Girl Talk

So how much girl talk is enough? I don't mean the normal chit chat about kids or whining about housework. I mean the real nitty gritty stuff. K and I were talking about this subject yesterday. We work together and in a normal work week we probably spend more time together than we do with our families. So there isn't much I don't know about her and vice versa. I'm OK with that. I'm pretty much an open book. If I wasn't I couldn't write this.

So, how much do you spill? How far do you go? Do you share the details? Start the conversation? After a great deal of alcohol you may get me to agree or disagree with something or give you a simple yes or no. Under no circumstances would I freely offer info. I just can't really cross that bridge. Maybe the problem is that most of my girlfriends know my husband too well. I think I also know their husbands too well and those thoughts or visuals are just not neccessary. I may have trouble holding a conversation without a smirk or wondering eye.

On the flip side, what about guy talk? How far does your husband go? Do you know?

I know without a doubt that my husband is as tight lipped as they come. I find that so respectful. I know he's been poked and prodded for more details, but he holds firm. Now don't get me wrong. By no means am I a prude who doesn't enjoy a little juicy gossip or a good deep down belly laugh or giggle....Just as long as it's not on my account.

So here's my thing. Isn't your imagination so much better than reality sometimes? I love that no one knows those details about me. A tight lipped devilish smirk is always so much more fun. Let them guess and wonder. They think they know...but do they really know?
