I’d like to propose a toast. Here’s to the ladies who lunch…
Who groans every time their alarms go off for work? Who always leaves their room a mess because they don’t know what they want to wear?
Who is always running late to work due to the night before? Who gets a coffee and takes a pill for their raging oncoming headache? Who works countless hours to deliver to the man? Who always has a secret hidden inside their tiny teeny designer bags? It’s exactly what you think it is.
Who always has a secret pastry on their desk? Who is always observing commotions but never starting them? Who is always side-eyeing? Who can’t wait to leave their mindless 9-5 jobs to have a kiki at the local dive? Who always wants to switch up their order but still gets the same thing? One dirty martini, one cosmopolitan, and one espresso martini.
Who always talks -ish but hey who are they to judge? Pause to reapply gloss. Who blows kisses, cries, and says “I love you so much” when going back home? Who enters their apartment and has a little snack before bed? Who closes their eyes and repeats the same thing the next day?
So here’s to the ladies who lunch.
You are all of us. I mean, they’re just girls.
