind ourselves that to be whole in life one must spend a good amount of time laughing over the good and the bad. And the ladies who drunch help us to do just that.

Drunch: a history Back in early 2009, I was now the stay at home mother of 2 young children. I began to realize that life was taking over and the living was slowly drifting away. Even though I loved my growing family, I missed my girlfriends. I needed the downtime that being around them provided, be it ever how brief. They allowed me to blow off steam and stress and to be the lady I knew I was inside under the wife and mother, butt-wiper and laundry doer. I missed my girlfriends! Motherhood had taught me that I do my best thinking at night, in the quiet and peace that children in cribs and locked in rooms brings. So it happened that at the stroke of 1am, on March 12th, 2009, Drunk Lunch popped into my head. THAT WAS IT!!! as a group I needed to see my girlfriends regularly! And a lazy weekend lunch with the added benefit of alcohol would do the trick! That way husbands couldn't complain about us being gone and sitters were free of charge. Once I put the idea out there, I was thrilled that my best lady pals were also excited about the idea.

April 2009, Drunch at Rositas~Greenlake! Our very FIRST Drunch! I feel so lucky to have the great collection of girlfriends that I have. I imagine them all on a shelf on my wall. But instead of collecting dust like my bottlecap and Rainbow Bright collections, I get to take them all down once a month and play with them!!!! And play we do!!! what fun!!!
