I do enjoy the simple things. Lisa came over to hangout in the backyard and brought treats. Popcorn and Hanger One Kaffir Lime Vodka with soda water from BevMo! We listened to Pandora (Rebelution station) and flipped through gossip magazines while catching up. Ryan was in the city doing Josh's bachelor party which included dinner at Bubba Gumps and a strip club. I couldn't hide my disgust from Lisa, thankfully she agreed it sounded both cheap and trashy. And added to my delight that guys who go to a strip club probably shouldn't get married.
Made me think about the other bachelor parties I have known of. Both my brother and Big Ryan hung out with their best friends and played video games at home. David had a friend who took a camper and did a camping road trip type of deal- with the beach and surfing with the guys. The girl bachelorette parties I have gone to its just dancing and drinking with the girls. Except for Ryan's coworker Christine who invited Ryan (the one guy) to her party - that too I would consider a slap in the face and unorthodox.
For myself I wonder what I would want. Calm and relaxing. Versatile. Rent a cabin or house in Tahoe with pool, hot tub and gas fireplace. With the option of club and dancing at night. Or maybe Napa with wine tasting and gormet food - some type of day spa near by for massages. I most likely be too broke for any of that. But I can dream and wonder - because let's face it I have no plans to get married.
