When was the last time you had a Girls' Night Out? Do you have regularly scheduled ones with your friends? What do you & your gal pals do during a typical GNO?

I had a badly needed GNO this weekend & I've made a promise to myself to have one regularly -- hopefully once a month. :thumbup:

We just went to a restaurant bar for drinks + apps + chatter, but it was great to catch up and so nice to not have kids crawling all over me and needing me to cut up their food and take them to the bathroom. :p
 
A real honest girls night out? Probably last time I was in Vegas with the SSD girls :( how sad is that.
 
I just met up with a friend that I knew when we lived in Korea. It was her 40th birthday and she and a bunch of friends decided to meet up in San Antonio so I was able to get away for a night and have dinner with them.
 
I had one last Thursday. We always go out for dinner and catch up with each other. We're always 4 girls, 4 co-workers, but one of them is retired. So it's a chance to see her again. She's like our second mother and our psychologist.
 
I used to have a monthly Bunco with some friends but I had to back out. Too much other stuff going on. I also attend a Digi Night Out with some friends. It's held every other month. I haven't been able to make the last few though :( Again, too much going on. Crazy! I'm in desperate need of one!
 
Three years ago. Seriously. My friends and I planned it for a year because I cannot just go out because my husband is working and I'm taking care of my daughter. I feel shy about asking my in laws to take care of my dd so I could go out. I don't want them to think that I'm selfish or something. Missing my girlfriends.
 
Never..... I think the last time I was out with my one local friend was before I was pregnant with my 3rd son, so 9 years ago, and even that wasn't all that fun.... it was my BFF but we went out with all her youngin' classmates (she went back to college), so I was the odd person out of the loop the whole night. :blink: None of my friends are local anymore so it just doesn't happen.

I met a group of girls through a monthly Bunco night, I haven't actually been to Bunco in months, but the core group of us get together about once a month.

We're going to see Dirty Dancing Live on Stage in December, and doing a gift exchange. It's a lot of fun.
 
Never LOL, but I get an occasional Girl's Day Out. Sitter issues, none of us are into drinking, and movies are cheaper during the daytime. Can't remember the last one, but a friend and I are going out Friday to see Mockingjay Pt. 2, have lunch, and possibly do a little Christmas shopping.
 
I try to go out with my best friend at least once a month - dinner, shopping, concerts, plays, etc. We both have teenager daughters so we drag them along! We surprised them with One Direction tickets in December.....so at least I'll know we'll be getting out again soon :P

I think the last girl's night out (with all of us) was at the end of the Summer! Yikes!

it's rare...and it's ALWAYS planned. I created my own monster there.
I'm a big book dork so most of my GNOs are planned with my book friends (at signings) or digiscrap get togethers. I do go out usually every few months with a friend I have here, but, honestly? I'd say every 3 months or so

I JUST was in Chicago for the day/night this weekend and I'm still buzzing from that one (not literally...I just mean from having such a great time with even better friends).
 
I'm single without kids, so girls nights out are the only nights out I know. My friends all live further away though, so some months I see them four or five times and other months I just see them once or twice.
 
I have a group of amazing friends that plan GNO's all the time. There's 8 of us and we go out at least twice a month Sometimes its breakfast and pedicures or dinner and a movie, it's always something different but seems to center around food LOL! We are going out this week to see Boyz 2 Men! Woo Woo.
We did a PJ's and Pearls party with a Kate Spade theme one night and all got matching bracelets sooo fun!
 
Never - LOL - thankfully I don't have young kids and I get plenty of adult time for myself - I don't drink and I don't eat the crap food that most restaurants serve, so going out like that doesn't interest me.

I do get time with my BFF shopping or we have a GNI (girls night in) with us and our teens for movies and good food that we cook - that's what relaxes me and makes me feel good.

We also have FNO (family nights out) with another of my BFFs whose 2 sons who have gone to school with and have been good friends with my daughter for years and I went to HS with her husband - we go to local college games, shows, movies, etc. In the summer we do BBQ/pool parties and hang out by the campfire at night. We all enjoy each other's company so it's always fun.

When I think about it, I really don't enjoy the company of a lot of women at once... brings back memories of a lot of drama back when we were military :thumbdown:
 
I'm not into going out at night so no GNO for me. I do try and have a girly day out with each of my best friends every few months though.

I am super introverted so I rarely go out (also, I have a slim few friends). I don't remember when the last true girls night out was. On Thursday of this week, I am going out for drinks with some coworkers (and a former coworker who now lives in Alaska but is back for a visit) but it'll be small and short. So I'm not sure it counts. :p
 
Probably 5 years ago! LOL!
I think it was the farewell dinner with a girl friend that used to go to Uni with me. Now that I move to China, I know no one here and have no friends, except for those living in my computer :wub:
How I wish I have one of those GNOs though... Missing that time. :(
 
This morning. We had breakfast and went shopping. We try to get together once or twice a month without the kids.
 
A couple of weeks ago I went over to a friends house after the kids were in bed for a movie and chatting. So I guess it was a GNI. This Thursday I'm going to Bunco (will be my 2nd time going). We've talked about doing a girls weekend away (even if that means we stayin town & get a hotel room) no definite plans have been made though!

We've lived here for about 7 years and I have finally found some friends that I look forward to spending time with and we all enjoy each other's company. Sad it took so long but I'm so glad we are friends!
 
I went out for Halloween and then had a GNO about a week an half ago. I have a friend I go to HH with monthly and I have another crew of girlfriends that meet every couple of months (it used to be monthly, but kids have made schedules more difficult).
 
Last school year I went out for lunch a lot with coworkers, and we were all pretty friendly. This year we had a lot of turnover, so we haven't been going out.

Real GNO hardly ever happens. I'm always surrounded by people, so what I really want when DH watches the kids is time by myself.

I'm terrible at planning them with large groups, but a friend and I have started a little mini band, me on the guitar and she on the mountain dulcimer or ukulele, and we try to get together for a couple hours once a week. These days my middle daughter is still with us, but usually she's good and just likes to snuggle and listen since it's during quiet time. It's not a GNO, but those can be hard to plan since her hubby is always on-call. It also works because we have introvert tendencies and find music to be therapeutic.
 
Fairly regularly. My current mom's group is really good about planning GNOs. And one of the women in that group is also starting a bi-monthly craft night that I will be going to.

DH recently returned from a year overseas so I figure with all that single parenting he only owes me about 342 more GNOs... ;)
 
in the rarely to never camp... most of my friends are homeschooling pastor wives.. haha! The most wild we get is coffee every other month...
 
Last Friday. Got together with my girlfriends to scrapbook. We used to get together once a month, but now it's much less frequent.
