In case you have been living under a rock, I will tell you I have been through a lot of stress lately. Ask around, I don't care to rehash it here. So last night Sean and his sister decided that the three of us were going to go out and party like rock stars. It was a good idea in theory. Except, I think rock stars have a way higher tolerance for partying since they do it way more often that an investment consultant and two teachers.
Anyway, we deicded to hit the hip new tapas place in our neighborhood. We all love tapas and they have great sangria (mistake number one). In the course of four hours we sat at the table and munched on little Spanish infused bite sized dishes while the three of us downed 4 pitchers of red wine sangria and then a bottle of regular red wine (mistake number two). Then we decide to get dessert. Well, you can't have dessert over coffee. And what fun is just coffee with cream and sugar so we all have to have our liquor of choise to top off our coffee. (mistake number three). Liquors are very sugary sweet and they brough us out huge snifters full of them. Way more than needed for our coffee. So, after the coffee was down, we had to finish off the Baileys, Frangelica, and Kahluha. (mistake number four). Some things aren't ment to be done as shots from a brandy snifter. THen after four hours of this we hit a couple more bars on the walk back home. The drinks at this time became a blur (mistake number five) - you never want to mix. I do believe it got to the point that we were debating going to one of the hookah bars in the neighborhood but somehow mercifully one of us realized that would be a really bad idea since none of us smoke. This decision mercifully derailed mistake number six.
So here I am, mild mannered little Lacey. Sean is still in bed. My stomach is in knots. I am exhausted. And the only thing I want to do is brush my teeth and start the day. But, I am smart enough to know that I have to wait until my stomach calms down BEFORE introducing minty toothpaste to the mix. I'm too old and out of shape for this. But, I have decided that I had a blast. In my next life, I am so coming back as a rock star so that I can do it EVERY night. Hopefully then my tolerance will go up and I will be able to brush my teeth in a timely manner.
