short notice

Day 4:  Get a drink with your girls.  "Tonight, they’ll sit on your right and left sides at a bar, forming a sort of She-Ra-esque force field. Your friends will intercept and rebuff any men who try to hit on you, because this evening is about you, quality cocktails, and your pals reassuring you that it’s gonna be OK."

Oooooh, an excuse to be all Sex and the City, I'm ON it. 

I sat in a gorgeous trendy bar, with hot bartenders; I had on a fabulous outfit with a pair of brand new Manolo Blahniks.  I sipped Cosmos, with two of my girlfriends, and we all flipped our hair and rejected the 50 or so men that hit on us. 

Or not...

The truth is I went to a local pub, in my jeans, with Dr. Cox and Booya; I ordered a pint of Newcastle.  The waitress was older than my mother and called us "hon" and tonight's special was Bud Bottles. 

It was the best I could do on short notice.

There was really NEVER a chance of either Dr. Cox or Booya having to fend off, rebuff, or intercept anyone, and that was fine with me.  I did some talking, I did some listening, Dr. Cox flipped his hair, and I left feeling like it was all gonna be ok...mission accomplished.
