While I love the company of my husband, sometimes you just need some girl time.  And I got that in spades yesterday.

Right after school, I left for Covent Garden with a friend from work.  We were going shopping for all things Clinique…it was one of those times where if you buy two items you get a free gift.  As I haven’t purchased any makeup in a while, I thought it’d be nice to get a new lippy in a bright sunshiny colour (sometimes you need that in non-sunshiny London) and hope to find a mascara that won’t run under my eyes…we’ll see what the outcome is on that, but the lippy is a nice bright rose pink - perhaps a bit 80s but kinda fun.

Then on to Hammersmith to meet up with a few Americans in hopes of joining other at an expat meetup.  Well…we never met any other Americans, but we certainly had our share of fun, decent Indian and a few laughs.  We’re definitely heading back to the Dove as it’s a cool bar and the houseboat guys kept us on our toes.  Entertaining all around…I think my witty remarks were well regarded - then again it might have been my alcohol fueled mind perceiving it that way.  Irrespective of that, it was a night to remember.  Great time girls!!!
