I organized a "girls only" picnic for today.

Great idea!!!

I just took a co-worker out on Monday for a birthday dinner. There were three of us and we had two salads and a sandwich, no alcohol, appetizers or desserts. The other co-worker and I split the bill, which my share was $22... + tip.

A picnic definitely sounds great!

Sounds like fun! Enjoy your picnic and let us know how it goes.

What a fun idea!!! I bet you will have alot of fun.

Great idea, sounds like fun.

I'd been fussing all week trying to find a pretty way to wrap the sandwiches.. then I wound up buying round rolls and now I'm confuddled again. Some people don't worry about silly things like that, but I'm a futzer.

By the way.. I should have said earlier.. I wish you all could join us!

That would be so much fun!

My two closest friends and I go out every first Thursday of the month. We chose that day because we are all likely to have money, since we get paid the first of the month.

Last month we went to an Indian restaurant. The food was excellent but the bill for the three of us was $96, before the tip. No alcohol, just water and hot tea.

When i was little our "nanny" would wrap our sandwiches in a piece of wax paper as that was what was available back then . but she would also put a piece of colored tissue paper on the outside of the waxed paper so our sandwiches were all wrapped in different colors. all she did was put down a piece of tissue paper then the wax paper on top - then the sandwich then wrap it up as one piece and the tissue paper was on the outside and always looked so nice. I used to do the same for my stepkids too. We also would have fruit that was polished to within an inch of it's life and 2 cookies put together with colored icing - like 2 choc chip cookies stuck together on the bottom with a bright colored icing. Anne Ruth's lunches were something to behold !
