Girls’ Trips Never Get Old
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Friends, Weekend |Some of my dearest girlfriends from college came out to Salt Lake City this past weekend. We went to San Diego State University which probably explains the basic theme when we get together. (Here’s a hint: we’ve all have done keg stands.)
We’ve known each other for 20 years. Wow, that makes them sound old!
There are a group of 5 of us that get together a few times every year. Now they all live in California…well, all except me. I moved to Utah to ski. They stayed in California so they could spend all their money on mortgage payments.
Only 4 of us could make this trip. The one that didn’t make the trip loves her dad more than us. We have nicer boobs than her dad, but whatever. She’s an attorney so I’m not fucking with her choices. She’ll sue me.
Back to the weekend. It was a fabulous! I love these girls. This weekend filled with:
- drinking
- eating (completely unplanned but we ate at Porcupine Pub for 3 of the 4 meals)
- a hike
- drinking
- shopping
- very little sleep (mostly my doing since I’m known for waking up early and making sure everyone else has that opportunity)
- drinking
- lots of talk time in pajamas (I said pajamas, not nighties, as pictured below)
- middle of the day beer drinking at a dive bar (picture also below)
- lots of fucking love
The beginning of slumber party on the first night!
Hang over hike up Bells Canyon.
Bar shot looks just like us in college…bad lighting, not showered, drinking mid-afternoon.
Before dinner on the second night.
Having these ladies in my life (all 5 of them) for so long makes me appreciate unconditional love and friendship. I don’t know what I’d do without them. We don’t talk often but when we do it’s like we hung out yesterday.
Do you have friends like this?

Sigh! That makes me miss my college girls! That’s it! I’m planning something. Even though you and I didn’t go to college together, you’re a good time. Wanna join?

Becky: Seriously? I’m in. Will it be in Wisconsin and can I drink lots of beer and fried cheese curds (really squeaky ones) and that really cold liquor shot (can’t remember the name)? If so, I’m there. Tell me when. I’ll act like I went to school with all the girls.

Love you Susan…even if you did make me take the hike from hell.

MooKooJoe: Black holes are lame. Especially for living. Great place for skeletons when your closet gets too full though.
