When the cat’s away…the mice will play. Such was the case in Wordy Girl Land when hubby was in Argentina this past weekend for work. You see, I haven’t had a proper night out with the girls in ages (um, 5 years?) so it was time to rage against the proverbial mommy machine. Abuela hooked it up and kept the kiddos for the night. God bless that woman for granting me peace of mind. And liberty and justice for all. 

Our night commenced at Magnum Lounge — a New York-style piano bar where the karaoke game is strong as is the gay social scene. We straight gals were definitely outnumbered AND IT WAS EPIC. I’m all for one love and let’s just say a lesbian or two hit on us and the whole charade was both hysterical and complimentary. HEY, I’LL TAKE IT. I’m pushing 40… so any form of flattery is an accomplishment. Duh.

After one-too-many vodka sodas (nothing quite like that liquid courage, eh?), the tribe and I headed out to Libertine in Downtown Miami where we danced until my metallic Choos felt like Chinese foot bindings (God bless those lotus-footed geishas). We even discovered a secret room in the back of the club where racy vintage videos played on a loop. #ShadyShit

One of my besties slept over to keep me company because I fear sleeping in an empty home (I blame my addiction to Dateline for this particular phobia). As I drifted asleep in a woozy haze the alarm clock read 3:30 a.m. and I whispered to myself, “I’VE STILL GOT IT!”

Boom. Clap.
