Oh, To Be a Man

(and no, this isn't a disparaging post)

I saw this party write-up on Hostess with the Mostess today. I lurve this idea; it makes me wish that I was a man so that I could have a Grumpy Old Man Party.

A Grumpy Old Woman Party just wouldn't be the same. Let's compare possible itineraries...

Grumpy Old Men (this was the original party-goers itinerary)

• get up really early
• put on awesome old men clothes
• go to a donut shop and read the newspaper
• go longboarding
• work on the car
• breakfast at the local diner
• 18 holes of golf
• lunch at the clubhouse; plus whiskey and pipe smoking
• shenanigans in the parking lot (likely thanks to the whiskey)
• jacuzzi time
• swim racing (even grumpy old men need to compete)
• BBQ for an early supper
• drinks at the local dive bar

OK, what could a Grumpy Old Woman Party include

• wake up early
• get dressed in old woman clothes
• grab huge purse and head to the beauty salon for a "set"
• gossip while getting hair did
• go out to a pancake house for breakfast and coffee
• gossip while having breakfast
• head to a watercolor class (which could actually be fun. Anyone heard of watercolor nudes???)
• light lunch and complaining contest (mostly cocktails LOL)
• bargain shopping (everyone would have to pull a metal cart behind them and would only have a certain amount of money to spend; who could do it the best)
• relaxation time (pedicures at the spa; let's get those corns looked after)
• supper at a swanky restaurant where we laugh uproariously and have no verbal filter
• drinks at a blue collar pub; where we can harass all the men for a change

Well, I've changed my mind. An Old Woman's party just might be simply delightful!

What ideas do you have for activities??? I just might have to throw one of these parties, so throw the ideas my way!
