True to form, I am seriously bagged. I'm pooched, whacked, bushed, and all and all just deadbeat
wrecked but it was totally worth it. I had a great day yesterday and finally
packed it in around one o’clock this morning.
Yesterday had been tentatively planned and
cancelled six times this year. But you know what they say? Lucky number seven! I worked yesterday; grabbed my much needed Chiropractic treatment, then
headed into the light, I mean hen house.

| Colleen, Annie & Me. The original HENS |
What started almost five years ago with a couple of girlfriends has really turned
into an amazing sisterhood.
We ARE the Hens!
Some I see regularly,
some I stay in touch with via Facebook, and some I only see in the hen house. We
land, we catch up, we eat, we roll. We sing, we dance and we crash, precisely in
that order.
The food and fun was to die for but it’s always the laughter, insightful conversation and camaraderie
that makes it so meaningful. Like any great event, you have to have a highlight
reel. That's right, before we make new memories we have to discuss and howl with
laughter at the memories we already have. I’m sure next year the heated discussion
at dinner about my specific lingerie choices (and the laughter that ensued) will be right up there; Shades of Grey and whatever happened to my Friday caller will be numbers two and three.
As the evening progressed, it got loud quickly. The best part about how big our group was
this year? Our singing really sounded remarkable considering our blood alcohol levels. Who knew every single one of us, knew
every single word to BTO’s Taking Care of Business. And that veteran Hen Stephanie, had a photographic memory for song lyrics. Man can she sing
Led Zeppelin! Bazzzinga Henfriend!
All and all, this year we hit an out of the park home run. When it comes to this crew, there will never EVER be a dull moment. That right there makes the breathing through my eyelids today totally worthwhile.
