I’m not a huge fan of reality television, but lately I’ve been following a show called “The Week the Women Left”. The premise of the show goes something like this; you take a small town in Canada – send all the woman on a luxurious holiday for a week – leave the men in charge of the kids, house, pets, work, etc – and of course total mayhem ensues.
Truth is, when I’m out of town Tom runs a tight ship - and Tex and Maggie are well loved and cared for, other than being subjected to hours and hours of CNN and cable Sports channels.
What I find most interesting about this particular reality show, however - is how the women of Tatamagouche, Halifax react to a week of freedom.
Even though I adore my family, there are times when my downstairs "woman cave" just isn’t enough. The show got me thinking, maybe I’m not the only woman who needs an occasional break. What if a group of us like-minded girls got together and split the rent on a downtown loft or apartment? Think of it as the ultimate chick pad.
All I really need is a few days every month. Just some time to catch up on my sleep and recharge my batteries. It wouldn’t have to be big or swanky, just a refuge for the weary.
In case anyone reading this would like to join me, I’ve taken a stab at listing our requirements:
- Kitchen is not essential, the closest thing to cooking will be ordering take out and heating it up in the microwave.
- Fridge is a must - cold champagne, selection of cheeses and chocolate dipped strawberries should always be close at hand.
- Emphasis on a beautiful bed with soft, comfortable and clean linens.
- BABT (big ass bath tub)
- Rather than a well stocked pantry, lots and lots of beauty products – or even better, close proximity to a spa.
- DVD’s of chick flicks, good books, and a big stack of fashion magazines.
- No phone, Internet, or access to blackberry
- Maid service provided daily
- And most important of all.........a lava lamp and clap-on fireplace
What do you think, ladies. Are there any takers out there?

I'm in....and NO ONE is allowed to say the word "Mommy" or anything that resembles that word. Spelling it is out too!
I'm totally in! I thought of this a long time ago and my thinking of it spurred the script for a play that I'm going to pen some day....it's called " The Loft" and it's about a group of women who needed a "place" for exactly the same reason you talked about. Each act of the play will be how each woman uses "The loft". As you can guess it gets interesting as time goes on....one woman starts using it for her affair, one is a secret prostitute ( raising some $$ to run away from dud hubby), one uses it to deal drugs, one uses it to hide her secret shoe obsession!!etc etc.
I'd use it just to have an all white bedroom, order in spicey thai, have a bath without interruption.....ahhhh...
Mika! you've just described heaven on earth ... only a few days a month of course - I'm in!
Add a hot tub and pool table and I'm in. A drawer full of dark chocolate? An art room? The list could go on.
