We were having cocktails at The Mark hotel bar.

We decided to dine there since Steph had read in People that Cameron Diaz went there the other day and she was hoping to run into some celebs.

It was after a perfect day. Lunch and shopping with Stephanie and Julie, facials, cocktails with Liz and David (which clearly was the tipping point for how we felt the next morning) followed by our evening out.

We were both dressed to the nines and since, though he insisted not from personal experience but because he was relying on a friend that knew a lot about hookers, David insisted that that bar is filled with ‘working girls’, we were either hoping to pick up some pocket change or lure some unsuspecting older gentleman in with my ‘good girl’ personna.

Steph is happily married so she wasn’t interested for herself but since as she says she’s bound to get “stuck” with me in the end , if she could pawn me off on someone else she’d breathe a sigh of relief . That’s why the night was on her.

Only I look on her statement as a vow of love because I know that Steph wouldn’t get stuck with anyone unless she wanted to. She’s the mean girl in the family.

Anyway it was after my third cosmopolitan that I mentioned that my life was so much more interesting and fun now than it had been in years.

Steph said “he really gave you a gift. You’re only on this earth for a short time then you’re gone for ever and ever”

The “piece of shit” and “scumbag whore” were my words but I know she concurs.

Actually I was going to add  “cocksucking” but I didn’t want to scare away any new readers.
